Skin And Bones Lyrics - Magpie And The Dandelion - 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 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

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

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
