There is no word
That is torn away
Can be spoken again
If even the letters are afraid to become words
Struggle to turn it into a sentence
To pretend you can speak
When there's nothing left of your soul
To be true

I'm looking for the tree
That grew with me from birth
To see if I can find the answer
It could be anything
Let my tortured heart speak
So many burnt words
I have not done

Give me a reason to cry
I can't do it alone
Shout every punch
What was a clue to the heart
Don't take the right
Give me a reason to cry

Smile so you don't have to explain
Why you want to please me
I want to hold you close
All that's worth nothing
Give me something to hold on to
And make a difference

I want to rattle
To scream
My throat's sore
Let the words leave me
And let the ropes break
I feel my body rising
For things that have been unimportant
I have lived
I was afraid
I have not spoken
but now I want to speak.
