"Secrets"

I guess you've still got your secrets
I kept mine too
I sent you a letter but I guess
you read straight through

so here's the final paragraph
and if you know it sing along
don't follow the bouncing red ball
as it's trying to move along

Secrets

by Factor T

Dark & complex
What comes to my mind
all at once yet not at all
it stays with me through days
and through years
the years of my youth are gone yet remain
I stay partially child with a thin man-veneer
the polish wears through
often the varnish cracks away
yet the lies beneath
and what lies throughout
the secrets inside me you'll never find out.

Secrets

(verse 1)
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
I'm not quite sure where to begin.
It's been so long since my last confession.
I'm not a bad man, of that I'm sure.
Just dealt a bad hand and I play it poor.
Now all I seek is the peace of my salvation.

(chorus)
I have these secrets
buried deep down in the cold
and the darkness of my soul
weighing on me.
I have these secrets
and these sins with you I share.
There are so many here that cause us our despair.
[Set me free. Set me free.]

(verse 2)
I was a soldier in a distant land
killing strangers with my righteous hand
fighting under the starcrosscrescent.
[under heaven]
Hot desert wind blew her to my side --
A beauty I mistook for Satan's bride.
How could she act so innocent?

(bridge)
As I struck her down, I fell upon the ground
No passion left in me. I'd wander endlessly,
No way to go back home. Since then, I've always known...

(chorus)
I'd have these secrets ...

"Secrets"

Nice motel
3 am
Somewhere outside of Hollywood
Tiny soap
Small shampoo
I'd be sleeping if I could

She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
All the things she had to say
(x2)

Shirts are hung
Clothes are pressed
Mass produced paintings overhead
I could see her
If I drove an hour
But I'm just lying here instead

She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
All the things she had to say
(x2)

Oh darling, please don't make me cry
Oh darling, please don't push away
Oh darling, I am waiting here
For the words you just won't say
Please tell me what you have inside
I promise I won't run away
Oh darling, I am waiting here
I am lying here

Room service
The morning news
7:30 flight
Parking lots
A boarding pass
Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight

She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
All the things she had to say
(x3)
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
She didn't, she didn't want to tell me
So I am lying here
