Skeletons Lyrics

I can see myself in a broken reflection
(and I’m not ok)
It just magnifies my imperfections
(and I’m not ok)

Beaten down and I'm crawling, I'm craving
Affection, afraid of rejection
Comfort in violence - Suffer in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by Brick I 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 our 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
(and I’m not ok)
There's no faith in fear or self destruction
(and I’m not ok)

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 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 our stones
Flesh and blood and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons
We all have our skeletons

I can see myself in a broken reflection
(and I’m not ok)
It just magnifies my imperfections
(and I’m not ok)
 
Beaten down and I'm crawling, I'm craving
Affection, afraid of rejection
Comfort in violence - Suffer in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?
 
Brick by Brick I 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 our 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
(and I’m not ok)
There's no faith in fear or self destruction
(and I’m not ok)
 
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 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 our stones
Flesh and blood and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons
We all have our skeletons

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
