Churches Rise On My Skeleton by Eric Terino Lyrics
If I gathered bloodless leaves
Would you hold them all for me
If I kicked the barn door down
Would I find your hands on the ground?
These days I can barely speak
There are places the razor can’t reach
If I lie and wait for you
Will I see the dark burn blue?
Will ivy slip through my skeleton?
Where have you been
Where have you been?
If I had the strength to roam
Would I walk the path alone?
If I ripped the curtains down
Would I find your face in the crowd?
Will I shoulder all the blame
For the absence of roses on your grave?
If I lie and say I’m fine
Will you see what I’ve been trying to hide?
Will churches rise on my skeleton?
Where have you been
Where have you been?
If I knew the words to say
Could I wish this all away?
Would you hold them all for me
If I kicked the barn door down
Would I find your hands on the ground?
These days I can barely speak
There are places the razor can’t reach
If I lie and wait for you
Will I see the dark burn blue?
Will ivy slip through my skeleton?
Where have you been
Where have you been?
If I had the strength to roam
Would I walk the path alone?
If I ripped the curtains down
Would I find your face in the crowd?
Will I shoulder all the blame
For the absence of roses on your grave?
If I lie and say I’m fine
Will you see what I’ve been trying to hide?
Will churches rise on my skeleton?
Where have you been
Where have you been?
If I knew the words to say
Could I wish this all away?
