Writing On The Wall
Unveiling Secrets: Revelations in the Shadows
Lyrics
I shared a secret
I confided in someone
One that you could never keep
It was a secret that you couldn't keep
And how you just breathe it
You shared this secret with others casually
To everyone that you ever meet
Revealing it to everyone you meet
And when I heard it
I learned about it indirectly
Second hand, so to speak
Through gossip or hearsay
I saw that I was someone else
I realized I had changed in the process
And you became just someone else
You also transformed into someone else
And all of the stories
All the stories you tell
How they just flow right out of your mouth
They effortlessly come out of your mouth
Now all of their glory
Despite their glory, it's insufficient
Was not enough to go around
To satisfy everyone
If they're all hungry
If they are all eager to hear
Yeah, they're only mouths to feed
They are just mouths to be fed
And you can all say no
You can refuse, but I couldn't
No, I could never say no
I couldn't say no
But now the writing's on our walls
Now the consequences are evident
As the curtains take their call
As the situation unfolds
And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
We navigate the uncertainties
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky
Between truth and lies, God and sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
Between a widow and a bride, between you and me
So bury your weakness
Hide your vulnerabilities
And chew the marrow from the bone
Survive by extracting the essential
Keep yourself a secret
Keep your true self hidden
From all of those who've always known
From those who always knew you
It's been revealing
Revelations have occurred
Ignore your skin as it peels away
Ignore the shedding of your outer layer
It's been revealing
Your true self is now exposed
What you could never begin to explain
It reveals what you can't explain
There's the writing on our walls
The consequences are now evident
As the curtains take their call
As events unfold
And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
We navigate uncertainties
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky
Between truth and lies, God and sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
Between a widow and a bride, between you and me
I won't let it happen again
A commitment to prevent a repeat
I won't let it happen again
Determined not to let it recur
I won't let it happen again
Pledging to avoid a recurrence
I won't let it happen again
Firm on not letting it happen again
I won't let it happen again
A strong resolution to prevent repetition
I won't let it happen again
A commitment to avoid a repeat
