The Hawthorne Effect - Skeletons

I've carried all this weight around
I picked it up when you put me down
I've got secrets, dirty little secrets
Drowned it in the waves, but it's rising in my wake
Help me find a way
Gonna let it out

I've got a secret and I ain't gonna to keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret
Oh I've got a secret and I ain't gonna keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret
Gonna let it out

Tried my best to push it down
While parts of me spread it all around
I've got a habit, a dirty little habit
Ashes in the flames, don't put flowers on my grave
Help me find a way...
Gotta let it out

I've got a secret and I ain't gonna to keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret
Oh I've got a secret and I ain't gonna keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret

Alright, here's the cause of the disconnect
Up is down when there's no right left
The world stays the same no matter how hard you try
Just gets worse the more you fight, lie, and deny it
There's too much here we can't accept
Some won't see it; some just can't

Fear, sadness, anger, pain
Shame leads to secrets
Secrets to shame

Loss, grief, guilt, blame
Shame leads to secrets
Secrets more shame

It always starts with the same events
War, famine, disaster, abuse, neglect
Apes of Nikko, they all came and left a
Disease of fear, resistance, addiction, and death

I see and remember won't let you forget
A secret's a debt; and I've come to collect

I've got a secret and I ain't gonna to keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret
Oh I've got a secret and I ain't gonna keep it
Oh I've got a secret, a dirty little secret
