I wanted this skeleton to go away
Back to the closet, back in the dark
I went to wrap it in my arms
And it crumbled into ashes

The ashes clung to the walls,
Covered the floors and bookshelves
It caked my body head to toe
I just want this skeleton to go

There is no rug to sweep it under
I wet the ashes with water
And they turn into glue
Sticking to me and to this room

This skeleton is not just going to go
Back to the closet, back to the dark
It's out for good
It's made it's mark
