lyrics

Maybe you found God.
Maybe you saw the killer.
Maybe not.
Maybe you were looking in the mirror.
You might have thought you were right.
Might not know what you were thinking.
Thought you’d open your mind,
now your head’s ringing, keep it…
to yourself.

Maybe you have friends.
Maybe they don’t know.
Keep it to yourself.
Don’t let it show.

Maybe you’re the victim.
Maybe that’s your game.
Maybe nothing’s changed.
Maybe just your name.
Your shame is deep inside you.
The truth won’t find you, keep it…
to yourself.

Have you got something to say?
Or something to stand for?
Maybe that’s your play!
You wait until they’re asleep
and drop the bomb on their dreams.
It’s easy as it seems
They’re only sleeping. Keep it…
to yourself.

Maybe you have a gift.
Something you want to share.
Don’t let it out.
Just leave it in there…
If they see what you have.
they won’t understand.
Probably won’t even look. Keep it…
to yourself.

This is a lesson I’ve learned
from years of being burned,
led on and spurned,
I’m giving you these words
to lock up in your heart and head.
I ask of you, in return,
to listen and discern.
Maybe this is your art.
Maybe this is the part of you
that they’ll never get.
Maybe this is the thing
they’ll burn when you are dead.
Well, you’ve got nothing to say.
There’s nothing there, so keep it…
to yourself.
