///*****/// [Stereo Widening] [Stereo Spanning] [Reverb FX] [Start] [Introduction – Banjo and Resonator Guitar] “Secrets always find a way... to speak.” [Verse 1] I smell the smoke, even when there's no fire Your Late-night hours, perfume on your attire You act like a saint, but I see through the smile 'Cause silence like that only speaks when it lies [Pre-Chorus 1] You say nothin’s wrong, But baby, I ain’t blind The truth’s in the cracks That you’re leavin’ behind [Chorus] Secrets—they’re crawlin’ in the dark Chewin’ up the edges of a once-loyal heart You hide ‘em in the corners, you bury 'em down deep But they don’t die quietly—they escape in your sleep Secrets—they rot what love has built They stain the sheets with their filthy guilt You think I don't know, but you'll get your turn Some bridges, once burned, never return [Verse 2] You walk in like ivory , but your soul’s drippin’ black I hear confessions in the words you can't take back Every kiss tastes like...a tainted goodbye I’m tired of askin’ the mirror...why...oh why!! [Pre-Chorus] I gave you my name My heart, and my soul But you gave it all away To just find another hole [Chorus] Secrets—they’re poison in disguise Wearin’ Sunday clothes and weekday lies You whisper “I love you” with a syrupy grin But baby, even I know it's dripping in sin Secrets—they rot what love's built They stain the sheets with their filthy guilt You thought I didn't know, but you're gonna learn As I light those sheets on fire, and watch you burn [Bridge – Acoustic] What's worse than a lie, are the truths you withhold A heart left alone, in a marriage grown cold I begged for your love, but you gave me a ghost Now I watch it all go up.....in a plume of smoke.... [Final Chorus – Full Band Explosion] Secrets—they kill without sound Pullin' all we had straight underground You can hide 'em deep, but they always rise Truths never stay hidden— they come with a price Secrets—they rot what love's built They stain the sheets with their filthy guilt I just let you lie... to not be alone That's no longer a concern.....cause you're dead and gone..... [Banjo Solo Outro Fades to End]] [Spoken Word] “Secrets.......they always rot what love builds..."
