lyrics

I shall not hide my desire of silence with music
I shall not express it with volume-speaking silence
I won't dance, as I'm not a dancer
I won't dance away my silence to you
I will not fill this emptiness that inside me became a sound
As you never liked that sound in particular
I will not deceive you with the range
Because you know better than me I've got no range
I will not tell you about my childhood
Because I don't want to think about it anymore
Now is your turn, go ahead
We don't have all the time in the world
My greatest act of courage was coming up to the stage in 2019 and not pretending that I'm the new Alexandria
I will repeat
My greatest act of courage was coming up to the stage in 2019 and not pretending that I'm the new
My greatest act of courage was coming up to the stage when there was nothing left to do
And that's what I think: my greatest act of courage is not saying anything
And yet I shall take up this conversation, instead of throwing down the gauntlet
I won't shout anymore
I won't
Let's leave each other in peace
And this is the real test
If we can still listen to one another: what's up there
with you, what's up?
When the conversation is not about the great things
About little violence, about big traumas
This is the real test
If we can still listen to one another
How somebody feels
And why he's not saying
And why I'm not saying
Ask me how I'm feeling
I shall reciprocate it the same way
Let's talk to one another
Without the storm cloud of pressure above us
That we can only speak about things important
Carefully choose words
let's begin this conversation with sounds
That gives us pins and needles
Only you and me
A rescue for us is us
Let us talk like dogs do
There's too much of us in this world
Let us begin this conversation
I never wanted to be born
Ask me if I want to be still alive
Ask me
