Black road of death
Finding skeletons 
In your closet...

   Do you have skeletons in your closet
      I have a few in mine

   They jingle and jangle ~ remind me
      of my true composite...

An incessant inebriated insomniac 
Incarcerated by her own irritable thoughts 
Serrated skeletons in the closet 
Are the only friends she's got...

No skeletons in my closet

No consequences to fear

No need to weep or lose more sleep

For my conscience now is clear

No petty indiscretions

No wasted time, just livin'

No words to say or hell to pay

For all my sins forgiven

I’m friends with the skeletons in the closet,
Knives, razors and all sharp instruments are my best friends.
Poison; they’re my parents,
Guns are my cousins.
Water save me i'm drowning,
fire help me i'm burning; they’re my aunties and uncles.
And me…
My name is Suicidal....

We wear our many masks for the world to see
Alone is when we can truly be …..

Behind our closed doors
Our secrets are safe
Hidden and buried
To take to the grave

Skeletons in the closet
Ghosts of yesteryear
Stowed away, protected 
All guarded right here

Leaving from ‘behind closed doors’
Our masks on time after time
Assured in knowing our secrets
Are securely left behind .…....

Skeletons in my closet that threaten to break out,
And I know when I see them I'll be too scared to shout.
Memories so painful I keep them locked away,
And when they show their teeth I can't help but be afraid.
A darkness so deep I try to steer clear,
But when I step in oh the voices I hear.
Voices so loud they drown themselves out,
And I know once I listen I'll be too gone to shout.

All alone in the dark 
I hear ghastly screaming 
Unaware if it’s in here 
I pray I’m only dreaming 

Fumbling with the light 
I quickly look to see 
The skeletons in my closet 
Are staring back at me 

I can hear their pain 
A faint hollow sound 
Affraid they’ll never fade 
And decide to stay around 

Back to haunt my life 
I can’t escape their hate 
Another sleepless night 
Spent dwelling on my fate...

Your attitude
Is overwhelming
What's your problem?
Can you even tell me?

You act like
You're better than everyone else
Chances are
You don't even know yourself

The skeletons in your closet
Could fill up a cometary
And you act like you're above me?
That's what's really scary

Take a look in the mirror
And hop off your self-imposed throne
If you don't change your attitude
You will die bitter and alone...

How can one consider the truth, true?
When can one say what's false is false?
What if the truth is what's false and what's false is what's true?
Believe me, I am saying of the truth because I'm lying.
But am I really lying when all I speak of is the truth?
Now tell me, who is really lying and who is speaking of the truth,
The girl with skeletons in her closet or the boy who cried wolf?
Who is the liar, is it me or is it you?...

Sun kissed roses and moon cast shadows,
this garden holds dark beauty.
Shifting eyes are ever watchful,
seeking me out with devilish glee.
Haunted castle looming above,
with it's banshee filled towers.
Crimson tears and scarlet pain,
these are the colors of my world.
And still I must go on,
unearthing buried secrets.
Dancing down the darkened halls,
the sprites of winter surround me.
Frozen emotion stills my heart,
and now I join the skeletons in the closet....

I just want you to know
That I don’t care what you’ve done before
We’ve all got skeletons in our closet
But you don’t have to hide it
You can tell me all your secrets, I’ll tell you mine
You can trust me, all it takes is time

I’m gonna love you no matter what
No one’s made it through life uncut
Listen up, I’m gonna give you my heart
I trust that you’ll protect it like valuable art
I just want you to know
That I don’t care what you’ve done before...
