Top Secret

If I were to be tattooed, like an apple
Sweet, faint, poisonous things
What I want to hide is something trivial
Someone, please smile at me like this

A small view, a clue, and misleading words
Just because they're connected doesn't mean I'm telling the truth

Like a red, red, red, red apple
In that sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet temptation
Beyond the long, long, long regret
Is there something there?

The sun, the sea, a kiss, the future
Is it forbidden to imagine them?
Listening carefully to unseen enemies
The thought of being scared makes me want to vomit

Even if I'm hit once or twice
I'll be fine and lie again, won't I?

If I shine a white, white, white, white light
I'll blend into that dark, dark, dark, dark shadow
Will some small, small, small secret be beautified?
Will something change?

Thrown into a red, red, red, red lie
Floating again in a pale, pale, pale, pale tear
Even if I carry a deep, deep, deep burden
I can't stop

I may not have loved or been loved
But I'll accept everything I've gained and seen
No matter what lies hurt or hurt me
I'll protect what needs to be protected

What I want to protect is something precious
Even if someone smiles, I'll protect it
