Anberlin Soft Skeletons lyrics

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 on 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 one, life was so much pain, time you can't replace
Trapped inside, too afraid to cry and now hands and bruises cover face
Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on
Fixed her eyes on a fix

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
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
Well, 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
