If I Had Skeletons Lyrics

I met a boy

Who was calling out for loving

Don't know what's worse

That I answered or what's coming

I strangled all he had to give

He had the life I couldn't live

Dug his heart out with a spoon

For a blood red moon

If I had skeletons

To wear them like my skin would be a sin

So I keep them in the ground

If you could see my ghosts

Right through the flesh into my soul

You'd beg me to never let them out

I knew a man

Who was righteous to the letter

Or so he said

But his fury showed you better

Begged me to scream into the night

Roots digging deep in shame and fright

Shake the poison tree and call

How far the apple falls

If I had skeletons

To wear them like my skin would be a sin

So I keep them in the ground

If you could see my ghosts

Right through the flesh into my soul

You'd beg me to never let them out

I found a girl

Who was drowning in the darkness

I dropped the match

Flames grow fast, I could not stop it

Between the fire and the waves

Choked on the smoke, made my escape

Left her there to find her fate

All for my mistake

If I had skeletons

To wear them like my skin would be a sin

So I keep them in the ground

If you could see my ghosts

Right through the flesh into my soul

You'd beg me to never let them out

If I had skeletons

To wear them like my skin would be a sin

So I keep them in the ground

If you could see my ghosts

Right through the flesh into my soul

You'd beg me to never let them out

Oh, you'd beg them to never let me out
