Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · Words that carry their weight
Verse
A page can hold a question
without closing up the sky.
I turn to the ambiguous pronoun
and let the quick reply pass by.
Refrain
Give the little word a thing it can hold.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
