time ticks
the bells chime
and the world blurs
the words melt your cold eyes
opens up your heart
exposes the dark corner you hide in
pack your bags and move with the shadow as it flees
why run, why hide beneath your bed
why pay for secrets to be kept unsaid
mouths move and eyes roam
words are fire
they spread, they kill, they live within our hearts
it is their home
they share with hate, with love, with despair
sercrets are expensive and yet we all hold them
but once exposed to air
they can spread, they can burn
