Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Verse Don’t need a reason to be wild when Everybody’s dead inside They’re all too busy playing pretty With all the ugly they can’t hide Pre-Chorus We all want you now We all want you now We all want you now Chorus Skeleton skeleton in the closet Skeleton skeleton Wear it or cover it just be honest Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Verse 2 You aint no slice of heaven god sent All the adverts must’ve lied When no one cares about your story Oh tell me how will you survive Pre-Chorus We all want you now We all want you now We all want you now Chorus Skeleton skeleton in the closet Skeleton skeleton Wear it or cover it just be honest Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Skeleton skeleton, in the closet I want no skin, no blood, no smoke to cover up x4 Chorus Skeleton skeleton in the closet Skeleton skeleton Skeleton skeleton in the closet Skeleton skeleton Wear it or cover it just be honest Skeleton skeleton, in the closet Skeleton skeleton, in the closet

Verse I’m getting tired of guessing who you really are What ‘chu hiding behind bad memories and scars If you let me in your troubles I Can catch you when your kingdom crumbles down But you can’t dig deep if your head’s buried in the sand Pre-Chorus Maybe your camouflage Is never coming off And I’ll never have a clue Chorus I wish I knew the real you I wish you could’ve told me what you’ve been through I wish you knew the lows make the real highs But that’s ok just feed me all the good lies, the good lies The good lies x2 Verse 2 Had all the time in the world, to go find yourself And you can lose touch hanging on, to the edge of hell Hide in sight you’re terrified Of all the kinda demons you will find You can’t win the war without a little blood on your hands Chorus I wish I knew the real you I wish you could’ve told me what you’ve been through I wish you knew the lows make the real highs But that’s ok just feed me all the good lies, the good lies Maybe your camouflage Is never coming off And I’ll never have a clue Chorus x2 I wish I knew the real you I wish you could’ve told me what you’ve been through I wish you knew the lows make the real highs But that’s ok just feed me all the good lies, the good lies The good lies x4

Verse My mind’s been playing tricks on me I’m waking up from these dreams In a cold sweat, Screaming everything will work out But that’s not how it tends to be But that’s not how lit-er-ally Chorus I’m drowning it every night Don’t wanna live this dream no more Burn, pull, inhale and cry If that ain’t the good life Tell me what is Tell me what is Tell me what Verse 2 Subtle as a heart attack As pleasant as a car wreck Just when I thought it disappeared I saw it all so clear But You told me et-er-nity But all we gots insanity Chorus I’m drowning it every night Don’t wanna live this dream no more Burn, pull, inhale and cry If that ain’t the good life Tell me what is Tell me what is Tell me what Not a holy ghost, Just an average paranoid x2 Just an average, just an average, just an average paranoid x4 Chorus I’m drowning it every night Don’t wanna live this dream no more Burn, pull, inhale and cry If that ain’t the good life Tell me what is Tell me what is Tell me what Not a holy ghost, Just an average paranoid x2

Verse Excuse for my tardiness, I feel I’ve had enough I’m wearing down my feet now, just trying to keep up I’m sorry not to listen, but I haven't got the time For you and all these issues, I’m focusing on mine Chorus And I keep hearing All of these words ringing in my ear, Won’t you please tell me if I’m out here on my own Am I on my own And all this shouting filling my head with all the things I fear, Won’t you please tell me if I’m out here on my own Am I on my own But it’s never our problem, never our fault Always on the right side in our thoughts Always trust someone’s gonna do us right Now we’re doing it right, now we’re doing alright Verse 2 I don’t need more distractions, but there’s a fear of missing out Only here for a minute, I can’t let it drag me down Chorus x2 And I keep hearing All of these words ringing in my ear, Won’t you please tell me if I’m out here on my own Am I on my own And all this shouting filling my head with all the things I fear, Won’t you please tell me if I’m out here on my own Am I on my own But it’s never our problem, never our fault Always on the right side in our thoughts Always trust someone’s gonna do us right Now we’re doing it right, now we’re doing alright But it’s never our problem, never our fault Always on the right side in our thoughts Always trust someone’s gonna do us right Now we’re doing it right, now we’re doing alright Doing it right, doing it right, doing it right x2

What Are We Not Saying Now? 03:12

ot saying now, not saying now Not saying now, not saying now Verse Are we lost like, like a ship in the sea, Whatʼs the cost, cause Iʼd pay to believe Iʼm hungry for answers, thirsty for truth Tell me whatʼs hiding in you Pre-chorus Iʼll break the chains for you Cause Iʼve got nothing to lose Long long time ago We used to talk And we used to know Chorus What are we not saying now, not saying now What are we not saying now, not saying now Verse 2 Are we hopeless, a car in a wreck Was It worth it, cause Iʼd hate to forget Locking my mind in a box full of lights No one to talk to but everyone to fight Pre-chorus Iʼll break the chains for you Cause Iʼve got nothing to lose Long long time ago We used to talk And we used to know Chorus What are we not saying now, not saying now What are we not saying now, not saying now Are we lost, are we hopeless Let it out, for a moment What are we not saying now, not saying now Not saying now, not saying now Bridge x2 When Iʼm looking back on my youth Will the history books tell the truth Will we block out what we chose If no one can win then no one can lose Chorus Are we lost, are we hopeless Let it out, for a moment What are we not saying now, not saying now Not saying now, not saying now Not saying now, not saying now Not saying now, not saying now

Beat Up Car 03:07

Verse God called but I missed it Guess I wasn’t really listening Got caught up in my headset Sitting high on this park bench and everybody's on the run But there's nothing going on But there's nothing going on Chorus Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car Rather wave goodbye than be torn apart When the wheels come falling off Take me right down to the rocks Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car Guess I’d rather die, if I even get that far Verse 2 A lost cause on the swingset Back and forth but I’m over it Still searching for a mindset It’s taking too long to forget and everybody's on the run But there's nothing going on But there's nothing going on Chorus Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car Rather wave goodbye than be torn apart When the wheels come falling off Take me right down to the rocks Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car Outro If I ever even get that far x3 When the wheels come falling off, Take me right down to the rocks x2 Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car x4 When the wheels come falling off, Take me right down to the rocks x3 If I ever even get that far x4 Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car

about

Kadeema are a duo who write rock songs with sarcasm and wit, capturing day-to-day malaise and finding empowerment in expressing their frustrations on their debut EP, the tongue-in-cheek Napoleon Tornapart, set for release in 2020.

Vocalist Jimmy Chauveau and guitarist Tal Vaisman developed their songwriting partnership during their time as members of Ascot Royals, whose dissolution led to the two forging a path onwards as Kadeema (translating to 'forward' in Hebrew).

Working with drummer and producer Isaac Carpenter (AWOLNATION, Duff McKagan, Adam Lambert), Kadeema embraced their newfound freedom, translating stories of personal and professional imprisonment into cathartic assertions of their ability to rebuild and live honestly.

Featuring the effortlessly catchy lead single, "Gotta Get It," Napoleon Tornapart cements the duo's knack for juxtaposing anthemic choruses with stark lyrical observations, combining grunge with songs that venture into dancier, dreamy territory.
