~Verse 1~
We all want to say we have a secret
One about ourselves that no one else knows
A secrete that's deep and dark
That we always end up telling
That isn't really so deep and dark
Until you have one that burns your soul
And no one will ever know it
Before the day it's too late (oh so late)

~Verse 2~
She sits atop her roof so high from the ground.
Fears only the height she welcomes to her
But never of the pain of death (when will it come)
The only thing she openly welcomes
With the never mending wounds on her arm

~Chorus~
Darkness, can you feel it?
It's all around you, closing in
Never admitting we want to be saved (please help me)
Darkness, solitude
Darkness, solitude
Can you save me?
Will you give me what I desperately crave inside?

~Bridge~
Eating me alive,
I'm eating me alive
It's eating me alive
This damn deep, dark secrete

~Verse 3~
He prays she'll never take that final plunge
The plunge that'll start her end
He wants to say he understands her
And the rattling of nerves she feels
They know they'll never see eye to eye
But still they try, try, and try again
Until the day the wounds can't mend

~Chorus~
Darkness, can you feel it?
It's all around you, closing in
Never admitting we want to be saved (please help me)
Darkness, solitude
Darkness, solitude
Can you save me?
Will you give me what I desperately crave inside?

~Verse 4~
It’s getting so cold
Laying in a warm puddle of herself
People stand and stare
They're all so damn scared
What's to say about her to the paramedics?
Was it meant to happen,
Or was the breeze stronger up there
She was holding her secret
She holds it close to her ever-slowing heart
"Tell him I love him, he was the only one who cared"
She never saw the tears from friends
The tears of love that may have let her live

~Chorus~
Darkness, can you feel it?
It's all around you, closing in
Never admitting we want to be saved (please help me)
Darkness, solitude
Darkness, solitude
Can you save me?
Will you give me what I desperately crave inside?

~Verse 5~
Slowly they see this secrete
The secrete that started her end
How could they have been so blind?
Why couldn't they see through her false smile?

~Chorus~
Darkness, can you feel it?
It's all around you, closing in
Never admitting we want to be saved (please help me)
Darkness, solitude
Darkness, solitude
Can you save me?
Will you give me what I desperately crave inside?

Eating me alive,
I'm eating me alive
It's eating me alive
This deep, dark secrete
This damn deep, dark secrete
These damn deep, dark secretes
