the last secret

<sub>the last secret
in the clasp where you keep it locked
close to your heart
open and shut like a casket
black
so many killed their soul
before he gave it back

duffel bag full of tranquil doves
full of pride full of thanks for the mad love
sat above the attackers
watched em fall like dominoes

the last secret
tatted beneath skin
imagine deeper in a priesthood lives

hunter trapper for snappers
throw em back after the fact
you hooked em and hung em up
racked

youre intolerant to facts like lactose
go back home, take your sleeping pill like Trazodone
schlepping for a treasure map like Geoffrey Rush as Barbaross
morning after we rose like Lazarus

last dream came in creeping at first
then a secret screaming so free you cant unsee it
they say seeing is believing
then ill believe in you and me then

and ill never stop believing
they threw babies in the deep end, Nevermind
then surprised when they cant see em weeping underwater

they sundered my boyhood home
so id always wonder what happened
like plunderphonics
secret is we live ass backwards

in the house where i lived
there was one wife, and kids
there was one life to live
there was no time for fibs
good guys always win</sub>
