Lock and Key

You're a member of a very exclusive club.
We call ourselves "Lock and Key."
We meet at an undisclosed location at random hours.
Even we rarely know where we are.

We know everything about everyone, all the time.
We are sworn secret keepers.
We hold that which grips your heart gently in our hands.
We hear every whisper that leaves your lips.
We caress it and soothe it. We give it a home.
It is in our cage. They all are.
We would never share it though, it is only for us.
Our ears. Our eyes.

Humanity cannot escape the atmosphere of sound.
We reflect that burning desire to be known.
We accept that need to be discreet.
We've felt the pang of remorse.
We've enjoyed a warm sigh of relief.
Come join us in keeping the world alive. Known.
Know everything but speak not a word, is our motto.
We could never reveal our secrets.

But we often talk about eachother behind our backs.
Petty theives in white garb.
Pathetic.
Empty.
Join us.
