Skeletons Lyrics


I can see myself in a broken reflection
This magnifies my imperfection
Beaten down, and I'm crawling, I'm craving affection
A fade out projection
Comfort in violence, suffer in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my Skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

We all have our skeletons

I have lost myself in my addictions
There's no faith in fear or self-destruction
Falling out, falling down
And I'm crawling to you to confess my intentions
Suffer the violence, comfort in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

We all have our skeletons

Brick by brick!

Skeletons!

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

Skeletons Song Chart
  • This song finds Jacoby Shaddix in a reflective mood as he implores:

    Brick by brick I've built this wall
    I shut you out to break the fall
    I will shed my sins
    I'll show you my skeletons


    "That comes from a place of secrets," Shaddix told Artist Direct . "You're only as sick as your secrets are. As I'm living this dark life, I tend to shut people out and build this wall between me and them by not reaching back out. If they call me, I don't call them back. If I'm up to no good, I start to isolate. I build this wall around myself. I find myself in this prison, which is not a healthy place to be. There's a comfort for me in isolation, but it's a dysfunction."

    "I have to realize we've all got our issues, skeletons, and secrets," he continued. "I always find freedom when I bare everything in myself and all of the darkness. If I get enough strength to break down this wall and be honest, I can be part of."

    "Stylistically, I wanted the song to have this snaking groove to it.," Shaddix added. "It's got a tortured vibe to it, but the chorus is so uplifting and epic. That's one of my favorites."
