I open my closet door
The one that's in my head
I take a peek inside
As I sit here on my bed.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
That little peek shows me much
I almost close the door
But something inside me makes me think
That I wanna see much more.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see my mother
Always wanting me to grow
I see her frown
She thought I didn't know.
I see my mother
Her dreams all got broken
Because I couldn't do anything right
So many words were left unspoken.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see my father
His stern face without a grin
How he'd always hit me
I guess I could never win.
I see my father
And when he wasn't around
I could cry all I wanted
Oh how he hated the sound.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see my brother
Always calling me names
Telling me I'm nothing
But Dad treated him the same.
I see my brother
Sometimes I thought he cared
But I guess somebody had to
My dad was hardly there.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see my first friend
Ten years older than me
I always hung around with him
So why couldn't I see?
I see my first friend
He cut me to the bone
When he decided to jump
And leave me all alone.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see that girl
The one who wanted a friend
At first I tried to avoid her
But it was pointless in the end.
I see that girl
With the funniest little laugh
Oh how bad these memories hurt
All these feelings from the past.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?
I see myself
Alone in a crowded room
But people always see one thing
I'm not just dark and gloom.
I see myself
My heart behind a wall
Go ahead and sit there
Sit and watch me fall.
Everyone has skeletons in their closets
But what if they came out
What if everyone knew
What your life's all about?

For The World To See
Her tears shimmer in the pale light
Her porslen skin smooth and bright
Huddled in the corner
Silenced by fright
Her life like hell
The fighting never seases
Can she escape before it gets physical
Her frail body can't handle much more
Pain consumes her skelatal figure
Chills and the cold creep up her boney spine
Hugging herself to keep the warmth from leaving
Shivers when the wind blows through the broken window
Staggers to her feet
Limps to the window
The broken glass reflects a picture
Looking back at her is the angel
The one in her dreams
The one that saves her
The angel that takes the soul but leaves the body for the world to see
Her hand reaches out
Skinny fingers places upon the glass
She can't help but sob
When's her angel coming
Soon enough
For she didn't know her fate
Outside she went
Pondered on about the angel
A shot fired
Bullet piercing her once beating heart
Her last breath placed a smile across her face
Fallen to the ground
She layed for the world to see
Blood soaked her shirt
What a messy sight
That angel appeared
A replica of her
Except the angel had full feathered wings
While hers were ripped and tattered
She tried to flap her broken wings
But struggled to get but a few inches off the ground
The angel so sweet and kind
Reached out a caring hand
She grasped it desperatly
In the air they flew
Took a tour before heading above
All for the world to see
