Soul Lay Open Songtext
von Terence Ryan

There′s an above-ground pool there in the backyard
Threw pennies in, the whole time I was growing up
Figured if life really wished me well
It would turn into a wishing well
And all our suffering would go

Too old at a damn young age
Bedroom like a bird-sung cage on a
New couch with each new Christmas
Won't somebody do these dishes?

Sure as hell I was not the one to
Come around when it came undone
Put second on a winter hit list
All light just went missing

Strong roots but damn these limbs
Out on one cold nights, hard wind
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber


Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Eighteen when the madness stopped
In love with the runaways′ daughters
Each one with the same damn name
Took care of them, forgot me

Sold gateway to friends who've gone
Took shrooms in the night, we formed a
Oath we would never take for granted
Each other, this future

Strong roots but damn these limbs
Out on one cold nights, hard wind
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber

Soul lay open
Soul lay open

(Soul) kin and timber, bold, brave, the middle kid
(Soul) ever since a child, I've been (soul searching)

Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Soul lay open


There′s an above-ground pool there in the backyard
Threw pennies in, the whole time I was growing up
Figured if life really wished me well
It would turn into a wishing well
