A.u.s
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)
