about

A portmanteau of skeleton and tonnage, Skeletonnage is about bad aspects of your past coming back to haunt you (skeletons in your closet) and the weight of expectations that fall upon your shoulders when your past conflicts with your present (tonnage)

lyrics

Trust can be hard to earn but can easily slip,
Don't think Im prepared for these continuous guilt trips,
One could go insane with thoughts of what's the come,
What's happening right now and what's already done,
Look at the state of what this existance has become,
Makes you think how insignificant you are in sum,
Familiar faces blow away in the winds of change,
When the course of real life eventually gets in the way,

Old friends found their answers logical,
Thought this culture was just another obstacle,
Am I crazy to resist the unstoppable?
That I'll soon become just as volatile.

Forget myself as an individual,
Change in us all is becoming quite substantial,
Was young, now old, next I'll be the dying breed,
Is life just a vessel waiting to bleed?

This is all just accordingly,
The right place/the right time,
Positioning yourself at points you'll,
Grasp the chance/reach your prime,
You really wish seek the truth but really you,
Won't want a bar of it,
It's about who you know and what they want,
Exclusiveness makes me sick,

It's about who you know and what they want,
Exclusiveness makes me sick,

When the skeletons come out to play,
And join the demons for the escapade,
Celebrating false personas that you failed to create,
Everything's absurd, truths and lies all blurred,
I came into this to lose my mind and that's exactly what occurred.
