What would you say

If I unfold my life like a book to you

Which words would be spoken out loud

Or the ones you fear and bury to the ground

I will give you pain and roots

Show the beautiful truth

So tell me do you fear me now

Or still want to be at my side

Don't leave me alone now

I hold you just a little while

Don't leave me alone now

But now it's time to say goodbye

Now write on my skin

This frail moment

Our life with a single word

Don't you ever

Show it to me

Make sure that no one ever finds it

Show me the hope and the pure will to do

And how to believe in something new

The thing that I can't be to you

I build my fortress on dignity and strength

But my throne is quiet and empty

I'm longing for you

We are breathing dust

Inside this house of shame
