Bones
I’ve got cobwebs on my memories
And skeletons in my past
and enough woes and sorrows
a lifetimes worth, to last.
I’ve had tragedy and triumph
To last me all my life
A lover and some one-night stands
I’ve even had a wife
But hidden in that closet
Are skeletons from my past
They rattle when I think of them
And leave me quite aghast
CH
Memories are history
Even when they’re not true
All of your remembrances
Are just a point of view
They’re just a point of reference
And only true to you.
The bones are dancing in your closet
They’re knocking at the door
Asking to be let loose
Imprisoned nevermore
So open up that closet door
And let the sunshine in
Clear out all those cobwebs
Ask them where they’ve been
CH
Memories are history
Even when they’re not true
All of your remembrances
Are just a point of view
They’re just a point of reference
And only true to you.
Those skeletons are scary
If you let them be
So face them without fear
And set your mind run free
Open up that closet
Give the bones the key
Leave the door wide open
Let those bones run free
CH
Memories are history
Even when they’re not true
All of your remembrances
Are just a point of view
They’re just a point of reference
And only true to you.

This was beautiful. Love the flow and the meter, and the chorus really hits hard. Would love to hear a demo for this
