My Secret Self

By Gina Di Tullio

Sometimes it’s just so dark

Verse

I live a world of mystery,

Intrigue makes me sane.

It’s time to go, it’s time to run.

Avoidance of the pain

I’ve stayed ahead, the game’s been played.

They’ll find out what I’m about.

Inside a pyramidal box I’m clawing,

Clawing to get out.

I’m clawing to get out.

Chorus

My existence still preserved, (a memory)

A memory placed on a shelf. (I can’t reveal)

I can’t reveal the disguise that hides, (the disguise that hides)

That hides my secret self.

Verse

Being this way is wrong I know,

With you it feels so right.

Do you know me, do I myself?

Am I worth the fight?

Should I stay and tell you everything?

It’s all about to start.

Everything I’ve built with you,

May just fall apart.

It may just fall apart.

Chorus

My existence still preserved, (a memory)

A memory placed on a shelf. (I can’t reveal)

I must reveal the disguise that hides, (the disguise that hides)

That hides my secret self.

Bridge

You cannot begin to know me!

For how would I survive? 

You know, you know, you know acceptance,

Is more that just a glimpse,

A glimpse of my insides.

Chorus

My existence still preserved, (a memory)

A memory placed upon a shelf. (I can’t reveal)

I can’t reveal the disguise that hides, (the disguise that hides)

That hides my secret self.

Repeat Chorus

My existence still preserved,

A memory placed upon a shelf. (I can’t reveal)

I can’t reveal the disguise that hides, (the disguise that hides)

That hides my secret self.

Hello, it’s nice to meet you, I am my secret self.
