Anberlin - 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
Don’t you doubt
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
Don’t you doubt
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
Don’t you doubt
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
Don’t you doubt
How can you expect to win this war
If you’re too afraid to fight.
