Little Secrets

When I came down, the dawn poured into me

I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling

My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds

My stolen gold inside the emperor's tomb

Now painting rainbows on my ugly face

I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace

But I ascend and serve my feverish need

Within the confines of such chemistry

It's the way I see

Everything I need

It's no way to be

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me

Up and up we keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

My face blew up at such a casual sight

The smattered colors of ecstatic fright

The rush above me to oblivion

Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen

Oh, have you ever felt so goddamn strong?

How come it takes some people so damn long?

He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

The citrus drawing out the season's stains

Watch the basin drain

As your life lines wane

And you can't explain

As your friends complain

You've caused all this pain

And you proudly shame

Your whole familiy's name

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me

Up and up we keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Mother, I can tell what you've been thinking

Staring at the stars on your ceiling

Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

And now I've hit the mark

Staring at the dark

And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me

Up and up we keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me

Up and up we keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher
