Skin And Bones Lyrics

The Avett Brothers

It's the skin and bones that keeps me on the road
Shoulder blades of a beast that wants(haunts?) my soul
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I share

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

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Blood red letters saying keep in mind
Where I've been, so don't come in
But how long can you live in shame
Drop a life-long curse on your last name
Trouble is I'm used to it

It's the questions that keep me turning back
To see those rumors turn to fact
Wandering lonely and scared
I live the tragedy I share

I built the fence, I hung the sign
Wine red letters saying keep in mind
Where we've been, so don't come in
But how long can we live in shame
Drop a life-long curse on your own last names
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 the board that keeps 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
