“Backyard Skulls” introduces the metaphor of death to the album.
It has been stated by frontman Scott Hutchison to be inspired by a book known as Where The Bodies are Buried. In said book, detectives use aerial images as a means to hunt for undiscovered bodies.

[Verse 1]
All our secrets are smothered in dirt
Underneath paving stones, lying waiting to be told
Some stay hidden, whilst some get found
Like a long lost soul, like a skull beneath the ground
[Chorus]
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
[Verse 2]
Here lies the first time that I was wrong
And there is no more sign, no X's mark this spot
The ancient encounters with foreign skin
All but perished by now, but you can't erase the grin
[Chorus]
From those backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
[Bridge]
Through patio doors, lies century upon century
Of skulls untold, as hushed as suburban adultery
And below our homes, and underneath the lawns we keep
White silent skulls are smiling at the hypocrisy
[Chorus]
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
Backyard skulls, deep beneath the ground
All those backyard skulls, not deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
Deep enough to never be found
