[Chorus]

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, get the broom

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, yo


[Verse 1]

All these skeletons they pile in my closet like articles

Of clothing that don't fit me anymore that I can't part with

So I guess I'll have to live with them until the day my vision's

In a state that's far from livable and I can just forget, you know

For now, I'm living with some bones on my bed

'Cause mistakes that I've made are like colognes on my flesh

Smell it when I walk by, this home for regret

I pretend is a body, is so close to death

By asphyxiation, since I'm choking on my words

But if you leave me in the streets I'll be floating to the curb

Hopelessly absurd in the vocals that I slur

Through the copious occurrences of hopelessness I learn from

Every mistake is a lesson to me

So I feel like failure is an infectious disease

And these bones on my back only less than a tease

Of success that I see when these skeletons flee

I got...


[Chorus]

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, get the broom

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, yo, yo


[Verse 2]

But, lately, I wouldn't say it's unbearable

I wouldn't say that it was terrible

I think I found myself a formula and now it's taken care of

So my closet space is safe for every memory I barely know is mine

So when times come I'm barely close to fine

I can open up the door and expect scary scenes of fright

When the hinges creak and bend at least I'll find my piece of mind

'Cause it's the only thing I won't leave behind, switch up

Everyone I see is just so damn interesting

Everyone I see is just so damn cool

Following the trends they see from friends and even enemies

I swear to God I see these doppelgängers at my school

So I might bury skeletons inside of my irrelevance

And live my life in fear that I have sub-par intelligence

But at least these raps speak and show my state of mind

In a totally original way that's mine, right?


[Chorus]

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, get the broom

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, yo, yo

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, get the broom

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Lot of skeletons I keep in my room

Lot of skeletons I lock in my closet

Sweep 'em up, sweep 'em up, yo, yo
