[Verse 1] I hold a secret behind my eyes Buried so deep, where silence lies If it ever touched the air outside It would shatter the world I hide [Pre-Chorus] (soft, almost spoken) A whisper only my heart can keep It cuts through the marrow, it runs so deep No one can know, no one can see The truth that’s caged inside of me [Chorus] A whisper to the dark, it stays Locked within my soul’s decay If I spoke it, the world would bleed Pieces cutting those I need So I’ll hold it till the end of days When a higher power weighs All the deeds and all the scars A secret carried to the stars [Verse 2] In every smile, I play the part But the silence is tearing through my heart This burden’s mine, and mine alone It echoes like a prayer unknown [Pre-Chorus] A shadow no light could ever mend A truth I’ll take until the end Not for a soul to understand Only for the heavens’ hand [Chorus] A whisper to the dark, it stays Locked within my soul’s decay If I spoke it, the world would bleed Pieces cutting those I need So I’ll hold it till the end of days When a higher power weighs All the deeds and all the scars A secret carried to the stars [Bridge] (fragile, fading almost to silence) Maybe someday, when my soul is free The truth will rise and bury me But until then, I’ll barely breathe Holding what no one else can see [Final Chorus] A whisper to the dark, it stays Hidden in the shifting haze If I spoke it, the night would fall Breaking hearts beyond recall So I’ll keep it where no one goes Only heaven will ever know When I’m measured by my deeds— This secret’s weight will fall from me
