Skeletons

can we rattle the skeletons
just one more time
will you grant me this
to ease my mind

open up the grave
let the laying bones talk
will you stick around
or will you finally walk

will I get closure
or will it lay me bare
when the truth comes to light
and I see what's not there

let me rattle the skeletons
one more time
I think you owe me that
God knows what I'll find
