Lyric

I stay quiet, but subtitles roll

Every word I never spoke

It’s always me who takes the loss

Just by being involved at all

If I don’t raise my hand and say

“I’m here, I’m a human too”

I’ll be buried like a hole in the sand

Rain falls, lips begin to shake

Whispering, hoping so hard

For the sky to clear again

I want to tell you clouds will part

So you can soften and finally smile

Let happiness speak through someone

Doesn’t have to be my voice

Let me be a ventriloquist

Open up the sealed-up heart

I only say the coldest things

An empty pool where shadows sink

Papa and Mama’s puppet voice

Why did I hurt them back then?

“You did,” I answer to myself

Still struggling not to drown in blame

Not someone’s fault? That’s a lie

If feelings had a shape

They’d be a puppet on a string

Bathe in joy, be strong again

Say aloud what feels absurd

This is the storm inside the heart

I pray for its rebirth

I want to tell you clouds will part

So you can soften and finally smile

Let happiness speak through someone

Doesn’t have to be my voice

Let me be a ventriloquist

Open up the sealed-up heart

Let me speak what you can’t say

Even if the voice isn’t mine
