The Terrible Secret

The Terrible Secret - Emery

Pave these streets with open arms

It's always you we have waited on

The skin the taste the ** the need

I am asking telling you don't leave

Erase the lines that we have drawn

It's always you we have waited on and waited on

Waited and on and on

And on and on

And on

These are our words that fill these mouths

But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell

It out

These palms and frames that we tear through

To cling to something that is bigger than the failed

Attempts at you

Wait wait wait

I don't want to see

Wait wait wait

I am not the person anyone would want to be

The perfect shoes with matching clothes

It is the lie we are always told

But nothing masks the shallow touch

Like saying words that cost so much

While you are an addict to the need

To find yourself a way to breathe

The sex the purge the vein the look

To replace the feelings that we have took

These are our words that fill these mouths

But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell

It out

These palms and frames we tear through

To cling to something that is bigger than the failed

Attempts at you

Perfection

It's perfection

But never quite enough and never could disguise

The *** to make it stay

The wanting in your eyes

The money that you spent

But you still an accident

We are more than words that fill our mouths

Drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we

Need

These are words that fill these mouths

But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell

It out

These palms and frames we tear through

To cling to something that is bigger than the failed

Attempts at you

Wait wait wait

I don't want to see

Wait wait wait

I am not the person anyone would want to be

Waiting here 'til you leave
