Trevor Morgan Album: Wonderlight Track: Skin and Bones
Skin and Bones Lyrics
By Trevor Morgan, Years Later Music (ASCAP) / Goodwin Trev Music (ASCAP)
I'm on the run I'm incognito Moving through these deserted streets I'm underground Like a torpedo I don't want anybody finding me It used to be so easy To keep the world away And hide my angry eyes behind a smiling face But everything has changed
Oh, you can see inside my soul Oh, to the places no one knows More than skin and bones
I'm out of tricks and excuses All the ink in my well is dry You broke the code You lit my fuses Stepped away and watched the pieces fly You see the way I really am The bruises and the tears Behind the walls I built up for years and years Now the coast is clear
Oh, you can see inside my soul Oh, to the places no one knows More than skin and bones
More than meets the ear More than meets the eye More than taste More than touch can ever classify You're looking deep inside
Oh, you can see inside my soul Oh, to the places no one knows More than surface More than skin and bones
Story Behind The Song: I'm great at hiding.
I hide behind my guitar, my wife, my friends - even a microphone. I know it sounds weird, but often it's easier for me to talk to thousands of people from a stage than to talk to one or two in a small room. But I've learned that, in spite of how hard I try, I can't hide from God.
Regardless of the face I paint for everyone else, He knows the truth. His gaze penetrates my skin and bones, finding its way to the very core of who I am - exposing "the bruises and the tears" that I'm so quick to conceal from everyone else. And by the way - this song rocks.
