A recorded reading of “Midnight Keeps My Secrets”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
The dark has hands That never pry, It lets me weep Without asking why. I bloom in silence, Rooted in shade— The light is sharp, But night is made To hold what aches, To hush what burns— A place where shame No longer turns.
Lyrics
I don’t tell the moon What I did tonight She already knows From the way I write My mirror saw But it won’t speak I bleed my truths When the world's asleep The dark is soft The dark is kind It wraps around What light would find Midnight keeps my secrets Tucks them under stars Hides the heat of hunger Behind invisible scars I wear the silence Like a second skin Where no one asks Where I’ve been Midnight keeps my secrets Like an old, sweet sin My voice gets low When no one’s near I dance with ghosts That taste like fear The candles melt But never judge They’ve seen it all And never budge The dark is soft The dark is kind It forgives things That daylight minds Midnight keeps my secrets Tucks them under stars Hides the heat of hunger Behind invisible scars I wear the silence Like a second skin Where no one asks Where I’ve been Midnight keeps my secrets Like an old, sweet sin What I whisper here Would break in light But shadows keep My edges right Midnight keeps my secrets Where it’s always true Where I can be The darker hue I don’t need light To feel complete My secrets bloom Where shadows meet
