Secrets will not set you free

I know the shadows where you sleep

Under the weight of whispers deep

Every breath feels like a crime

Caught in the jaws of borrowed time

You think they’re safe behind closed doors

But they’re screaming

Scratching

Wanting more

Secrets will not set you free

They’re chains you forged

Not a key

Every lie’s a lock you turned

Every truth a bridge you burned

The mirror cracks

It shows your face

Fragments lost

No hiding place

You built a house of quiet sins

But silence roars

It always wins

You can bury them beneath the ground

But they grow

They echo

They surround

Secrets will not set you free

They’re anchors dragging through the sea

The tighter you hold

The more they bleed

They’ll break you down

They’ll plant their seed
