lyrics

I know about the girls you called friend
Now I’ve got a secret too
And I know they were much more than that then
Now I’ve got a secret too.
Yeah, I know about the soulless names yeah
I’ve got a secret too
Without a sound they praise your fame yeah
Now I’ve got a secret too.
Well that’s real
And you’re not
Unhinged and haywire
Mythomaniac.

No, you can’t see the future
And your dreams they don’t come true
You’re a mixed up, messed up bag of bones
Even God can see right through.
And you don’t walk on water
Yeah, your hands just flesh and blood.
And you prey on the weak
And you feed off the young
And I know what you’ve said
And I know what you’ve done
Now I’ve got a secret too.

I know how much you like to watch
Yeah, now I’ve got a secret too
Behind close doors and in the dark
Yeah, now I’ve got a secret too.
Well that’s real
And you’re not
Unhinged and haywire
Mythomaniac.

So you know it’s not that special
When the words are make believe
Looking tired and bent
Feeling unmoved I bet
You’ve spent a lifetime on them I see.
No, they’ll never be a moment
When the truth shall set you free.
Because you prey on the weak
And you feed off the young
And I know what you’ve said
And I know what you’ve done
Now I’ve got a secret too.
