Keep hushed dear reader, The dead are sleeping

Keep hushed dear reader
The dead are sleeping
They know the lies
In the secrets your keeping

Apologies from the cold ones
The ones that come to rest
Sorry they never deserved her
Not even at their best

The dead don't know to listen
No, they don't know to hear
Be careful not to let them scare you
Because the cold should be your fear

Do you believe in ghost stories?
The ones that make you scream
Remember to close your eyes at night
Or you'll know what those stories mean

Keep hushed, dear reader, and tell no lies
The truth needs time to rest
Truth kills you slowly doesn't it?
You don't deserve her, at your best

Don't ask me how I'm doing
I don't want to have to lie
Smiles what you should expect
Smiling is how we cry
