The Secret
Unveiling the Inner Demons: Jonathan Davis' 'The Secret'
Lyrics
I watch you breathing
I observe you breathing
I can't believe you sleep so calm
I'm surprised by how peacefully you sleep
With all the dirty things that you've done to me
Despite the hurtful things you've done to me
My eyes are my curse you see
My ability to perceive truth is a burden
Cause you see an angel
You're seen as an angelic figure
And not the demon child you've been
Not acknowledging the darker side you possess
Fucking with my head once again it seems
Playing with my mind yet again
Still I'm willing to believe
Despite all, I'm still inclined to believe in you
The crying out at night
The cries in the night
It's not about what's wrong
It's not just about what's wrong
The secret you slipped outside to hide
Your hidden secret
As this life moves on
As life progresses
I can't hold on
I can't maintain my grip
And I feel like I can't ever get over it
I feel incapable of moving past this
And your eyes flicker
Your eyes show signs of sinister dreams
You must be dreaming evil dreams
Are you dreaming of doing terrible things?
Are you eating someone's heart
Metaphorically consuming someone's emotions
Is it what i seems?
Is it as bad as it appears?
Your smile would make them scream
Your smile hides pain
But I know your sadness
I recognize your inner sorrow
There has to be a better way
There has to be a better solution
Someone get me some kind of priest to pray
Seeking spiritual intervention for guidance
Some kind of words to say
In need of comforting words
The crying out at night
The cries in the night
It's not about what's wrong
It's not just about what's wrong
The secret you slipped outside to hide
Your hidden secret
As this life moves on
As life progresses
I can't hold on
I can't maintain my grip
And I feel like I can't ever get over it
I feel incapable of moving past this
You kick me in the face, I will take it
Even if you hurt me, I accept it
You make a promise, you always break it
You consistently break promises
I've lived in this shadow [?] for too long
Feeling trapped or overshadowed for too long
So what am I doing? why do I choose to stay?
Questioning why I choose to endure
This thing don't just get better somehow
No immediate improvement in sight
The crying out at night
The cries in the night
It's not about what's wrong
It's not just about what's wrong
The secret you slipped outside to hide
Your hidden secret
As this life moves on
As life progresses
I can't hold on
I can't maintain my grip
And I feel like I can't ever get over it
I feel incapable of moving past this
And I feel like I can't ever get over it
-And I feel like I can't ever get over it
