Keep it in the family
Don't let the outside in
Keep your wrists tight bandaged
Don't let them know your sin.
Secrets are so volatile, they rot away, you're feeling vile, your body violated, the family will be devasted.
Just for a while it all seems right, the night is far from you, but secrets held so close have a way of eating through the toughest skin, keep it in, keep the sin, one day you'll learn to fight the fear that cuts you deep, won't let you sleep.
Don't let them see you bleeding
Don't let them see the tears
They'll read about you in your eyes and
be mesmerised until the hurt you feel is cauterised by the passing of the years.

Keep it in the family
Don't let the outside in
Keep your wrists tight bandaged
Don't let them know your sin.
Secrets are so volatile, they rot away, you're feeling vile, your body violated, the family will be devasted.
Just for a while it all seems right, the night is far from you, but secrets held so close have a way of eating through the toughest skin, keep it in, keep the sin, one day you'll learn to fight the fear that cuts you deep, won't let you sleep.
Don't let them see you bleeding
Don't let them see the tears
They'll read about you in your eyes and
be mesmerised until the hurt you feel is cauterised by the passing of the years.
