The Avett Brothers - Skin And Bones lyrics

[The Avett Brothers - Skin And Bones lyrics]

It's the skin and bones that
Keep me on the road
The shoulderblades of a beast
That haunts my soul
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I shared

It's quick to drag you in but hard to shake
A gift that doesn't match how much it takes
Growing stronger and loud
I lived it but now I'm wanting out

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Wine red letters saying 'Keep in mind
Where I been so don't come in'
But how long can you live in shame
And drop a life long curse
On your own last name
The trouble is, I'm used to it

It's the questions that keep me turning back


To see those rumors turned to fact
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I shared

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Blood red letters saying 'Keep in mind
Where we've been so don't come in'
But how long can we live in shame
And drop a life long curse
On your own last name
The trouble is, we're used to it
The trouble is, we're used to it
The trouble is, we're used to it

It's the tin and boards that
Keep me going home
But, it's who I am that won't let me alone
Growing stronger and loud
Growing stronger and loud
Growing stronger and loud
