Circa Survive – Flesh And Bone lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caught in the side swipes, attention roulette
We already paid our debt
Label the outlier particularly well
And managed to keep our place

Itching your skin 'til it’s swollen and red
You never remember the price
Holding your heels just to balance the weight
Like only a liar can shake

[Chorus]
And you shone in a way
Right through my hands, despite my place
Until you woke from a trance
Echo my fear, it brought you here
So we can fade out

[Verse 2]
Sentencing might be a glorious day
We’re skipping the extra steps
Void the arrangements and bury the change
I’ll never be honest again

Oh at least you act so well
You’re still guilty in your home
Sirens speak over your veil
I’ll release all you’ve felt

[Chorus]
And you shone in a way
Right through my hands, despite my place
Until you woke from a trance
Echo my fear, it brought you here
So we can fade out

[Bridge]
It’s weighing me down
It’s crushing me down
It’s wearing me out

[Verse 3]
Itching your skin 'til it’s swollen and red
We never remember the price
The ossuary will overflow
A stench like nobody should know

Holding your heels just to balance the weight
Like only a liar can shake
Taken by the garden snake
A sound like nobody should make
