[00:00.710]Sighs in the blackest black abiding
[00:05.278]As soon as one dies one is rising
[00:11.721]With the night so dark and cold
[00:13.830]The wishes I make are swallowed up and hidden away
[00:22.810]Breath of the whitest white is
[00:26.255]What I most wish to say down deep now inside
[00:33.921]Can a voice so numb and cold have some song to sing
[00:38.643]It could be false or reality
[00:44.502]The things I like or hate or things I want to gain
[00:50.016]Whatever's feeling good is what my lines would say
[00:55.973]For setting off the black from white it'd work perfectly
[01:01.118]Though like a chant of ruination it'd be
[01:07.764]Why did I think that since
[01:10.230]I'd studied the latest schoolbook I'd know clearly
[01:18.525]What's right from what's wrong and which is which one
[01:23.521]That I could choose I could really know
[01:29.317]I live according to stage-right stage-left exit
[01:34.493]Improvisation's not been in my bag of tricks
[01:40.492]So much of what I want to say pours out noisily
[01:45.856]But never when you're not here alone with me
[01:49.953]What I know that I hold in my hands I want to set free
[01:55.348]Think of how much lighter you and I would feel then
[02:01.124]Every word every wall every curse
[02:03.310]And sparing nothing strip it
[02:06.935]Take it all away to once again see eye to eye
[02:33.311]The things I like or hate or things I want expect
[02:38.837]Though if I let them out I think what happens next
[02:44.743]Well setting off the white from black is fearful indeed
[02:50.042]It's even more so when you live honestly
[02:54.536]This life is long so long the world is wide I say
[03:01.103]And when we've freedom won it all becomes one gray
[03:07.048]Yes happiness unhappiness it's only the heart
[03:12.314]That knows no quietude that makes itself known
[03:17.510]While an adult can keep a secret alone
