A whisper in your ear.
That's how it starts
That's how the web is spun,
Promises come undone-
The secret is spilled.
But shush, don't tell anyone.
A whisper in your ear.
Like a gentle breeze
A tickle up your arm
A shiver down your spine
So fleeting, yet the feeling lingers
Stitches are woven,
Trust is broken-
The secret is spilled.
But shush, don't tell anyone.
A whisper in your ear.
The tension begins to mount
The truth settles in
You try to forget,
But your mind won't let-
The secret is spilled.
But shush, don't tell anyone.
A whisper in your ear.
A stab in the back
A knife to your throat,
You'll be in the same boat-
If the secret is spilled.
So shush, don't tell anyone.
A whisper in your ear.
Seems harmless, but is lethal
You didn't ask to be told,
Didn't know what would unfold
Who are you to stay silent?
Are words really that violent?
The urge creeps further and further up your throat,
But then you remember:
Shush, don't tell anyone.
A whisper in your ear.
You can't take it anymore
The dread multiplies,
As you spin the web of lies,
Despite all your tries,
You succumb as time flies,
Nothing can disguise,
The guilt in your eyes-
As you spill the secret.
But shush, don't tell anyone.
