lyrics

Do you know what it's like to not breathe for hours
To feel empty inside and cough up blood in the shower
You won't know till you die, how it feels to be sober
When it's all over, can I control or
Do I keep on testing
Cause I'm getting restless
This hole in my stomach has become an obsession
So I'm asking this question
Do you see the regression
In my expression Help me
Do you know what it's like to feel hollow
To feel every swallow, to feel hungry but not though
Do you know what it's like to be empty
I don't let it tempt me, can somebody help me

I keep pushing myself
Might end up losing myself
Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf
I keep tightening by belt
Feeling hungry as hell
But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well
Keep on saying I won't
Keep on saying I don't
But I'm starting to feel my bones show
I decide when I'm done
I decide when to run
You can call me
Mr. Skeleton
Mr. Skeleton

Don't you know why my bones show at night
Don't you know why I don't go in the daylight
Can't you see my framework be undone
Can't you see I'm Mr. Skeleton
Two hundred bleached bones, and a white skull
Hands like stones, like ivory gulls
No scratch that, backlash, my hands are red
The only bleached bones are the ones inside my head

I keep pushing myself
Might end up losing myself
Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf
I keep tightening by belt
Feeling hungry as hell
But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well
Keep on saying I won't
Keep on saying I don't
But I'm starting to feel my bones show
I decide when I'm done
I decide when to run
You can call me
Mr. Skeleton
Mr. Skeleton

Do you now see
This shade of ivory
Is not just my keys
But it's inside of me

I keep pushing myself
Might end up losing myself
Going with nothin when there's food on the shelf
I keep tightening by belt
Feeling hungry as hell
But to eat is to be weak oh I might as well
Keep on saying I won't
Keep on saying I don't
But I'm starting to feel my bones show
I decide when I'm done
I decide when to run
You can call me
Mr. Skeleton
Mr. Skeleton

Mr. Skeleton knows my name
Mr. Skeleton sees my shame
Every bone, every single one
It's all me, I'm Mr. Skeleton

Samuel Wittmayer

My name is Samuel Wittmayer. When I was 16 years old I decided that I wanted to start writing music. A year later I met with a producer to record my first song. That was the start of a four and a half year journey to create my debut album 'Red Hands'. For a long time I was unsure if this project would ever see it's completion, but now that it has it feels surreal. Please enjoy! ... more
