Veiled Secrets in my Backyard

by Viola   Jul 16, 2008


I'm terrified of digging up all my old mistakes
But I'll do it, for you
Broken fingernails scratching at the surface
Exhumation of hidden regrets buried in years of lies
It's shameful as I look at you open me up
Reveal all the tenebrous things I never wanted anyone to know
I'm stripped and I'm raw, I've got nothing more
I'd throw everything on the line for you if you ask it of me
Even though I'd rather walk through fire than let you down

So here, here's me...trying
I can only give you everything I've got
I'm reaching out my hand
Will you help me? Will you take it?
