lyrics

skin and bone (never thought i’d me it)

GC
never thought i’d make it backb4 dawn begins
itook a lot of damages/sandwiches got paid it back with sense

D
noneOF this past believing has any ripple left

CG
things sure change quickpricks
kickkicking with dah pricks
quick buildA the dahfence

i have’t been bleeding/bleeded yet to where gin don’t make it better
CG
ATleast 4the while al t least for the while

never thought i’d make it backb4 dawn begins/began
itook a lot of chances got pay back in the end
i’m always running down some road andup A round the bend
towards semblances sense vsersus pure prettence/pretend

never thought id’ make it back to here from there again
i took a lot 4 granted i made my bed of plants
2 hide under the covers avoiding bites from ants
sticks 2 stone sticks 2 stone
ROCK PAPER SCISSORS

i never thought i’ make it past/back 2 where i’ve been
i took my friends for 4 granted they’ve paid me back as friends
they’ve always been around whenever i’m in need
skin on bone skin on bone


they put me up to the plate i struck out ever time
i got down on my knees and prayed i ain’t the praying kind

D
i prayed for light and shadow i prayed 4/with peace of/in mind
high on the tide high on the tide

here 4 the ride here for the ride here for the ride
