Lime Lorelei - Less Than Human

Paper bones and paper skin
Water pouring tears it thin
Awkward body to make amends
Your new, kind-hearted, ghostly friend
This patchwork heart, these dull, white eyes
Are here for a reason, I've realized
Though the parts are wrong and I'm not that strong
I'll help us all to move along

Though I forget and you regret
The lanterns we made will shine on past sunset
The craters in your hearts are bound to fill
I swear I'll make all this turn out well

Though I'm less than human
This little ghost will make sure everyone's movin'
I'll bear the pain
If I stay by your side will you take this all in stride?
So give me a smile cause we've lots to gain

Community, the smell of bread,
A holy path that's lightly tread
The wind, the sky, a family
The life we built when I was me
But something's changing something's wrong
Although I can't quite place what's going on
Citrine unravels 'cross my skin
Weaving daisy chains between my kin

This world, unseen and so obscene
It seems as though this life amounts to nothing
I'll sow the seeds until my garden grows
Though crows will destroy it even so

Though I'm less than human
I suffer all the same
Though everyone moves on, I feel the pain
Anemones bloom at my feet
But now they're half as sweet
Maybe it's for the best
Just forget me

Though I'm less than human
This little ghost will make sure everyone's movin'
I'll bear the pain
If I stay by your side will you take this all in stride?
So give me a smile cause we've lots to gain
