Lyrics
Mysteries

She wants her mysteries back
Because the shadows make things beautiful
She wants her mysteries back
Because without them she can never be whole

Once again she is an open book
Her heart and soul lie open
For anyone to take a look
Sharing is not the same as giving yourself away
They cannot take control if they don’t know your name
Or so they say

It had happened so many times before
It would not happen this time
Or anymore or so she swore
This time she would take and maintain control
She’d give her body but she would not give her soul
Or so I'm told

And then the open book
Turned to the last page
Like a spotlight
On the open stage
The fear and the shame
The pain and the rage
This was a war
She could no longer wage
She gave her last bow
She gave ‘em one more look
She turned the flowers ‘round
And closed the book

She got her mysteries back
You know the shadows make things beautiful
She got her mysteries back
And we will never know quite what the shadows hold.
