Taxidermy lyrics

Hang me up on your wall, above the coal fire

Keep your promises, keep your promises

Hang me up on your wall, you're such a cold liar,

Do what your father says, what your father says

I still remember your voice, it turns my blood cold

The kids are fast asleep, keep them fast asleep

Your soul still haunts these walls like taxidermy

There's no kiss of light so baby don't pretend

With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head

You can burn the money in the fireplace

Your keep on telling white lies to the little kids

I think it's time they knew just what it means to live

You can burn your parents in the fireplace

I saw you run from the cold out of my arms

Your mother cried for years, she cried for years

I saw you run through the cold, put ice my heart

Now tell me all your fears, I'll be your greatest fear

You couldn't cut the smile from my face

'Cause we're so proud today, we're so proud today

Our eyes will haunt these walls like taxidermy

There's no kiss of light so baby don't pretend

With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head

You can burn the money in the fireplace

Your keep on telling white lies to the little kids

I think it's time they knew just what it means to live

Now burn your parents in the fireplace
