Skeleton Key

[Intro]
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Payment in the form of looking good
For your monthly subscription to womanhood
In pounds you've shed, strangers you've given head
Article tips you've read
How to please your man in bed
How to find your perfect shade of red
How to get him out of your head when he finds somebody better than you'll ever be
It never means anything

[Pre-Chorus]
Living on skull island, trapped in a ribcage
Bone idol, hoping for a clean break
Wish there was a key for these bones for this home for these bones for this home for these bones
I wish there was a key for these bones for this home for these bones

[Verse 2]
This vessel is so stressful
The maintenance is heavy and the mileage immeasurable
I've seen others with the same model
Struggling to cope, everybody with the opposite
Can't wait to have a go
I would give you mine but it's all I've got
And if I try to leave it then I'll be forever gone
I wish there was a key for this home for these bones for this home
I wish there was a key for this home for these bones for this home

[Chorus]
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Oh, the writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Melancholy me

[Verse 3]
I've got a reason for this treason against myself
It ain't easy when you're treated according to your shell
Always been a believer that the body is a glove
But the hand is who I really am, the soul you can't touch
Wise words from my mother

[Pre-Chorus]
Living on skull island, trapped in a ribcage
Bone idol, hoping for a clean break
Wish there was a key for these bones for this home for these bones for this home for these bones
I wish there was a key for these bones for this home for these bones

[Chorus]
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Melancholy me

[Bridge]
I can't live in this world, I can't live with myself
Is there another land I can go to?
Any other land will do
Insecurity feeds wealth
Can't live with this world, can't live with myself
I can't live in this world, I can't live with myself
Is there another land I can go to?
Any other land will do
Away from industries that breathe wealth
But saying you need help to live in yourself

[Chorus]
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
I've been looking for a skeleton key
Melancholy me
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Oh, the writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Melancholy me
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Oh, the writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
Melancholy me
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror, oh
The writing's not on the wall, it's on the mirror
