My Secret Life
5-28-07

I feel like a superhero
With no real power at all
Only a middle class zero
With a bunch of masks on the wall

You will never let me speak
And those who will are never there
Another tear trickles down my cheek
You don't know why and you don't care

I tell jokes and show my laughs
But my secret life
Of happiness and sadness I still have
And you'll only know the lie

My boyfriend no one knows
Sometimes I think I imagined him
I've never been so close
Right next to me but he's invisible to them

I wish you knew him like I do
He must be the sweetest guy
But don't get too close
Because he's mine

I tell jokes and show my laughs
But my secret life
Of happiness and sadness I still have
And you'll only know the lie

So many things
But the only ears who hear
Go through too much misery
Can't hold anymore despair

I have so many stories to tell
That haunt my every thought
They fill my empty cell
Threatening me until I talk

I tell jokes and show my laughs
But my secret life
Of happiness and sadness I still have
And you'll only know the lie

Why won't you listen to me?
Just sit down and hear
Of fading memories
And of silly fears
Turning into monsters tearing limb from limb
Can't scream, keep quiet, and let them dig right in

So many faces
So many masks pinned on the wall
Too many places
For lacked up shadows to crawl
Turning into monsters tearing limb from limb
Can't scream, keep quiet, and let them dig right in
Turning into monsters tearing limb from limb
Can't scream, keep quiet, and let them dig right in
