A.u.s [English]

My name heard in fear
And yet gald – so glad – so glad
To hear it

Someone thinks of me –
what follows doesn’t matter (x2)
Whether injustice – or contempt
What follows doesn’t matter

I hear a word from your mouth
Everything in pain
My name in pain

My lips form words
But my tongue won’t articulate them
Fear strikes me dumb – so dumb
And holds me in pale folds

Missed opportunity
Words are wasted
Meaning is lost
Everything in pain
Rejection again…

I miss that freedom
That a lover does not know
Yet I miss the love
That receives the lover (x4)
