Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've got a secret

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs

And I'm gonna keep it

I know something you don't know

It sits in silence, eats away at me

It feeds like cancer, this guilt could fill a fucking sea

Pulling teeth, wolves at my door

Now falling and failing is all I know

This disease is getting worse

I counted my blessings, now I'll count this curse

The only thing I really know, I can't sleep at night

I'm buried and breathing in regret, yeah

The only thing I really know, I can't sleep at night

I'm buried and breathing in regret

I've got a secret

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs

And I'm gonna keep it

I know something you don't know

I've got a secret

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs

And I'm gonna keep it

I know something you don't know

I may look happy, but honestly, dear

The only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear

I see the vultures, they watch me bleed

They lick their lips, as all my shame spills out of me

Repent, repent, the end is nigh

Repent, repent, we're all gonna die

Repent, repent, these secrets will kill us

So get on your knees and pray for...

Repent, repent, the end is nigh

Repent, repent, we're all gonna die

Repent, repent, these secrets will kill us

So get on your knees and pray for forgiveness

We all carry these things inside that no one else can see

They hold us down like anchors, they drown us out at sea

I look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see

But if I don't believe in him, why would he believe in me?

Why would he believe in me?

Why would he believe in me?

Why would he believe in me?

Why would he believe in me?

I've got a secret

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs

And I'm gonna keep it

I know something you don't know

I've got a secret

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs

And I'm gonna keep it

I know something you will never know

You will never know

I know something you don't know
