Say it loud, say it proud
â??cause noone can hear you.
Say what you need to say
And then lick it shut â??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 youâ??ll keep it no more.
â??Cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever.
This dead letter.
Tempted by the questions why
The longings of a child.
But paper canâ??t deny
even the calmest fire soâ?¦
Whatever you know, whatever you donâ??t
And all points in between.
Whatever you feel whenever you see
The things you shouldnâ??t show.
This is the burden that you never asked for.
This is a secret and youâ??ll keep it no more.
â??Cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever.
This dead letter.
But should your package open
For strangerâ??s eyes.
Your sanctuary broken
All hope will die.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Whatever.
This is the burden that you never asked for
This is the love that you donâ??t care anymore.
This is the hurt that you wonâ??t carry inside.
This is the damage that you no longer hide.
â??Cause on the cover it reads: Open neverâ?¦Close forever.
This dead letter.
