When Skeletons Live - Coheed and Cambria

She wheezes out her dying wish

Come closer, one more moment, one more kiss

And 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

Oh, I’m sorry this life cuts out everything

And leaves you to scrounge for nothing

(Give us the Monstar!)

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 its place

(Give us the Monstar!)

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…

When skeletons live

When skeletons live

When skeletons live inside your closets, thick and thin

You’ll fear that no one will hear

Oh, I’m sorry this life cuts out everything

And leaves you to scrounge for nothing

(Give us the Monstar!)

Cuts out everything

And leaves you to scrounge for nothing

(Give us the Monstar!)

Cuts out everything

And leaves you to scrounge for nothing

(Give us the Monstar!)
