A Secret To the End

A secret to the end What is your dark secret? The one you hide from the world The one that haunts you at night Keeping skeletons in your closet out of sight A tight lip Your ship does not sink But the added burden Weights you down You want to confess But you are scared the world will judge you Such a judgmental world we live in So you hide like if you’re playing a game A game of hide and seek But you pray no one seeks out the truth You lie to the world You lie to yourself You lie to protect a secret The protector of the secret that is hidden Where no map can find Hidden well inside Till the day you die This secret will go down with the ship Because the truth you would not let slip
