Soft Skeletons

Dear little girl

So much hurt

For such a young age

Trapped inside

A pretty little lie

Your body’s betrayed

Don’t fix your eyes

A fix you’ll rely on

Fixed her eyes on

A fix she relies upon

Stand unafraid

All the good souls

Stand unafraid

When the light starts to burn

And the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There’s life in your veins

These needles are chains

To hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

If you’re too afraid to fight

Like you’re too afraid to fight

Dear little girl

Life with so much pain

Time you can’t replace

Trapped inside

Too afraid to cry

Now hands and bruises cover face

Don’t fix your eyes

A fix you’ll rely on

Fixed her eyes on

Effects

When the light starts to burn

And the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There’s life in your veins

These needles are chains

To hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

If you’re too afraid to fight

Stand unafraid

All the good souls [all the good souls]

Stand unafraid

All of the good souls

Stand unafraid

When the light starts to burn

And the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There’s life in your veins

These needles are chains

To hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

When the light starts to burn

And the pain returns

I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

There’s life in your veins

These needles are chains

Ti hold you down

How can you expect to win this war

If you’re too afraid to fight
