Protecting the words from slipping out.
Keeping them deep inside where it’s almost forgotten.
What is it? Is all they go about.
My mind of emptiness is almost rotten.

My tongue is tangled from all the promises I couldn’t keep.
But I swear on my life that I won’t break this.
Because of you my mind is never asleep.
I have always failed every remiss.

The last time they asked I finally gave an answer.
The answer that wouldn’t mean a thing.
I could feel their anger.
When I said it were just a Secret about Nothing.
