Skin Closure

The sky is blue with blood we never needed to shed
It's run enough, it's run enough, it's run enough
It's not so tough to live amongst
The ones we love if we could just
Put past to dust
Like pass the dutch
The tray is full
I feel the years
They're passing us
I see your fears
The valid ones
That's every one, each and every one
Wearing white as they approach

I'ont think they angels though
Need honesty in all my words
Put me at odds with most of y'all
Don't play the fence, they burn the yard
That southern heat is something else
No barbecue, we getting cooked
Yeah, that's the favorite cooking show
The pedestal of moral ground
Requires sacrifice, you know
The settlers watching from the hill
They rule the land that will erode
Decree the word that Willie wrote
And keep the keys until we bow
I know there's more to focus on
I know I'm preaching to the choir

I know I'm preaching to the choir

You know you can't divorce the cause at all
This ain't the scene I want my heart to draw
There's no appeal to make, no crew to call
To fix this covenant, we broke it off
To see what's governing the way we talk
The language paints the background and the fore
To cash the chips, you must forget the score

The price of life, I know I can't afford
The price of life, I know I can't afford
The price of life, I know I can't afford
The tourniquet is always falling off
The open wound, I know will never scar
The open wound, I know will never scar
The price of life, I know I can't afford
The tourniquet is always falling off
