about

Secrets. Everybody's got ‘em and sometimes we carry certain secrets with us for the our entire lives. The funny thing about secrets though is that they commonly involve another person so it's never really possible to know how truly “secret” your secret is. Unless you have a positive relationship with the concept of “trusting” other people which can be pretty ironic if you think about it…

How can someone who has ever kept a secret in their life ever really trust another person? That's what this song is about and it's not topic that many people like to talk about. I just think it's important to keep in mind that every single person in your life is just as capable as you are when it comes to making selfish choices.

lyrics

MY BACK AGAINST THIS FENCE - THIS FENCE AGAINST THE CITY
HIDE ME FROM THE LIGHTS - I'M NOT FEELING TOO PRETTY
PUTTING MY MOUTH IN PLACES THAT I KNOW I SHOULDN'T
KNEW I SHOULD STOP BUT I ONCE I STARTED IT I COULDN'T

FUNNY HOW WE GET CAUGHT UP IN OUR BUBBLES
AFRAID OF BREAKING OUT BUT KEEP OURSELVES CAUGHT UP IN TROUBLE
ALWAYS CRAWLING BACK TO THOSE EMPTY SPACES
ALWAYS CRAWLING BACK TO FAMILIAR FACES
NEW LOVE - NEW FUN - NEW ME
ISN'T THAT THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE?
WELL, IF THAT'S REALLY TRUE TELL ME WHAT AM I TO DO
WHEN I'M WAKING UP HUNGOVER AND MY FINGERS SMELL LIKE…

WELL, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT
YEAH, THAT'S ALL I’M GUNNA SAY ABOUT THAT

CHEW YOU UP - SPIT YOU OUT
DRINK YOUR BATHWATER - SEE WHAT THE HYPE IS ALL ABOUT
THIS LIQUID COURAGE MAKES MY BLOOD LESS SHY
INTOXICATED FROM THE MEMORIES OF YOU AND I

WRAP MY HANDS AROUND YOUR THROAT LIKE A NECKLACE - RECKLESS
SQUEEZE A LITTLE A TIGHTER - SPARK A FIRE - IM BREATHLESS
ON THE HUNT - LOOKING AT MY NEXT MEAL
RUN THIS BLADE ALONG YOUR SPINE - NOW TELL ME HOW YA REALLY FEEL?
I'M NOT A BAD GUY - IN FACT I'M PRETTY FAR FROM IT
BUT WE ALL GOT DIRTY LAUNDRY IN THE CORNERS OF OUR CLOSET
IT'S NO WONDER THAT I'M STRUGGLING LEARNING TO TRUST
JUST ASK THE SWORDS FROM THE LAST FEW STONES I'VE TOUCHED

WELL, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT
YEAH, THAT'S ALL IM GUNNA SAY ABOUT THAT

I THINK I KNOW THIS BEAT - YEAH, I'VE HEARD THIS SONG
AND IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE WORDS FEEL FREE TO SING ALONG
WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE - WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE - WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
IF I’M LUCKY THIS AIN’T NOTHIN BUT A MIDLIFE CRISIS
HELL TO PAY - CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT THE PRICE IS?
I GOT AN APPETITE FOR CROSSING THE LINE
AND THERE'S NO PLACE IN YOUR WORLD FOR A SOUL LIKE MINE
WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE - WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE - WE CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE

WELL, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT
YEAH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT
