Bent Left - Skeletons In Your Closet
Verse I:
Swallow the key
Quick before anybody else sees
The horrors where most keep their wardrobes
200 or so bones
Dangling from every hanger
Jars of formaldehyde
Make cozy homes for gouged out eyes
Chorus I:
The souvenirs
You've been collecting all these years
Bidding on brains, auctioning ears
Hoarding the guts and balls of big and small
Skeletons in your closet
Standing a mere three feet tall
As long as the door is closed
You'll be the only one who ever knows
Verse II:
The coast is clear beneath
But a monster rests its head between your sheets
Its glowing gaze cant be escaped
As you peer into the mirror above your bathroom sink
Lenses crafted
Bend the light just right so you dont have to see
Such a striking similarity
Chorus II:
The finer you're cut
The filthier your life is likely to be
You've been fed and clothed and sheltered
Bathed in blood and showered yourself clean
Sacrifices made
To all the gods to which you've prayed
Or paid into their offering plates
And bought you with their offering plates
