Skin and Bones

[Verse 1]
When you go down in the hole in the ground
Spare a thought for all that gather around
There's not enough of yourself to put your soul on a shelf
Just have it on for whatever you can get
To pay your final debt
To play your safest bet
When you can't a job 'cause there's nothing in this town
And this pent-up energy wears you down
When boredom settles in and depression starts to win
It's hard to recognise the face that's looking back
That's a painful fact
It's a painful fact

[Chorus]
It's my home, it's where I've grown
It's my home, it's all I've know
It's my home, it's where I've grown
It's my home, it's all I've know
It's left me with just my skin and bones

[Verse 2]
And you dream of skipping town, well it all came crashing down
When your poor old daddy took you in
So you climb inside a beer 'cause it's always crystal clear
Tryna drink all the sorrow outta you
With the same old crew
The birds that never flew

[Chorus]
It's my home, it's where I've grown
It's my home, it's all I've know
It's my home, it's where I've grown
It's my home, it's all I've know
It's left me with just my skin and bones

[Verse 3]
And the only saving grace is your lovely, sweet face
Bet she'll grow old with you
But soon her pretty eyes will show the sadness inside
'Cause you trapped that bird in the cage with you
Two birds that never flew
Two birds that never flew
Two birds that never flew
Two birds that never flew

[Chorus]
This is my home, it's where I've grown
It's my home, it's all I've know
This is my home, it's where I've grown
This is my home, it's all I've know
Before I walk, just rolling stones
So I'll be on, oh, I'll be on
Oh, I'll be on my way
