"skeletons" lyrics

"skeletons"

Stressed out
Feeling lost and I don't know what to do now
What I chose ain't really gonna work out
Fallin' six feet underneath the floor now
Think I'm gonna tap out (Ooh-ahh, Ooh-ahh)

Feel bad, go to bed
Wake up even worse yea
So sad, in my head
Feeling like a curse
I need medicine, medicine, medicine

All my skeletons out for the taking (Ooh-ahh)
Yea, I don't even know if I'ma make it
I'm afraid of myself and I hate it
All my skeletons out for the taking
Somebody take 'em

I wanna run away, the day to day
Is taking its toll on me
And I'm tearing at the seams
Throw it all away
Give a fuck about what they say
I gotta disagree
This ain't really fun for me

Feel bad, go to bed
Wake up even worse yea
So sad, in my head
Feeling like a curse
I need medicine, medicine, medicine

All my skeletons out for the taking (Ooh-ahh)
Yea, I don't even know if I'ma make it
I'm afraid of myself and I hate it
All my skeletons out for the taking
Somebody take 'em

Keshi told about this song, "'skeletons' is melodramatic in a grown-up sort of way. A lot of people my age are trying to figure out how to live life on their own after graduating college, getting jobs, and moving out. The transition sucks. You realize the real world isn't what you thought. When you hear me, I want you to realize it's okay to be vulnerable. All of my skeletons are out for the taking, so don't be ashamed of yours. I'm being as real as I can be. The closer it is to my heart, the closer it is to everyone else's hearts."
