OUT OF MIND

bats in the belfry 

a manic disease

lost in the catacombs 

in currents of deceit

 

doesn’t she see his secrets

hiding in plain sight

would she even believe it

the darkness come to light

 

there’s a whisper in the wind

crawling underneath your skin

there’s a price to pay

keep it under wraps

tucked away

out of sight

out of mind

 

like broken shards of glass

like a shadow in the night

stumbling through a minefield

knowing love is blind

 

doesn’t she see his secrets

hiding in plain sight?

would she even believe it 

the darkness come to light?

 

there’s a whisper in the wind

crawling underneath your skin

there’s a price to pay

keep it under wraps

tucked away

out of sight

out of mind

 

is she truly innocent

or does she know?

choosing not to see

she dons a willing veil

 

we only see what we want to see

we tow the noble lie

all to maintain the status quo

ignoring all the signs

 

doesn’t she see his secrets

hiding in plain sight?

would she even believe it 

the darkness come to light?

 

there’s a whisper in the wind

crawling underneath your skin

there’s a price to pay

keep it under wraps

tucked away

out of sight

out of mind
