Gilded Cage
My words
They don't mean much
To you at present
Until they mean
Too much
Until they mean
Everything
My words hold secrets
They hold the words
I don't plan to tell you
Just as my lips
Are lock and key
My mind is a gilded cage
With a secret to keep
One that's all my own
A secret I hope,
You'll never truly know
