For All the Secrets that I Keep


Falling deeper and deeper
Into the debt of existing free
Chastised by my desires
Still needing my dreams
There is nothing in my mind
That can save me
There's less even than that
That can please me
My life is a long walk in my sleep
And without my participation
I've nothing inside but blame
When life calls me by name
Will I recognize myself
For all the secrets that I keep
Or will I hide away
Knowing my guilt
Knowing the truth
I could thrive
But instead
I'll die a weak life
Could have done so much more
Than simply survive
