Mattress

All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress
All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress

Ain't no way to ignore yourself
A lot to say, but no one to tell
We all think you so cool
'Cause nobody knows that nobody knows you
Paint brush, cover up them flaws
Break ups and the broken laws
You can't share all the facts
With a home made crosshair on your back
Everybody wanna tell the tale
Like the chips might fall but they never fail
You still don't realize, take a look around
Do we seem surprised?
So we don't even need to know
About the poor decisions that feed your growth
Nah, we just wanna see the now what
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep your mouth shut?

All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress
All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress

You can't even tell your mirror
Anyone can seem so sincere
Watch whatever you volunteer
Voices argue all up in here
She was pointing at her head
When she said "let's move this ball to the bed"
First time on her field, hit a homerun
Wash your hands, don't tell no one
Better check yourself
'Cause the best part of you, the part kept to self
We'll never forget how it felt
Look at how well you dealt with the guilt now

All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress
All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress

You gotta secret but everybody does
And the whole damn courtroom wanna be the judge
We all wanna be distracted
And take our minds off our own malpractice
Everybody talk about they past
Like today's mistake is gonna be the last
We wanna see behind your mask
Like we ain't got our backyard of trash
Well this one drink and drive
And that one there, cheats on his wife
Broken promises, deadbeat dads
Overdoses and one night stands
Let's all make a mess
And try to project some kind of perfection
And let me sing you a song
'Cause I ain't the first thing you ever did wrong, come on

All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress
All your secrets stay safe
All your liars will lay
All your stories are stains
On that mattress
