What are secrets really all about?
Are they meant to protect… I may have some doubt
Protection from the truth this can only be
So the person with the secret can still feel free
Free from what you may ask
Freedom to continue the unworthy task

Is a secret a lie lets explore and see?
If you’re not completely truthful what else could it be
Deception, indiscretion is the root of this deed
For a secret to be a secret you must continue to feed
The appetite is endless with the burden to bare
A secret might be wrong or else you would share

And the people you trusted with the words so discreet
The more that you’ve told increases defeat
Cause most people can not continue to lie
Some will crack with the pressure inside
The cliché holds true when a wise man once said
Three can keep a secret when two are dead
