Lyrics for I Keep Mine Hidden

Hate, love and war Force emotions to the fore But not for me of course, of course I keep mine hidden, oh I keep mine hidden But it's so easy for you Because you let yours flail into public view Oh, oh Yellow and green, a stumbling block I'm a 20-digit combination to unlock With a password to be touched Meant to be mental I keep mine hidden The lies are so easy for you Because you let yours slide into public view Oh, oh
