Some truths are better if never told
They cause pain and despair beyond control
Be careful what you ask for you may learn
The answers to secrets we often yearn
It all begins with birth or perhaps years before
Our destiny determined by DNA of yore
Don't make no difference if we believe or not at all
We all fly the same when our angels come to call
Disgrace the surname and ancestors will haunt
Looking for clues will truly just taunt
Hidden for years, generations and ages
Uncovering them now only provokes and enrages
Blind to reality though it lurks all around
Every aspect of our lives shaped by spirits underground
Lies have been told for eons to hide
Suspicious of hatred to which we are tied
Clues abound but we fail to recognize
The truth that hangs over us someday we'll realize
We aren't to blame, it isn't our fault
Be proud of your character never have doubt
Some say closets are best used for clothing
Family secrets often hidden from those who judge
Taken to our graves instead of disclosing
Afraid of ridicule choosing not to budge
Haunting secrets devour ambition
Causing sadness, crippling depression
Anguish and madness always overcome
Temptation to unload haunting secrets
Controlling who we've become
