Skin And Bones

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

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.
