Things are starting to creep out

Heard it through the grapevine

My secrets weren't supposed to come out

I locked my demons away with a key

How did they get out?

I'm always finding out last about my own business

I never wanted anyone to get hurt

That’s why I kept these monsters to myself

They cause nothing but chaos

I've tried to tame them but they never want to learn

Finding a way on their own to cause mayhem

Disturibing the peace

Now everyone knows about the dark side of me

The side that I didn't want people to see

I wasn't trying to lie like I was perfect

But I didn't want them to feel my hurt

To see my ugly

To empathize with me

I didn't want it

But it's too late they see it with a clear view

Now I have to find a way to put these thoughts back in their cage.
