Lyrics

Secret Place

Deep within these walls I live
They give me strength I have to give
But I could stand these chains all right
If I can make it just one night.

I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows

At times it gets so dark in here
It seems as though I’ve disappeared
The shades are drawn, the lights go out
And no one hears my screams or shouts.

I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows

Do you know what it would be like hiding in a shell for all your life?
Now you turn your back and run away
Searching for the words you want to say.

So instead of going out to play
I think I’ll just stay home today
It feels too strange to be outside
What if the television weatherman lied?

I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place
I’ve got a secret place I can go
Nobody knows
