I’ve been feeling down
And I’ve been passing out
Hand scripted writings from the wall
I’ve been losing sleep
I find it hard to eat
When emotion fills my lungs
The water coming down
And I can feel the echoes on their way
Hold on tight for the sound wave
To rock me back and forth
And I need a hand to hold onto
But I’m afraid I’d be losing you
Tell me your secrets
That’s where we can start
Conversation opens up
With wounds that left scars
Nothing too deep, nothing too hard
But tell me your secrets
It’s a good place to start
Listen I’m self-conscious
I don’t give out much
I stir up the nonsense
So it feels like I’m mixing it up
But I’m stuck in a cycle
A counter clockwise counter attack
Seeps into my vessels
And I’m thrown right back
And these days I feel defenseless
But I need to know I’m not the only one with messy senses
Tell me your secrets
That’s where we can start
Conversation opens up
With wounds that left scars
Nothing too deep, nothing too hard
But tell me your secrets
It’s a good place to start
Give me something back
So I know that I’m not pulling you under
Show me you won’t crack under the weight
'Cause I’m afraid
Oh so afraid
Tell me your secrets
That’s where we can start
Conversation opens up
With wounds that left scars
Nothing too deep, nothing too hard
But tell me your secrets
It’s a good place to start
