The secrets you hide
A wicked vice
A sharpened knife
A fire in the dark
Hidden by lies

A ghostly song
Haunts the night
Unable to forget
Unable to change
Weakened by the day

How to grow
I don't know
The secrets they build
A fortress of sorrow
A moat of lies

Deep in the center
The heart cries
Weeping and sobbing
Longing to stop
To go back
Before the fire took hold

Yet the tale goes on
A weed reaching to the sun
The world will know
The fruits bitter poison
A secret only lasts
For the dead and the passed
