Dead letter

Say it loud, say it proud

`cause noone can hear you.
Say what you need to say
And then lick it shut `cause

Whatever you are, whatever you dream
This letter is a silent scream.
Wherever you hide, wherever you go

Noone will ever know.

This is the burden that you never asked for

This is a secret but you`ll keep it no more.
`cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever.
This dead letter.


Tempted by the questions why
Like longings of a child.

But paper can`t deny
Even the calmest fire so
Whatever you know, whatever you don`t

And all points in between.
Whatever you feel whenever you see
The things you shouldn`t show.


This is the burden that you never asked for.
This is a secret and you`ll keep it no more.

`cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever.
This dead letter.


But should your package open
For stranger`s eyes.
Your sanctuary broken

All hope will die.

Whatever.

Whatever you are.
Whatever.


This is the burden that you never asked for
This is the love that you don`t care anymore.
This is the hurt that you won`t carry inside.

This is the damage that you no longer hide.
`cause on the cover it reads: open never close forever.
This dead letter.
