Those Dirty Little Secrets

Secrets alone, in the dark of the night,

trying to convince yourself its alright.

Glimpses of you that you don’t want to see,

still in denial, ‘that just can’t be me’.

It’s something that’s deep inside of us all.

Some can work through it but others will fall.

Things we have hidden so deep in our souls

no one wants to admit, they have holes, inside holes.

Dark secrets cause lies. And lies, they cause pain,

spinning out of control just a pawn in a game.

So hear this quick lesson and take it to heart

don’t keep those big secrets, alone in your dark.

For soon they’ll unravel and eat up your mind,

so go tell the truth girl it’s way past your time.
