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
