Open Secret

Does everyone have their dark side

Like the backside of a lover's moon

Do we cry out for justice at sunrise?

To be cleansed by confessions at noon, have mercy

Still my heart is an open secret

Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed

Just as we seem to end the one act play

We draw so much farther apart

Each new opening, a different time for closing

Will I sing my last symphony to an empty room, empty room?

Still my heart is an open secret

Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed

Most of my life has gone up and down

And I don't see no reason for all this pain

Who was it said, "Life is too short"

All this hurtin' just makes it seem a shame

Still my heart is an open secret

Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed
