One day my skeletons appeared 
And I knew where they were coming from 
Hung by a rope I volunteered 
And I never thought the day would come 
Some boundaries I once overstepped 
Shortcomings I must now accept 
Secrets that could not be kept 
I wish my skeletons had slept

You're not being honest really 
You're really not and ought to be 
Take an honest look at yourself 
Try a little honesty 

To further add to my demise 
Demons never exorcised 
Appeared before my very eyes 
To no one's just my own suprise 
A scenario just so surreal 
Demons once so well concealed 
Were now throughout my whole ordeal 
So real and painfully revealed

You're not being honest really 
You're really not and ought to be 
Take an honest look at yourself
Try a little honesty 
You're not being honest really 
And honestly you've never been 
You ought to take a look at yourself 
Let the honesty begin 

In flew the accusations, the razor-toothed insinuations
Each ghost my own creation, and every monster my invention 
Beasts they came to burden, hell I let whatever stirred in 
And I couldn't get a word in, at this unearthly intervention

They let up when they knew they got through 
They knew I'd never be the same 
With little left to say or do 
They left as quickly as they came 
The life was scared half out of me 
Some way somehow I survived 
A part of me was proud of me 
The day my skeletons arrived 

You're not being honest really 
You're really not and ought to be 
Take an honest look at yourself 
Try a little honesty,try a little honesty
