Lyrics

Hide It Away

If you got a secret Well, everybody knows it If you come and tell me Well, how am I supposed to hold it? It's been burning in the sunlight It's been laughing in the silence There's a life to it now Some quick, uncanny life Every angry angel Every burning bush Just turn your back on them It's all a little much Well, I'm not talking 'Cause I don't feel like lying And if you stay silent We can walk on in silence You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long If they're calling your name, well, you don't have to answer If they're knocking at your door, well, you don't have to answer If they say it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer And if you know it's a crime, well, you don't have to answer You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long Any half confession that I ever made Any false position is sprawled out on the page The cuts have stopped bleeding It's not right to be afraid But I can spare a shiver When they're walking on my grave You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long If they say it's a lie, well, you don't have to answer If you just close your eyes, well, you don't have to answer You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long If you got a secret Well, everybody knows it If you come and tell me Oh well, I'll try to hold it We can bury it in silence We can banish it to midnight It's no use watching all the others How the others could look so free? It's just money and power Money and power might set them free It's just money and power Money and power might set them free It's just money and power Money and power might set them free It's just money and power Money and power might set them free You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long You can hide it away, hide it away for so long You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long

Will Butler on Dork

Will Butler joins forces with Sister Squares for a new single, 'Willows'

The band have been touring together since 2015, and now, with 'Willows', they're officially collaborators.

Will Butler has shared two new songs, ‘A Stranger’s House’ and ‘Nearer To Thee’

It is his first new music since his departure from Arcade Fire earlier this year.

Will Butler has confirmed he's left Arcade Fire: "I’ve changed—and the band has changed—over the last almost 20 years"

He'd not appeared with the band at their recent surprise shows.

Will Butler: "I think of the record as a complex and satisfying stew"

Five years on from his solo debut, and Arcade Fire’s Will Butler is pondering his place in America, past and present.
