Keep It Hidden Son

Hide in a damp basement
Hide beside a weaving creek
White of brown cattails protect you
From death and family
Hide behind a pile of bricks
Or a hill of dry black snow
Far from the minds of hollow people
And their empty eyes that think they know

Keep it hidden son
Keep it hidden son
Don't let anyone through
Don't let anyone know you

In the leaves I kicked a rat
When you're dry and dead like that
Even the bugs leave you alone
Everyone leaves you alone
Before he left, the rat made a will
He sat alone and wrote until
It had the words he could never say
Then he hid it and ran away

Keep it hidden son
Keep it hidden son
Don't let anyone through
Don't let anyone know you

It said don't worry I don't blame you
You left our home because you had to
It's ok I understand I forgive you
Because I know what you've been through

We are the makers of our own meaning
When you were home you were always dreaming
Of other places that no one could find
You came alive when you left us behind

Keep it hidden son
Keep it hidden son
Don't let anyone through
Don't let anyone know you
Don't let anyone through
Don't let anyone know you
