Fathom...

A secret locked in a box for a trillion years,
that secret will release suppressed tears,
those are our greatest fears.

I had to dig deep,
that was too painful for someone to keep,
they hadn't slept for years,
they had to sleep.

How long could he keep mum,
he head become so numb,
today, at the very end of his life, he told me.
he told me something I was trying to fathom,
mysterious for these years,
they were our greatest fears.

His words, they came pouring down,
I couldn't stand steady anymore,
I was unsteady on my own feet,
he put a great deal of load of his back,
he felt free,
now the load was on me.

Sometimes mystic is better mystic,
sometimes it's better in the box,
better under the carpet,
it is better locked.

That secret,
that unholy secret,
I was trying to fathom,
the secret that made me unsteady on my own feet.
