Anne Dorko - 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
