The things you swept beneath the rug The skeletons in your closet Draped in dusty yesterdays Reek of rotten some days That must've found a place The things you swept beneath the rug All covered in deceit She saw tomorrow in your eyes As you hummed her yesterday lulla-byes The skeletons in your closet Some were people you used to be When weaponized words wore Bitter scars And you forgot how anyone elses world could seem The skeletons in your closet With names like punkin and sweet Filled your bed As you hoped for empty eyes Have you found now how people cant fill you up With Houdini escapist stays In life The things you sweep beneath the rug The skeletons in your closet Things a cruel conscience won't set free Do they find you when we're weak? In a nighttime reminiscent mind When you'll admit that your heart does beat Things I knew you swept beneath the rug But I never thought one of them would be me

The things you swept beneath the rug
The things you swept beneath the rug The skeletons in your closet Draped in dusty yesterdays Reek of rotten some days That must've found a place The things you swept beneath the rug All covered in deceit She saw tomorrow in your eyes As you hummed her yesterday lulla-byes The skeletons in your closet Some were people you used to be When weaponized words wore Bitter scars And you forgot how anyone elses world could seem The skeletons in your closet With names like punkin and sweet Filled your bed As you hoped for empty eyes Have you found now how people cant fill you up With Houdini escapist stays In life The things you sweep beneath the rug The skeletons in your closet Things a cruel conscience won't set free Do they find you when we're weak? In a nighttime reminiscent mind When you'll admit that your heart does beat Things I knew you swept beneath the rug But I never thought one of them would be me
