Skin And Bones - The Avett Brothers

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 kiss 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

Blood red letters said '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

Wine red letters said '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 names

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 the board 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
