I want to rip my heart out with this demon,
And hand it to you wrapped with a ribbon.
Take your fingers now, open this gift,
Slowly and gently set my heart free.
Discover it, make it bloom,
Look inside every room-
The upper left one, where fear is sleeping,
The lower right where hopes are dreaming,
The lower left where love is aching,
And the upper right where soul is breaking.
Peel those walls layer by layer until you find the truth,
Come back to me now, and show me the proof,
That I'm ok and that I'm already healed,
That I'll never again be standing cold as steel.
That I can face this beast and look into her eyes,
That I can talk to those people and not tell those lies.
That I don't have to smile any more to cover up my tears,
That I can walk peacefully at night without feeling those
fears.
That now I'm a new-born and fully grown up,
That you can promise for sure that this running will stop.
So come on my darling, grab this heart,
Don't think twice- just tear it apart.
Now gently glue the pieces- one by one,
Until this heart is fully yours and this race is done.
