Nothing To Hide 11/6/03
I don't want to know all you do behind closed doors
I don't want to see everything in your strongbox
If he can see it all, how can that be a good thing?
Why would we want to let him?
And I take my secret things and all the shameful things inside
me
And I lock the door behind me in my closet like an outhouse
And I see his eyes have made an opening and can see me even here
Wouldn't you resent that?
There's a reason I keep things hidden
For the safety of you and me
You don't know what I can be like sometimes
You don't want to know what I can be like sometimes
And I take my secret things and all the evil things inside me
And I hide them deep in a cave in a locked chest
And I see his eyes have made an opening and can see me even here
And so he knows me, why does he still want me?
And I go down to my chest to indulge in evil things
And I escape to my outhouse to indulge in shameful things
Why would he follow me here?
In my outhouse, He sheds light on every corner
And since I can't resist him, I give him my permission
And he unlocks my chest and I let him take the evil inside
Why would he want that?
And the evil doesn't harm him like it does me
And he's seen all my shame and he's taken all my guilt
And I wonder why he still loves me
But what can I do but accept?
And I have been set free
Because now I have nothing to fear
And I am not afraid to reveal myself
Because now I have nothing to hide
