I draw on my walls at night.
They are full of pictures,
that haunt me of my secrets.

I still see the car speeding away.
My darling sister, they sell don't know,
that I hold your secret too.

I still see the smoke from my first puff.
Now I'm stuck, I can't get this feeling out,
unless I do it again.

I still see my baby sister.
Mom and dad, you think I don't remember, when I wish i could forget.

My walls are full of secrets,
of yours, and mine, and theirs.
Secrets never escape, so i draw them on my walls.
