Description
Secrets, secretsdeep and dark
all locked away
in the abyss of my heart
all I feel are scalding tears
and all I smell is salt
my voice is choked now
can I cry on your shoulder?
Lies, lies
of course I'm fine
nothing is ever wrong
but where do I go
and who do I turn to now
that all your secrets
reside in my heart?
Rain, rain
falling hard
reflecting what's under the mask
showing what I feel deep down
but am unable to reveal
dark and cloudy
storms with rain
a lightning bolt appears
and as I watch it come toward me
to strike me down
all I feel is fear
words, words
have to watch what I say
stay away from that topic
swtich them around
make a smile a frown
and keep everyone happy
black, black
like that place in my heart
that is always broken
but now the web we've sewn
is nothing but a ball
nothing but our hopes and lies
that keep us afloat
but when the ship goes down
do we save ourselves or do we all drown?
Silent, silent
keep my mouth shut
say a word and betray someone
stay quiet and betray another
but speak out and break their heart
and possibly their spirit too
just stay back and don't say a word
I know nothing I swear
lost, lost
where do I go now?
Who do I give your secret to?
Or should I keep it all for myself?
Burning and red
it's late now
so tired but no sleep comes
for I'm dreading school tomorrow...
