Frightened Rabbit - Backyard Skulls lyrics

All our secrets are smothered in dirt
Underneath paving stones
Lying waiting to be told
Some stay hidden, whilst some get found
Like a long lost soul
Like a skull beneath the ground

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls
Not deep enough to never be found

Here lies the first time that I was wrong
And there is no more sign
No X's mark this spot
The ancient encounters with foreign skin
All but perished by now
But you can't erase the grin

From those backyard skulls
Deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls
Not deep enough to never be found

Through patio doors
Lies century upon century of skulls untold
As hushed as suburban adultery
And below our homes
And underneath the lawns we keep
White silent skulls are smiling
At the hypocrisy

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls
Not deep enough to never be found
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls
Not deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
