lyrics

My sacred secret sat inside a buried box
it was buried back in the woods of my mind
on particularly weird weeks i'd find the overgrown path to it and walk
but
one day my family caught me with mud on my shoes
"what were you just digging up?" they asked accusingly
"you don't want to know" I said, and bitterly I slammed the door.
the only thing left of my sercret was its memory
and i was confused
did my secret happen
was it all a dream
well, i couldn't in that house explore it
nothing i could say would warrant such a venture from the norm
but one day years later
i'd moved, i'd worked, I'd lived
i sat one night tucked behind my laptop screen
i searched the web for courage and i searched it for me
and i found both
so now, like an open source encyclopedia
i'm sharing my sacred secret
but if my secret isn't secret anymore
does that mean it's no longer sacred?
am i sacrificing divinity by living in truthful honesty
i still straddle, i still battle the answer sometimes
but if i don't share through this story, advertising locally,
you'll never know the beauty of this type of lived complexity
the harmonics of others like me,
we create the most beautiful chord
and if you still don't have a clue
what the hell i'm hinting at
please sit back
and let yourself learn about what I've gone through
