Run

Friends are untrue
always betray you

Hell is bright
Burn your eyes
By the light.

You rant and you rave
you won't pretend to be brave.
You trust them with truth
and they betray you.

In truth you can trust
not one of us.
We will destroy you
and never inform you.

Do not trust us
with your secrets.
We'll tell them to anyone
with half an ear.
We'll tell them to everyone
who can hear.

And so maybe hermits
have the right idea;
Tell your secrets only
to those who can't hear.
