People always have to know so much
More and more to keep them hush. And once they know, they must take
Take and use and dwindle to fate
They must explore every unknown path
Just to throw all unseen beauty in the trash
And once they discover, they keep it a secret
Hide it from the world and never release it
Every whisper in an ear, they must know
Promise not to tell, but they let it go
And when they know, the rumors start
They tear and eat away at your heart
The world is keeping one big secret, and I want to know nothing they say
Everything I dream of is so beautiful, and in my dreams it shall stay
