Everyone's a Secret

Well, the story unfolds
With how she was raised to do what she's told
By a man who wrinkled her clothes
And folded her arms back to beat out her soul

She had to love him 'cause the family loved him so
Never told them what he did, just let it go
Thought that he deserved the love he couldn't show
But she was born to wear the bruises on her throat

Everyone's a secret, no-one lets you in
They only show you pieces, never skeletons
Seven billion rejects 'asking for a friend'
Embarrassed of their needs and what they think it means, yeah
Everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a secret

It's hell, all the secrets he keeps
Forced to live in a nightmare so his parents can sleep
Wish him well, 'cause Mama framed him a lie
Hung from the family tree so that the roots wouldn't die

He just wakes up every morning, takes two pale white pills
Tries to numb the trauma, save the boy they killed
Now he's a wallflower wishing until he wilts
And he'll become the mausoleum to rest their guilt

Everyone's a secret, no-one lets you in
They only show you pieces, never skeletons
Seven billion rejects 'asking for a friend'
Embarrassed of their needs and what they think it means, yeah
Everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a secret

We can't hide the truth, it's on our face (ohh)
Written in abuse we can't erase (ohh)
We can't hide the truth, it's on our face (ohh)
We can't hide the truth if we want change (ohh)

Everyone's a secret, no-one lets you in
They only show you pieces, never skeletons
Seven billion rejects 'asking for a friend'
Embarrassed of their needs and what they think it means, yeah
Everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a secret
Everyone's a secret, everyone's a

I am the language that you don't speak
