This example could illustrate hot to put lyrics to a new voice which
appears in the middle of the music, without using skip at all:

<<
  \new Staff {
    c'1
    \new Voice = "verse" { d'1 }
    c'1
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" \lyricmode { "Hi" }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" \lyricmode { "Hi" }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" \lyricmode { "Hi" }
>>
