Skin & Bones

Forgive me now

For I have sold my soul for gold

Washed up on shore

A thousand miles away from home

Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones,

alone

I find the answers to questions I have never known

Is there life beyond the grave?

And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?

There must be a better way

Running from time to try and keep myself alive

Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside

Now as I begin to let this in

I must keep the best in mind

And remove myself from the things that are wasting my

time

I know that one of these days

I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates

Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?

I know these words won't hold any weight

But please don't turn away

Don't turn away from me

Is there life beyond the grave?

And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?

There must be a better way

I know that one of these days

I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates

Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?

Is there life beyond the grave?

And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?

There must be a better way

I know that one of these days

I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates

Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?

Forgive me now

For I have sold my soul for gold

Washed up on shore

A thousand miles away from home

Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones,

alone

I find the answers to questions I have never known
