Embers - Part I: Your Secret Is Safe With Me

in a house
 in a room
 behind a door
 so long ago
 nothing grows here anymore
 ... but walls have memory
 long ago, yesterday
 fear entered the room
 there are cuts that no one sees
 that are hidden well (buried deep)
 so deep in a stained heart (broken heart)
 there is no going back
 (to the one I used to be)
 there's no peace tonight (there's no peace at all)
 there is no charm to make it right (love to make it right)
 and what was murdered must live on (oh it must live on)
 and my own secret's safe with me, safe with me...
 long ago, every day
 someone's longing for
 someone to heal all the wounds
 all the endless pain
 someone to bring back (bring her back)
 to embrace the child (child I used to be)
 say a silent prayer (silent prayer)
 a lullaby that no one hears (that no one hears)
 a song of mourning for the lost (mourning for the lost)
 and my own secret, safe with me
 there's no peace tonight (there's no peace at all)
 there is no charm to make it right (love to make it right)
 and what was murdered must live on (oh it must live on)
 and my own secret's safe with me, safe with me...
