They pick away at us.
People pick at ugly bones
 The grey breeze covers the sky as Nazis with beady unforgiving eyes
 Easy battle contradicts the little children passing by
 Little pattering feet hit the ground every half step, skipping
 An arid hobbling tune picks at your ears
 For a moment a smile slips across your face
 Then, the fleeting memories of sunny days, daisies at your feet, laughter slips away
 All that is left is that vacant green hill with the echo of children pale across your consciousness
 Silently riding amidst the terrain there is something salubrious
 Grimy rats cringe at those leftover pickings
 There is not much left, without protection, without protector
 Victims made every day everything goes and even memories may disperse
 Ugly bones may pick away at people
