Once was lost
but now I'm found.

Better lost
than in sight.

For it's better unseen
and easier that way.

Wouldn't want exposed
the secrets I keep.

It's best left unsaid
the things I have done.

My mouth stays closed;
the things I hide.

Never showing,
never to speak!

Words of wrong
I fear they might become.

Can't tell what I keep inside;
too strong to give away.

Mustn't let you in,
nor let it go.

The secrets in me
are worth the pain I feel.

I've been hiding for so long
but I still never let it out of reach.

It exists in my mind,
crying in my soul.

Concealed behind my doubts,
sheltered by my fears...

These secrets I dare not tell
for what they reveal can ruin everything.

Try as I might,
the dark brings no light.

And there's no up to this down
so I have to settle inside this storm.

I let the secrets overtake me
rather then be freed.

They're caged inside
to prevent them from doing bad.

I hold them in tight,
doing what feels right.

The secrets must stay
when everything else goes.

To the grave is the end
and only then will I speak.
