Secrets, out the deep dark blue
The voices outside my head seep through
As I unwillingly break a dozen promises
Unaware of the captives that it’s held over time
Feels like walking in air and swimming in ice
The cycle continues until a friend says goodbye
This is a typical approach to a whisper, or a candy coated lie
Listen closely because I need your attention
But I’ll be wise so I have no names left to mention
We all have them like a mercenary does
A bulletproof vest on to protect himself
From government officials, income tax and debts
It’s what brought a tear to the eyes of an adopted son
When his mother swore on Virgin Mary that she was secretly a nun
The truth behind a man being forced to steal a bun from the bakery
It’s what got Adam bullied for being gay,
After it spilled out from his best friend’s buccal cavity yesterday
The existence of MI7, Area 51, and democracy
The answer to why sometimes confessions aren’t holy
Oh, and from another point of view
A secret is a hole in the membrane that blurs truth
A scratch on the mask people put on to fit in since birth
Hiding mistakes, scars and unknown aliases
The shortcuts in life and hidden pathways
The keys that we pass on in hopes of leaving behind a legacy
You can’t deny the fact that we all disguise
Our dirty little secrets and the location of our treasures
The names of our high school crushes, and struggles through peer pressure
Buried beneath the second degree of desperate measures
