Secrets Make Lonely

I fear it’s going to eat me alive
A thousand teeth glisten in the night
With heavy conscience and lead-lined soles
My weary head burns
I’m tired of it all

You can hear a pin drop in my heart
Echoes of memories gone lost, but you heard nothing

Best believe me when I say
I only want what’s mine to take
Time has passed and I will no longer wait
I’ll leave the shadows and get into the shade

It follows me around
Forces me further down

A prison without walls
A cage without bars
Might not seem trapped at all
But when light becomes sparse
It starts seeping in through every crack
Out come the teeth as my heart refracts
