You don't have any secrets when you come into the world
|
You're open like a book and the pages get filled
|
The leaves keep turning and on every single page
|
They write their story with the marks on you face
|
Marks on your face
|
|
Locked in your head an unbreakable code
|
A secret never spoken is a story never told
|
Gonna show you the back of my nhand they say
|
You can hide those scars but they hurt you every day
|
They hurt you every day
|
They hurt you every day
|
|
Chorus
|
What was written on the back of his hand
|
You once said it out loud you won't say it again
|
What was written on the back of his hand
|
You once said it out loud you won't say it again
|
What was written on the back of his hand
|
You won't say it again
|
|
Water is holy when it falls from the sky
|
Water tastes bitter when it falls from your eyes
|
Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky
|
There's no rhyme or reason when you're watching time fly
|
Watching time fly
|
|
When the stars come out the night is alive
|
Connect those stars with the lines of your life
|
With the lines on your hand with the words that you write
|
One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies
|
Beat a pack of lies
|
Beat a pack of lies
|
|
Chorus
|
|
One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies
|
One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies
|
Beat a pack of lies
|
|
Chorus
