Dad I Wish I Could Tell This
I'm humming in the dark
I hear the screaming
My soul gave out
Don't give it to him
To torture her
He encouraged my heart to break
Say it
A few words
A few years
Tears that have gathered and stuck inside
Give it to me, give it back
What cannot be
Leave me alone,
Let me go
No more words
I've found a way to live
Don't take me for a fool
I'm not your child anymore
Take me away with words
Bury me in your rage
So I won't look in the mirror
Howl me to dust
So I won't say a word
That would evoke your pain
Drowned in tears
The many salty wounds
I disguise you as false
Few not many
More than what it is
Blame yourself
Imitate tomorrow
I can't
Not because I told you
I've told everything
True and false
You're not stupid You're always right
But it would be right to say...
I hear the screaming
