Using, abusing, living lies
Secrets fester, conscience dies
Lost inside the serpent’s lair
Haunted by my own despair
Share the secret, relieve the pain, shed the mask, break the chain
Trust the truth, burn the lies, from the ashes I will rise
Vision blinded by obsession
Muted thoughts of god-conception
Drug-induced false perception
Builds a mask of self-deception
Share the secret, relieve the pain, shed the mask, break the chain
Trust the truth, burn the lies, from the ashes I will rise
Secrets held will bring us down
Take us to the dark side of town
That which we refuse to share
Will lead us down the devil's stair
BRIDGE (paraphrased from the Gnostic Gospel of St. Thomas):
If you keep inside what's within you
What stays in will slowly kill you
If you bring forth what's within you
What you share will surely save you
Day by day, I make my peace
Bring in the light, extend the lease
Pay the rent for sobriety
Calm my fears and anxiety
Share the secret, relieve the pain, shed the mask, break the chain
Trust the truth, burn the lies, from the ashes I will rise
