Uncleshake - Rattlin' Bones Lyrics

I thought that I was doing fine
Never gave a second thought to what I left behind
But life's a viscous circle after all this time
It's finally coming back around
I buried my problems in my mind
In a dark secluded place no one could ever find
They festered for a while now they're back to life
And they've clawed their way from underground
They're back and they won't let me be
Reanimated corpses haunt my living dreams
Just some unexpected visitors but now it seems
They've settled for a lengthy stay
Now every time I close my eyes
I see a bunch of monsters come dancing by
They've waited for a while I don't think that I
Can convince them all to go away
Where did I go wrong
Never had a clue that I was that far gone
Now the piper wants a payment and it won't be long
'Til he comes to claim his dues
I lie awake most every night
And I think of situations that I could've handled right
Dwelling on the past until the morning light
Comes to tell me that it's through
Can't get no sleep at night they won't leave me alone
They interrupt me with the most unearthly tones
My closet skeletons are dancing up a storm
They're rattling bones
I close my eyes and then they start to wail and moan
I toss and turn but can't escape that awful drone
My closet skeletons have made my head their home
They're rattling bones
Bones manifest from the thinnest air
Whether I'm alone or if there's someone there
But there's only me to blame and so I guess it's fair
And I'm enduring what I'm going through
Every little slip every time I lied
Every time I laughed when I should've cried
I can't make them go away no matter what I've tried
So I'm learning how to just make do
I've got a closet full of skeletons
I thought I could escape them but they're back again
A list of losses to remind me I can never win
No matter how hard I try
I close my eyes but I still see
Their empty eyed sockets staring back at me
Each serves as a reminder of a memory
That I thought I left behind
Where did I go wrong
Never had a clue that I was that far gone
Now the piper wants a payment and it won't be long
'Til he comes to claim his dues
Mine's a cautionary tale
I never saw it coming such an epic fail
But when you hear your demons start to wail
You know it's much to late for you
Can't get no sleep at night they won't leave me alone
They interrupt me with the most unearthly tones
My closet skeletons are dancing up a storm
They're rattling bones
I close my eyes and then they start to wail and moan
I toss and turn but can't escape that awful drone
My closet skeletons have made my head their home
They're rattling bones
Bones manifest right before my eyes
That's why I keep them open 'til the morning light
Not sure if I'm ready to give up this fight
Forget about the things I know
Maybe it's so simple that I just can't see
Not as complicated as I thought it'd be
Maybe all the answers will reveal to me
If I remember how to just let go
And keep it sealed tight
Push it out of sight
Until it feels like
Everything is alright
Let your mind slide
Why put up a fight
Just let your soul die
Everything is alright
I close my eyes and everything is alright
