Backyard Skulls

All our secrets are smothered by dirt Underneath paving stones, lying, waiting to be told Some stay hidden whilst some get found Like a long lost soul, like a skull beneath the ground Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found Here lies the first time that I was wrong And there is no more sign, no X's mark this spot The ancient encounters with foreign skin All but perished by now, but you can't erase the grin from those Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found Through patio doors, lies century upon century Of skulls untold, as hushed as suburban adultery Below our homes, underneath the lawns we keep White silent skulls are smiling at the hypocrisy Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground All those backyard skulls are not deep enough to never be found Deep enough to never be found Deep enough to never be found
