Secrets

I wish I never knew the secrets that I kept inside
A state of innocence
A blissful ignorance and pride
But you warned me
To be careful with desire
Pleasures come and go
As we descend into the fire
We reach for the stars like there’s no tomorrow
'Cause all we have are yesterdays
And we don’t understand that we have no future
There’s only fear to guide the way
It was nice of you to let me live inside this maze
The colorful views and skies
A delicate world held by a thread
But you warned me to be careful with desire
Pain is plentiful
The more you find the more you fall
We reach for the stars like there’s no tomorrow
'cause all we have are yesterdays
And we don’t understand that we have no future
There’s only fear to guide the way
Tick tock, goes the clock
I press and I tear away
Layer, peal away
Layer, peal away
I press and I tear away
What’s underneath your skin
