Sadcore Sundays – “Soft Skeletons” by Anberlin

Lyrics:

“Soft Skeletons”

Dear little girl, (there’s) 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.
