Collecting Secrets
By Chasing Cranes
(Verse 1)
It started out so simple
A charming smile
A subtle compliment
Something about a riddle
You sensed a connection
Chemistry defying explanation
So you opened up in a moment of reflection
Now I’m your trusted confidant
Playfully exploring the caverns of your mind
Navigating deep below the surface
Collecting all the secrets I can find
And I won’t stop until all your skeletons are mine
(Chorus)
I don’t want to use them
Just knowing makes me feel alive
Peeling back the layers
Breaking all the ties
Seeing all the things you’re scared of
And the things that you despise
Using charisma and persuasion
It’s the art of revelation
And I need it to survive
(Verse 2)
I’ll get close enough to uncover
The truth inside your thoughts
The ones you locked away in diaries
Or sealed up forever in your vaults
Boundaries start to blur
And while your dreams unfold
I’m scrolling through your phone
Reading messages untold
Even some you never sent
Nothing is forbidden and I’ll never be content
(Chorus)
I don’t want to use them
Just knowing makes me feel alive
Peeling back the layers
Breaking all the ties
Seeing all the things you’re scared of
And the things that you despise
Using charisma and persuasion
It’s the art of revelation
And I need it to survive
(Verse 3)
When there's nothing left to uncover,
And our conversations turn to weather,
I'll find a new soul to discover,
But I'll hold your secrets tight, they’re my souvenirs forever
In the depths of your mind, my memory will stay
No one else will make you feel this certain type of way.
Only I can grasp your silent sigh,
And the reasons for every tear and every try.
I won’t share, I’ll just hold your secrets dear
The only one to understand your every hope and every fear.
(Chorus)
I don’t want to use them
Just knowing makes me feel alive
Peeling back the layers
Breaking all the ties
Seeing all the things you’re scared of
And the things that you despise
Using charisma and persuasion
It’s the art of revelation
And I need it to survive
