Liner Notes

I look at quotes sometimes for inspiration. There's this Benjamin Franklin quote that's rattled around in my head for literal decades now, "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead." That's what spurred this.

Lyrics

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul
I have a longing vying for control
I want to tell you what’s worming in my head,
But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

It’s a hummingbird trapped in my throat
Fluttered wings that block each note
I long to share with you
The sounds just can’t come through.

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul
I have a longing vying for control
I want to tell you what’s worming in my head,
But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

The words like moths against my teeth
Wool that coats the light beneath
I ache to set them free
Release both them and me

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul
I have a longing vying for control
I want to tell you what’s worming in my head,
But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead..
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are…

Great inspiration and use of it. The low-key delivery that seems like you are talking to yourself works well for this internal monlogue.
