You said
Keep it quiet
Fold it in the corner of your mind
But it bleeds through the drywall
Leaves a stain we never underline
Every closed door
Has an eye in the keyhole
Every soft word
Has teeth in the echo
Secrets in the dark
Crawl across the ceiling
Scratch at every mark
That we tried to hide
Shadows on your heart
Know the shape of mine
Secrets in the dark
Never stay inside
Your smile
So careful
Pulled tight like a curtain on a stage
But I see the handwriting
Shaking in the margins of the page
Every white lie
Leaves a fingerprint burning
Every still night
Sets the room turning
Secrets in the dark
Crawl across the ceiling
Scratch at every mark
That we tried to hide
Shadows on your heart
Know the shape of mine
Secrets in the dark
Never stay inside
Whisper it low
I’ll stitch it into my throat
Promise I won’t
But the words still glow
Blacklight truth
On your porcelain face
We’re wrapped in the bruise
Of the things we never say
Secrets in the dark
Crawl across the ceiling
Scratch at every mark
That we tried to hide
Shadows on your heart
Know the shape of mine
Secrets in the dark
Secrets in the dark
Never stay inside
