Everybody talks   Nobody understands   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 is found   The pathway 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 everyone 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.
