Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Closet full of bones
Just don't try to put 'em back together
(Try to put 'em back together)
And I'll just bite my tongue
So I'll wear it like a scarlet letter
(Wear it like a scarlet letter)
[Verse 2]
Shh, quiet in the court for the courtship
Marriage of the dork and the gorgeous
Took her from the king of the corpses
He reviled, jumped the wall of the fort with the horses
This is foretold
Bojangles was tapping in morse code
At least to the mad man genius
Tap top secrets and more gold
From the guts of the mother
Can but she'll move her undercover
Withe a three-thousand dollar son
She just wanna lover and somebody else to come and try and drug her
Take off the grill, she done
Pill celebrating, we won
In the system of the of the women, never knew he had it in him
This condition when the world that they make him become
Cocaine and new high-tech ways, smuggle whole things
From the control range that make radio heads with gold brains
Depart '84 Jags on gold chains
Developing **** from a whole name
God is great
But it's snakes on my soul plane
[Verse 3]
Closet full of bones
Just don't try to put 'em back together
(Try to put 'em back together)
And I'll just bite my tongue
So I'll wear it like a scarlet letter
(Wear it like a scarlet letter)
[Verse 4]
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin) that's just my anatomy
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin)
[Verse 5]
Limo to the limit, fill it to the brim, get in it
You can't get it
If you gotta ask
In that case, I want two masks
Bottom class, dollar cast
Popping tags, dropping trash in shopping bags
Till Hakeem take our pocket cash
Write it in lights, Molly in the body of Christ
Drop me to the lobby from heights
Then over the threshold to redeem the doorway
Fourteen broads like the king of Norway
Fourteen broads having dreams of foreplay
Fourteen-armed Shiva
Viva la coup
If the government get it, I'm a fool
[Verse 6]
Closet full of bones
Just don't try to put 'em back together
(Try to put 'em back together)
And I'll just bite my tongue
So I'll wear it like a scarlet letter
(Wear it like a scarlet letter)
[Verse 7]
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin) that's just my anatomy
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin)
[Verse 8]
Sanskrit dance on the page of the dead book
Don't leave the restroom with the left foot
Flags of Tibet, to bet, to bed, to death, to flesh
Release the leash on the fast car
Feet on the keys, fall asleep in the Jaguar
The tip of thy sword is white
Am I night?
Am I black?
Am I light?
Have I been this?
Realize my begin when I find where my end is
Oedipus wrecks
Motherfucker, this better than sex
Material potion the love of my martyr
Currency soaked in the blood of my father
Sky burial
Let the wind carry you, Father
Then I could
An anatomy not of me knotting me to it
Nodding me to it
Eyes of the eye and others
Watching me do it
Adapt in each rubric
Kubrick in plot and tone
Lots of bones
Skulls to the top two tone
To skim through it is just skin to it
You're so thin, you see the sins through it
[Verse 9]
Closet full of bones
Just don't try to put 'em back together
(Try to put 'em back together)
And I'll just bite my tongue
So I'll wear it like a scarlet letter
(Wear it like a scarlet letter)
[Verse 10]
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin) that's just my anatomy
Anatomy (Skin) will be the death of me
Anatomy (Skin)
