Forbidden Secrets

Hiding from reality Dodging the factuality That not speaking up doesn't make the situation go away The mind knows well what the lips won't say I'm running from the truth Forbidden secrets, Forbidden Fruit My past has become a wound that I can't mend Just like I rember that time when... Shhhsh. I'm not supposed to tell, no one is supposed to know What goes on in the dark is never supposed to show But it keeps playing over and over in my mind like a broken videotape Everytime I press fast forward, someone else presses replay I'm trying to hide from the truth Forbidden secrets, Forbidden fruit I don't chase the past the past chases me I don't hold it in my grasp It holds on to me And it eats away at the very thing that my lips won't say The images, the actions, the words, the smell The faint shalolow voice whispering don't tell And I don't tell Because I'm hiding from reality Dodging the factuality That not speaking up doesn't make the situation go away The mind knows well what the lips won't say And that's forbidden secrets -Lyric-
