In my house, you come to learn.
This is my fire- you watch it burn.
Listen, look, learn again.
You will be my secret friend.
You will be my sole defender.
Give me something to remember.
Cause there’s so much pain that I cannot hide.
I need you to know how I feel inside.
In my house, where the shadows are long
Come inside, do not hide
You will learn to be strong.
Cause the pain is a flame I hold inside
Through the night while we dance in the moonlight.
And the flame is a fire that will never end.
Even for my secret friend.
But if you hurt me secret friend-
If you lay me low-
You don’t want to be there
On that night I lose control.
Cause the animal in her cage is pacing
And the wiggly worm know what he be facing-
I’ll make you laugh just like a clown
Then BAM another secet friend go down.
In my house, where the children come play
Through the night, so we hide
But they won’t be there by day.
Cause the pain is a flame we hold inside
Through the night while we dance in the moonlight.
And the flame is a fire that will never end.
Even for my secret friend.
Sacred are the things that last
But you come on so hard and fast I cry.
Sacred things are meant to be
But you won’t put your claim on me so I
Belong to myself.
And the claim of
The life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there.
Please don’t let me go back to the
Claim of the life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.
You come on so fast and dark
Leave just when you’ve had enough
I lie- cloud in my mind.
Sacred things are meant to be
But you won’t put your claim on me and why?
There’s a woman you love
And the claim of
The life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there.
Please don’t let me go back to the
Claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go back to the
Claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.
Claims appear on every street
The ripples where the rivers meet thats life.
Climb their way up every wall
They do whatever’s wanted to survive.
Pick your phone up with your ring
You leave like its not anything but why?
There’s a woman you love.
Through the alleyways I creep
A cloud of smoke when people sleep
And I belong to myself.
And the claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go back to the
Claim of the life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.
Pin me down, feed me grapes
Lay your shirt upon my face
So easy to love
Pin me down beneath your shoe
You have better things to do
So easy to fall
And you say
That I’m easy to love
And you say
That you’ll always be the one who I can run to
You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry
In the dark, meet you there
Run your fingers through my hair
So easy to fall
From the dark to the dawn
Make me feel like love will just go on
So easy to crawl
And you say
That I’m easy to love
And you say
That you’ll always be the one who I can run to
You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry
Had your money on my mind
It doesn’t matter if he’s kind
You close your eyes and let it roll away
Meet you at a new location
In between the conversation
Something makes me feel like I’m okay
Cause you say
That I’m easy to love
So I’ll try
To be easy to love
And I’ll try
To never need nobody I can run to cause
You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry
I am a cave
Don’t come in
Don’t come in
I don’t trust you
Let me make that clear
Before we begin
Because you’ll say you love me
Then you’ll go
Wipe the darkness from your hands
A man emerging from a hole
Into the light
Disconnected from the things he said
While falling through the night.
I am dark
Don’t approach
Don’t approach
Crawled through the mountainside
In the night
In a cloack
Because you hurt me, when you said you loved me
Leaving me there empty Like a hole
Did you think I would remain, lying in the pain,
Turning to a crust oh no my friend.
Something else comes in.
He was black like the sky
And his skin was wet as he looked in to my eyes
And then he told me I’d never be alone.
The dark would be my home.
The night would be my throne.
And then the sky became my cape
And the stars were diamonds
In them I was draped
And into my mind, he spoke words so sublime
And now I know
That every word you said to throw away
Was written in a book and it will be read one day
So you can go. Or stay.
It doesn’t make a difference in the end
Cause when you go
Something else comes in.
I am a cave
Don’t come in
Don’t come in
I don’t trust you
Let me make that clear
Before we begin
Because you’ll say you love me
Then you’ll go
Wipe the darkness from your hands
A man emerging from a hole
Into the light
Disconnected from the things he said
While falling through the night.
I am dark
Don’t approach
Don’t approach
Crawled through the mountainside
In the night
In a cloack
Because you hurt me, when you said you loved me
Leaving me there empty Like a hole
Did you think I would remain, lying in the pain,
Turning to a crust oh no my friend.
Something else comes in.
He was black like the sky
And his skin was wet as he looked in to my eyes
And then he told me I’d never be alone.
The dark would be my home.
The night would be my throne.
And then the sky became my cape
And the stars were diamonds
In them I was draped
And into my mind, he spoke words so sublime
And now I know
That every word you said to throw away
Was written in a book and it will be read one day
So you can go. Or stay.
It doesn’t make a difference in the end
Cause when you go
Something else comes in.
Well…. I’ve started adding lyrics to videos- what do you think? Some say this is good & some say it is bad.
