Bones

There's a skeleton in your closet 

You keep it hidden 

But I know it's there

Sandy white

Shines in the night

Who was she

And how did she get there?

Did she hold love in her eyes

Did she wear a flower in her hair?

Who was she

And how did she come to be

Was she me?

And now the lines have blurred

Foolish to take you at your word

Look in the mirror

The all-knowing seer

White shines back and now I see

The skeleton in your closet - Is me

She is me

And I am she
