[Intro — keys jingling, a lone plucked cello riff, swirling guitar joins] [Verse 1 — low, dreamy, sparse] Hundred doors along the hallway Every one is locked up tight Whispers stacked inside the closets Letters hiding from the light Key ring heavy as an anchor Pulling down on every word I've been keeping all the quiet Scared of being heard [Chorus — heavy guitars and cellos crash in] Skeleton key (skeleton key) Open every door in me Skeleton key (skeleton key) Let the hidden things go free (Ooh, skeleton key) [Verse 2 — low, dreamy, sparse] Shadows living in the attic Old regrets beneath the stairs Every mirror turned to face the wall So nobody sees what's there But you walked in like the morning Didn't knock, you just came in Every lock I swore would hold forever Started opening again [Chorus — heavy] Skeleton key (skeleton key) Open every door in me Skeleton key (skeleton key) Let the hidden things go free (Ooh, skeleton key) [Bridge — plucked cello alone, sludgy guitar solo, then everything builds] Click (Click) Turn (Turn) Every window open wide (Ooh — falsetto rising over the cellos and guitars) [Final Chorus — fullest moment] Skeleton key (skeleton key) Open every door in me Skeleton key (skeleton key) Let the hidden things go free (Ooh, skeleton key) [Outro — doors creaking open one by one, wind, birdsong, one last cello note] (Spoken, softly) Come on in.
