Running From Your Skeletons

Close your mind and concentrate 

Quite down and prostrate 

Keep your eyes forward and maintain your posture up straight 

Look outside inside the garden

Can you see the skeletal man

He's standing by the cornfield starring up at you

Tell me what he's thinking, lifeless face and not even blinking 

Hope he isn't hungry, he seems to like your face 

Can you see the lifeless glare

The way he stands, the way he stares

Does it bother you to know, he escaped your closet and jumped out the window

Now tell me what should we do, before your skeleton gets the best of you

Do not worry all too much, he locked the door before he got out

If the rest escape than you can pout

But for now just beware, the skeleton from the closet is now downstairs
