Skulls

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I came here for sanctuary

Away from the winds and the sounds of the city

I came here to get some peace

Way down deep where the shadows are heavy

I can't help but think of you

In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander

To some distant century

When everyone we know is six feet under

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

For all to see

When our lives are over and all that remains

Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I'll be buried here with you

And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

I don't want to rest in peace

I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you

I hope you can make me laugh

Six feet down when we're bored of each other

A match is our only light

It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here

These coins sit upon our eyes

Pool our funds and pay the boat together

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

For all to see

When our lives are over and all that remains

Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I'll be buried here with you

And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

And now it's all before you

Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

When our lives are over and all that remains

Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I'll be buried here with you

And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
