Secrets are like poison

They kill you little by little

As you keep them locked inside

Until you're lying, glassy-eyed

Speaking is like medicine

It heals you little by little

As you break up the virus hid inside

And open other's blinded eyes

Truth is like fire

It destroys all in instants

To open up new life

With tears in the eyes

Lies are like water

They pull you under, bit by bit

But push the pain aside

By closing aching eyes

Silent we are dying

Speaking we are killing

Honest we are burning

Lying we are drowning
