We all have things we hide from everybody else around us you know
We're only human beings in the end
Not strong enough and so we pretend
I really thought the older I became the more I would understand
A silly hope I really did believe
Oh how naiive.
If suddenly the secrets of the universe were right in front of our eyes
I know
Just over half of my friends would run away, to no surprise
Theories, conspiracies
Perfect crimes
Patches of the universe devoid of light
Nothing I could do but keep it all inside
Hey if the world
were made of only secrets tell me what would you think?
Would right or wrong then even exist?
All these secrets that we hide
Seven billion out of sight
Tell me why - why I wish the world were as good as those lies?
Tell me why!
Will we ever get to see?
Right from wrong, or will the two of us just endlessly
Cry out in vain how we don't know a thing?
Maybe you won't believe what we say
Maybe your love will turn into hate
We all have things to hide from one another that we'll never ever say
Reading up stories all about the universe in picture books everyday
Mistakenly believing that the truth would be written out on the last page
But the years passed, growing up fast
Before I knew what happened I'd become an adult at last
Leaving all my dreams stuck in the past
Hey if the world
Became the cold reality we wanted to change
We'd be better off not knowing its ways
Through the years, I held on fierce
To one truth, my one belief
It shouldn't be easy, but it was only too easy to me, to me
Growing up, I really thought
I'd forget whatever happened and the war we fought...
I wish our lives were just as simple as the days we left in the past
Maybe then our time together would last
All these secrets taking flight
Seven billion out of sight
It chokes the world, it makes it harder for everybody to breathe
To breathe
But the justice on our minds
Each and every single person has their own inside
So let's become one secret between us two
Me and... you!
Maybe you won't believe what we say
Maybe your love will turn into hate
But in the end the only people who can show us are them anyway....
