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?
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
