Secret

Hush now my darling Don't you cry Let me give to you this lullaby Don't try to save me, stay high in the sky I promise one day I'll make it alright And I know you'll tell me carry on And I know you'll tell me that I'm strong But you know I'm seconds from the edge So tell me how to make it out When I live inside my head I'll tell you a secret I've lost the meaning Of holding my head up high It seems these defeatist Methods I'm keeping Tell me I'm doing fine Doing fine I feel it overflowing now I feel the waves rush through me I feel the current drag me down As the light fades from the surface Looks like a storms coming The skies are grey Another day Wondering when this just stops My optimism only comes in waves Clarity deliver me some kind of way to find my peace Or some kind of sleep Some kind of distance from the deep, deep Reaches of my mind I could scour the earth but never find The closure that I need The emptiness comes back to swallow me I wrestle with my dreams Nothing to show But silent screams I'll tell you a secret I've lost the meaning Of holding my head up high It seems these defeatist Methods I'm keeping Tell me I'm doing fine Doing fine I feel it overflowing now I feel the waves rush through me I feel the current drag me down As the light fades from the surface
