Express yourself, they say, for it is an-
X-ray into the soul, a window into the mind;
Perforation of your privacy
Report-writing, note-taking;
Even what is said in confidence is documented
So I shut my mouth with fear
Sew it up with silken lies
I won't let you in, not into my world
Only if you promise to keep it to yourself
Never trust a know it all- they tell it all as well.
X-ray into the soul, a window into the mind;

Sew it up with silken lies

Only if you promise to keep it to yourself
Never trust a know it all- they tell it all as well.
