Hide It Away
If you got a secret
Well, everybody knows it
If you come and tell me
Well, how am I supposed to hold it?
It's been burning in the sunlight
It's been laughing in the silence
There's a life to it now
Some quick, uncanny life
Every angry angel
Every burning bush
Just turn your back on them
It's all a little much
Well, I'm not talking
'Cause I don't feel like lying
And if you stay silent
We can walk on in silence
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If they're calling your name, well, you don't have to answer
If they're knocking at your door, well, you don't have to answer
If they say it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer
And if you know it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
Any half confession that I ever made
Any false position is sprawled out on the page
The cuts have stopped bleeding
It's not right to be afraid
But I can spare a shiver
When they're walking on my grave
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If they say it's a lie, well, you don't have to answer
If you just close your eyes, well, you don't have to answer
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If you got a secret
Well, everybody knows it
If you come and tell me
Oh well, I'll try to hold it
We can bury it in silence
We can banish it to midnight
It's no use watching all the others
How the others could look so free?
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
Well, everybody knows it
If you come and tell me
Well, how am I supposed to hold it?
It's been burning in the sunlight
It's been laughing in the silence
There's a life to it now
Some quick, uncanny life
Every angry angel
Every burning bush
Just turn your back on them
It's all a little much
Well, I'm not talking
'Cause I don't feel like lying
And if you stay silent
We can walk on in silence
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If they're calling your name, well, you don't have to answer
If they're knocking at your door, well, you don't have to answer
If they say it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer
And if you know it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long

You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long

It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
