Telepath

Truth has not been kind to me and silence has been cruel With whips and blades they torture me for daring to bend their rules Regret has yet to show it's face but I know someday it will Strip me bare and bleed me dry like a prophecy fulfilled So I wrestle with demons and argue with ghosts And continue to love that which hurts me the most I cling to my secrets and swallow my pride A word never spoken cannot be a lie Love has not been good to me, compelling me to chase Led me from my refuge into a dark and dangerous place Surrounded by a thousand suns, I keep my blindfold on Too terrified to speak the truth, this coward holds her tongue So I wrestle with demons and argue with ghosts And continue to love that which hurts me the most I cling to my secrets and swallow my pride A word never spoken cannot be a lie Read my mind, steal the words from my lips 'Cos I can't say them out loud I won't run, I won't hide I'll accept my punishment for the first time in my life So I wrestle with demons and argue with ghosts And continue to love that which hurts me the most I cling to my secrets and swallow my pride A word never spoken cannot be a lie
