Say it loud, say it proud
‘cause noone can hear you
Say what you need to say
And then lick it shut ‘cause
Whatever you are, whatever you dream
This letter is a silent scream
Wherever you hide, wherever you go
Noone will ever know

This is the burden that you never asked for
This is a secret but you'll keep it no more
‘Cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever
This dead letter

Tempted by the questions why
Like longings of a child
But paper can't deny
even the calmest fire so…
Whatever you know, whatever you don't
And all points in between
Whatever you feel whenever you see
The things you shouldn't show

This is the burden that you never asked for
This is a secret and you'll keep it no more
‘Cause on the cover it reads; open never, close forever
This dead letter

But should your package open
For stranger's eyes
Your sanctuary broken
All hope will die

Whatever
Whatever you are
Whatever

This is the burden that you never asked for
This is the love that you don't care anymore
This is the hurt that you won't carry inside
This is the damage that you no longer hide
‘Cause on the cover it reads: Open never…Close forever
This dead letter
