lyrics

SKIN & BONES
You’re just skin & bones
Brought in from the cold, singing your restless song
You’re back here again
Like a long lost friend, back where you belong

All your life you’re living in your old ways
All your life you’re playing out your old days

You speak in broken rhymes
Running out of time before the hangman’s call
You better run and hide
Forget that your pride comes before a fall

All your life you’re telling me the same tales
All your life you’re walking down the wrong trail

You never see the signs
Never open up your mind to see the path you’re on is broken
You never face the facts
Always turn your back on the words that you’ve just spoken
What waits for you now?

All your life I’ll never ever see you change
All your life you’ll always have someone to blame
All your life
All your life
All your life
