Frightened Rabbit Backyard Skulls song lyrics

All our secrets are smothered by dirt, underneath paving stones

Lying, waiting to be told

Some stay hidden, while some get found

Like a long lost soul, like a skull beneath the ground

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground

All those backyard skulls, are not deep enough to never be found

Here lies the first time that I was wrong

But there is no sign, no X's mark this spot

Of the ancient encounters with foreign skin

All but perished by now, but you can't erase the grin from those

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground

All those backyard skulls, are not deep enough to never be found

Through patio doors, lies century upon century

Of skulls untold, hushed as suburban adultery

Below our homes, underneath the lawns we keep

White silent skulls are smiling at the hypocrisy

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground

All those backyard skulls, are not deep enough to never be found

Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground

All those backyard skulls, are not deep enough to never be found

Deep enough to never be found

Deep enough to never be found
