Skeletons in the Closet


It's that time of year again 

When ghouls come out to play 

Where zombies and witches converse in a new civilized way

But your skeletons in the closet 

They'll stay there another year 

Your pain, heartbreak, anger too

They'll stay far away from you

Your costume hiding your inner gloom

This year on Halloween 

 

Show us all your costume 

Another layer of hiding 

From the skeltons in the closet 

Kicking, screaming, biting 

They fight to get out

And when they do

They'll make a crying mess of you 

All your fears they'll all come true 

This year on Halloween
