Ghosts

All those things I haven't said Get packed too tight inside my head Till pressure blows my mouth open And out spills all that I regret And I'm as stunned as you At how I hid the truth All those people that I've met From whom I hold some secret Are ghosts inside my mind's attic That scatter as I empty it And they're as stunned as you At how I hid the truth And I just the lit the flame To burn it away All those things I haven't said Rise like ashes from my head Leaving only charred remnants In space where I can start again And I'm as stunned as you At how I hid the truth
