✦ Lyrics by adipit ✦ [Verse 1: Tension Builds] The light is out, the curtains drawn, But my mind won't let me see the dawn. You lie so still, a perfect mask, Hiding questions I can't ask. I watch your chest rise up and fall, Waiting for the silence to dissolve. [Pre-Chorus: Escalation] You tell me that you want me, You say that I'm the only one. But there's a place you cannot reach, Where all the secret damage is done. [Chorus: Power Pop Hook] I hear the secrets that you keep When you're talking in your sleep. It's a whisper, cold and low, Telling me the things I shouldn't know. I hear the secrets that you keep, While I'm drowning in the deep! [Verse 2: Obsession & Control] The clock is ticking on the wall, I trace the shadows in the hall. I memorize the tiny words, The frantic language of the sleeping birds. I'm piecing fragments, bit by bit, The truth you try so hard to quit. [Pre-Chorus: Escalation] You tell me that you want me, You say that I'm the only one. But there's a place you cannot reach, Where all the secret damage is done. [Chorus: Power Pop Hook] I hear the secrets that you keep When you're talking in your sleep. It's a whisper, cold and low, Telling me the things I shouldn't know. I hear the secrets that you keep, While I'm drowning in the deep! [Bridge: Rhythmic Guitar Spotlight] (No drums, Rhythmic guitar strums spotlight) Who is she? Where did you go? Tell me everything the walls already know! (Drums crash back in) [Final Chorus: High Replay Value] I hear the secrets that you keep When you're talking in your sleep. It's a whisper, cold and low, Telling me the things I shouldn't know. I hear the secrets that you keep, While I'm drowning in the deep! [Outro] Talking in your sleep... (Guitar feedback, drum fill fade)
