Animal Skulls Lyrics by Raynes

’49

2024

When you're born in a ghost town
You learn to sleep just a few feet off the ground
The ground
You keep one shutter open
And keep shakin' and hopin'
They'll let you down
You down
There's a beautiful call
From the desert beyond the walls
You can whisper the words that make you brave
Or stand in your own shallow grave
All the animal skulls
Disregarded and dull
You see the scavenging dogs
Why would you want me to stay?
There's nothing to say anymore
I drank the cup to the bottom
Met the frauds and I fought 'em
With a grin
Again
I keep my hand on a hot gun
'Cause I don't know whether I should run
Or start something
Or something, oh
There's a beautiful call
From the desert beyond the walls
You can whisper the words that make you brave
Or stand in your own shallow grave
All the animal skulls
Disregarded and dull
You see the scavenging dogs
Why would you want me to stay?
There's nothing to say
‘Cause all my rhymes and reasons
You just don't believe in
I'll pack up my things and go
There's a beautiful call
From the desert beyond the walls
You can whisper the words that make you brave
Or stand in your own shallow grave
All the animal skulls
Disregarded and dull
You see the scavenging dogs
Why would you want me to stay?
There's nothing to say anymore
