Lyrics:
Put on my shoes and see through my eyes
It's hard to judge what you can't visualise
As night falls and shadows creep, the air is silent on my street
Lying in my bed, questions in my head and it's all so quiet, quiet...
------------------
Then skeletons come out to play when my mind wonders and memories fade
Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting my last coins on the game
So i'll close that door, I'll seal the floors
and they'll die away (x6)
------------------
Like a building I will fall to the ground then what am I with only foundations?
As night falls and shadows creep, the air is silent on my street
Lying in my bed, questions in my head and it's all so quiet, quiet...
------------------
Then skeletons come out to play when my mind wonders and memories fade
Telling me I'll never win as I'm betting my last coins on the game
So i'll close that door, I'll seal the floors
and they'll die away (x6)
------------------
Skeletons, remind me, where I have been
Skeletons, remind me, what could have been
So i'll close that door, I'll seal the floors
------------------
Then skeletons come out to play when my mind wonders and memories fade
