[00:02.03] Skin And Bones - The Avett Brothers
[00:15.47] It's the skin and bones
[00:17.66] that keep me on the road
[00:20.03]
[00:23.59] The shoulderblades of a beast
[00:26.09] that haunts my soul
[00:27.91]
[00:31.53] Wandering lonely and scared
[00:36.01]
[00:39.02] I live the tragedy I shared
[00:43.58]
[00:46.83] It's quick to drag you in
[00:49.27] but hard to shake
[00:50.83]
[00:54.34] A kiss that doesn't match
[00:56.65] how much it takes
[00:58.52]
[01:02.15] Growing stronger and loud
[01:06.96]
[01:09.59] I lived it but now I'm wanting out
[01:14.34]
[01:16.90] I built the fence, I hung the sign
[01:20.72] Wine red letters said 'Keep in mind
[01:24.39] Where I been so don't come in'
[01:28.09]
[01:29.72] But how long can you live in shame
[01:32.72] And drop a life long curse
[01:34.78] on your own last name
[01:36.87] The trouble is, I'm used to it
[01:41.06]
[01:53.31] It's the questions
[01:55.58] that keep me turning back
[01:58.39]
[02:00.83] To see those rumors turned to fact
[02:05.84]
[02:08.66] Wandering lonely and scared
[02:12.66]
[02:15.97] I live the tragedy I shared
[02:20.04]
[02:23.22] I built the fence, I hung the sign
[02:26.97] Blood red letters said 'Keep in mind
[02:30.03]
[02:30.60] Where we've been so don't come in'
[02:35.24]
[02:35.93] But how long can we live in shame
[02:38.93] And drop a life long curse
[02:40.92] on our own last names
[02:42.98] The trouble is, we're used to it
[02:48.05]
[02:48.67] The trouble is, we're used to it
[02:54.76]
[02:56.01] The trouble is, we're used to it
[03:00.82]
[03:14.73] It's the tin and board
[03:16.92] that keep me going home
[03:19.36]
[03:22.67] But it's who I am
[03:24.54] that won't let me alone
[03:27.92]
[03:30.54] Growing stronger and loud
[03:36.55]
[03:37.92] Growing stronger and loud
[03:43.89]
[03:45.39] Growing stronger and loud
