Avett Brothers, The - 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
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

Hi Avett bros ily
It is an awesome song. Visual and descriptive and thought provoking. I had to explain this song to my sons and they found a new respect. This song screams of Humility and passivity. I love this song as it has has hope at the end and great little hook at the beginning if you play. I love how Seth places the Intro into the bridge and continues with the bridge.
Awesome song. Thank you for post.
