Secrets are like poison
They kill you little by little
As you keep them locked inside
Until you're lying, glassy-eyed
Speaking is like medicine
It heals you little by little
As you break up the virus hid inside
And open other's blinded eyes
Truth is like fire
It destroys all in instants
To open up new life
With tears in the eyes
Lies are like water
They pull you under, bit by bit
But push the pain aside
By closing aching eyes
Silent we are dying
Speaking we are killing
Honest we are burning
Lying we are drowning
