sitting on the bed
or lying on the floor
face the truth
and open your mouth

word for word
your sentence's built
light your heart
and yell it out
the dam breaks while you talk

a meaningless face infront of you
silence for a minute
then a short laugh
an unreal grin upon a face of fear

you've said it a thousand times
no one ever believed you
but they can't deny
you've said it
although they are deaf to your words
and to their true meaning
they've heard you cry

this is the way how it goes
I've seen it a thousand times
and you'll, too
if you open your mouth
to tell
