Secret Lyrics by Firewater

The Man on the Burning Tightrope

2003

Everybody talks
But nobody understands
And everyone takes
Just as much as they can
But at the top of the stairs
There's a room with a key
'Cause I got a secret inside of me

And everybody's lost
And nobody's found the path we should walk
Across this treacherous ground
But I go where I like
And I do what I please
Because I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

And everybody comes and everybody goes
When your number comes up, nobody ever really knows
But my eyes are wide open and my conscience is clean
'Cause I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

Seems like everything I do
Everything I play
Everything I try
Every single day
Always seems to come out backwards for me

Meanwhile, everybody laughs
Everybody lies
Everybody lives
Everybody tries
Just to make it through another day

And if everyone'd shut up, maybe I could hear myself scream
'Cause I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away

Seems like everything I do
Everything I play
Everything I try
Every single day
Always seems to come out backwards for me

Meanwhile, everybody laughs
Everybody lies
Everybody lives
Everybody tries
Just to make it through another day

And everybody comes
And everybody leaves
And everyone tries
But nobody sees
But I'm never gonna give up
I'll never give into (?)the grief(?)
Because I got a secret inside of me
And I'm gonna lock it away
Yeah, I got a secret inside of me
And no one can take that away
