My Safe Were Secrets Lie
I feel it weighing down on me
 like drenched clothes in the rain.
 I hear it filling to the brim,
 screaming out my name.
 
 In my safe where secrets lie,
 I lock up all the pain,
 I bury all the memories and hide away the shame.
 
 I'm a bank where you can deposit,
 and you will never withdrawl.
 I'm the teller sworn to silence,
 no secrets can I tell at all.
 
 My life bacame like an open book,
 write anything you wish,
 anything you want,
 more secrets you can dish.
 
 In my safe where secrets lie
 I lock up all the pain,
 I bury all the memories and hide away the shame.
 
 I am your candy machine,
 insert a secret and get set free.
 I am a sacred book,
 bound in secrecy.
 
 My life doesn't matter,
 it's already layed out and planed.
 I am to be your journal,
 just to listen and understand.
 
 In my heart where secrets lie
 no matter if they're yours or mine,
 I must deal with the heavy burden, erase this torture from my mind.
 
 Because I am here to store
 all your lies, pain or dirty deeds.
 I did not ask for this,
 but this is the purpose you all made for me.
 
 So in my safe where secrets lie,
 I must lock up all the pain.
 I'm forced to bury all the memories
 and hide away the shame.
