lyrics

Amber light – is shining through – a hole in the blinds
Last night – was like a noose – that slowly unwinds
Floorboards – keep creaking – as I pace the room
Dead weight – I been dragging – like a body exhumed

I got me a skeleton key
No need for apology
It’s time to liberate the truth
Forgive mistakes of my youth

Caffeine – and cigarettes – a balanced routine
This bliss – unravels – like the hole in my jeans
Hindsight – corners me – within these four walls
Should I – assume the worst – for times I can’t recall

I got me a skeleton key
No need for apology
It’s time to liberate the truth
Forgive mistakes of my youth...

But forgiveness ain’t so easy
Life has never been so peachy, no
Clenched fists since an early age
Broken-fingers made it hard to turn the page
...and I felt the pain

The apprehension eats at me
Like a worm that feeds on serenity
...and I’ve had enough

Self doubt stirs the flames of rage
Forging the lock that binds this mental cage
...and I found the key

This is my forward escape

I got me a skeleton key
I got me a skeleton key
I got me a skeleton key
Unlocking all doors in my way!
Bust out!

Long over-due to make my move
Don’t really care if you approve
Slide into the groove

Com’on baby – rock with me!
Slide into the groove

I quit sharing my secrets with Satan
Since then my hands stopped shakin’
This beat keeps the heart from achin’
Slide into the groove
