Secrets

First light

I sleep
With my secrets at night
We don't speak
About the voices inside

They hold me tight
And cover my eyes
They turn off the light
And tell me lies

They cover my ears
And put me away
They show me my fears
They don't let me say

"Tonight
I'd rather confide
I don't want to hide
From the voices inside"

At night
When I start to cry
They turn off the lights
And watch me die

Every night
There's a storm
They always fight
Over who keeps me warm

I sleep
With my secrets at night
We don't speak
About the voices inside

They scare me
They chill my bones
They make me scream
They have no souls

Only they
Can be so mean
I wish they didn't say
What I hear in my dreams

When I can't see
Before I go away
They tell me
What they always say

"Just shut up
We don't want to know
You little slut
With nowhere to go"

I cry
When they play this game
But I'll role the dice
Again and again...

I sleep
With my secrets at night
We don't speak
About the voices inside.
