I thought that I was doing fine Never gave a second thought to what I left behind But life's a viscous circle after all this time It's finally coming back around I buried my problems in my mind In a dark secluded place no one could ever find They festered for a while now they're back to life And they've clawed their way from underground They're back and they won't let me be Reanimated corpses haunt my living dreams Just some unexpected visitors but now it seems They've settled for a lengthy stay Now every time I close my eyes I see a bunch of monsters come dancing by They've waited for a while I don't think that I Can convince them all to go away Where did I go wrong Never had a clue that I was that far gone Now the piper wants a payment and it won't be long 'Til he comes to claim his dues I lie awake most every night And I think of situations that I could've handled right Dwelling on the past until the morning light Comes to tell me that it's through Can't get no sleep at night they won't leave me alone They interrupt me with the most unearthly tones My closet skeletons are dancing up a storm They're rattling bones I close my eyes and then they start to wail and moan I toss and turn but can't escape that awful drone My closet skeletons have made my head their home They're rattling bones Bones manifest from the thinnest air Whether I'm alone or if there's someone there But there's only me to blame and so I guess it's fair And I'm enduring what I'm going through Every little slip every time I lied Every time I laughed when I should've cried I can't make them go away no matter what I've tried So I'm learning how to just make do I've got a closet full of skeletons I thought I could escape them but they're back again A list of losses to remind me I can never win No matter how hard I try I close my eyes but I still see Their empty eyed sockets staring back at me Each serves as a reminder of a memory That I thought I left behind Where did I go wrong Never had a clue that I was that far gone Now the piper wants a payment and it won't be long 'Til he comes to claim his dues Mine's a cautionary tale I never saw it coming such an epic fail But when you hear your demons start to wail You know it's much to late for you Can't get no sleep at night they won't leave me alone They interrupt me with the most unearthly tones My closet skeletons are dancing up a storm They're rattling bones I close my eyes and then they start to wail and moan I toss and turn but can't escape that awful drone My closet skeletons have made my head their home They're rattling bones Bones manifest right before my eyes That's why I keep them open 'til the morning light Not sure if I'm ready to give up this fight Forget about the things I know Maybe it's so simple that I just can't see Not as complicated as I thought it'd be Maybe all the answers will reveal to me If I remember how to just let go And keep it sealed tight Push it out of sight Until it feels like Everything is alright Let your mind slide Why put up a fight Just let your soul die Everything is alright I close my eyes and everything is alright
