Frightened Rabbit - Backyard Skulls lyrics
Artist: Frightened Rabbit
album: Pedestrian Verse
All our secrets are smothered by dirt
Underneath paving stones, lying, waiting to be told
Some stay hidden whilst some get found
Like a long lost soul, like a skull beneath the ground
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
♪
Here lies the first time that I was wrong
And there is no more sign, no X's mark this spot
The ancient encounters with foreign skin
All but perished by now, but you can't erase the grin from those
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
Through patio doors, lies century upon century
Of skulls untold, as hushed as suburban adultery
Below our homes, underneath the lawns we keep
White silent skulls are smiling at the hypocrisy
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
Underneath paving stones, lying, waiting to be told
Some stay hidden whilst some get found
Like a long lost soul, like a skull beneath the ground
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
♪
Here lies the first time that I was wrong
And there is no more sign, no X's mark this spot
The ancient encounters with foreign skin
All but perished by now, but you can't erase the grin from those
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
Through patio doors, lies century upon century
Of skulls untold, as hushed as suburban adultery
Below our homes, underneath the lawns we keep
White silent skulls are smiling at the hypocrisy
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
