When Skeletons Live

Coheed And Cambria · Year Of The Black Rainbow [2010]

She wheezes out her dying wish, Come closer...

One more moment, one more kiss

I love her, I give her all I can

Her body sinks, her heat released

The curtain swings, this time she leaves

I'll remember all she's done for me

But only I forgot that I'm not ready to let her go

As all time moves, you'll be riddled with doubt

You mourn to pull through, but love is dangerous



When skeletons live inside your closets, thick and thin,

You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs

The truth is relevant, but not for long

'Cause love is our downfall



I'm sorry this life cuts out everything

and leaves you to scrounge for nothing

There's no chance to try and mend,

what's been broken can't be bent

So the past remains the past until present

The cradle sways this black disguise

This chained coffin breathes our time's demise

All these shackles deceive just how long I've grieved



I made my move with no worry or doubt

Let them live as they do - my eternal reminder



When skeletons live inside your closets, thick and thin,

You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs

The truth is relevant, but not for long

'Cause love is our downfall



I'm sorry but the hurt's not going away

I'll bury all the past, everything in it's place



(Give us the monster!)



When skeletons live inside your closets, thick and thin,

You'll fear that no one will hear us sing our songs

The truth is relevant, but not for long

'Cause love is our downfall



When skeletons live

When skeletons live

When skeletons live inside your closet,

thick and thin,

You'll fear that no one will hear



Ooh, I'm sorry this life cut out everything

and everything leaves you to scrounge for nothing

How everything leaves you to scrounge for nothing

How everything leaves you to scrounge for nothing

(Give us the monster!)
