If I told you how to read my words Would you be my company For a walk to the river of my dreams Where in the reflections I could show you Anything I've ever seen On a promenade through my mind At last I can pretend to understand That in this lesson that life Never gives up to teach me The centre quite obviously revolves Around the concepts Of not letting go Especially not when holding on to An illusion that raises a lifeform called "pain" To be sure no one sees What I still hold inside Like in a little boy's game I closed my eyes And hoped no one would see Without any faith I've tried to go on Seeking distractions in a random order But when at first it was just me Who always surrendered and returned This time it was you With a message of sound but not voice And a picture Which only the blind man I am Would recognize as art Can't you see what you're doing to me? Every single word you don't speak The seconds of silence Those eyes that live on in me Pry open the dark room That without a sign on the door Contains all my secrets Contains all my fears To be sure no one sees What I don't hold inside Like in a little child's game I closed my eyes And hoped no one would see And finally a name That even when forgotten Never really leaves Deep within keeps digging Taking away brick by brick The fortress I've built In every spare minute In a moment of life Devoid of all the things in it I wonder how long it will take Until it uncovers this secret I've been desperately Trying to hide Back then it worked But now things are different And now safely the toys are Tucked away in the attic With all the memories Of a child's innocence But now I'm sure As I've talked with my own And I was reassured That rules sometimes change To be sure no ones sees What I don't hold inside Like in a little child's game I still close my eyes Although I know that you see
