Sick as Your Secrets
Unveiling Hidden Truths: The Burden of Secrets
Lyrics
You're only sick as your secrets,
You are only as troubled as the secrets you keep.
How many times did you disappear?
How often did you vanish or withdraw?
You're only good as your word,
Your integrity is measured by the promises you fulfill.
How much longer can I believe?
For how much longer can I trust or have faith in you?
I've buried bodies myself,
The singer has hidden evidence of misdeeds.
A hundred graves, a hundred ghosts
A metaphorical reference to numerous wrongdoings and the lingering impact.
I see myself in you,
The singer recognizes similarities between themselves and the listener.
How much longer,
Questioning the duration of trust or faith.
How much longer can I believe?
Repetition of the doubt regarding belief or trust.
You paint a picture
Creating an image or representation in the mind.
in my head of where I've been
A reflection on past experiences and actions.
You write the scripture,
You dictate the narrative or principles.
I hang on every word you say
The singer pays close attention to your every spoken word.
As sick as thieves (As sick as thieves)
A simile implying a close and possibly problematic relationship.
we huddle in you call the plays
In challenging situations, you direct the actions.
How sick are we? (How sick are we?)
Pondering the extent of shared troubles or difficulties.
How sick are we now?
Expressing the severity of the collective condition.
How can I believe?
An inquiry into the feasibility of maintaining belief.
