Lyrics

Skeleton closets beside my bed
Fade to yellow in the sun
Coiled wire keeps it bound
The pages of memories of who I used to be
Oh, the stacks of lines have become lies
I blame it on the passing of time
I don't dare read them anymore
Else I feel like a fraud
A man who's given up
Well, I lie in bed, I stare at them
I wonder where all the passion's gone
I want to destroy them all
Paper waiting to combust
Burn all the blurry ink and start again
Failed trust, cryptic hope poetry
Fades to ashes, fades to dust
Forgotten lore, unrequitted love
Deep dark secret, treasure maps
Oh, black magic, fiery lust
Crumbling ashes, smoky dust
Tear stained pages of blurry ink
Daily records I could not think
Oh, the impotent evenings, the drunken excuses
The fits of anger, the insecure hours
The lack of knowledge, the virgin skin
The love of power, the search for acceptance
The lack of protection, the loss of direction
The need for injection, the misguided angels
The musical beds, a little attention
The ignorant prophed, the desperate kisses
I reached out for you, just for the night
Skeleton closets beside my bed
Fade to yellow in the sun
I reached out for you, just for the night
Oh, yeah
So what do I do
With these memories of you that I knew?
