This is a poem that morphed into lyrics and I need some suggestions.  It has a heavy 3/4 moderate tempo.  I have been stuck on these lyrics/poem for over a year and a half. I want to finish the song 3 more and I will have enough for an album.


We all hide secrets from our past,
Ones we’ll never even tell to friends
Kept securely under lock and key.
Never to be thought of again.
Hoping no one ever uncovers
The deep dark secrets that we save.
Telling lies to one another
You get through life that way.

Tommy was a closet queen
He used to wear his mothers clothes
Hang out in dark movie theaters
And do his thing in the back rows.
Bobby’s getting married soon
I wish him all the best
All the guys his wife’s been with
Would leave a **** star impressed
John was our football coach
Used to stare at us in gym
I knew that he had several boys at home
And I felt really sorry for them.


We all have ghosts in the closet
Well-kept secrets fill our heads.
Stuff our conscience in our pockets.
Tear off the clothes and jump in bed.
Praying no one will uncover
The deceitful games that we play
Whisper lies to your lover
Because tomorrow’s another day.
