Secret

Bottled up secrets
Lies, kept inside
Living and breathing
But I've already died

All of the tension
Putting cracks in my skin
Trying to hide it
But the veil is too thin

Caught in the spiral
My own web of lies
Who would've thought
I'd be my own demise

These secrets are ghastly
And plague all my dreams
They remind me the world
Isn't always what it seems

With each step they follow
With each breath they
speak
And I'll never, not ever,
Be out of their reach

I wish I could tell you,
What I need to confess
It's weight is too heavy
I need it off of my chest

I just need to speak it
Why I hide, I'm not sure.
But if I did tell you...
It wouldn't be secret anymore.
