Have often reproached me
For not opening up enough
They wanna scratch off this bark
And melt all my glaciers
Catch a glimpse of what's hiding behind
This dark and distant gaze
They know the façade hides
A soul weighed down with exhaustion
I stay secret, I admit it
But maybe I've got my reasons
For letting my mouth speak so little
Maybe it's better
That inside my head the black
Has taken over every color
Or maybe I'm deathly scared
If they knew how many times
I've only wanted death
That I'm weak deep inside
I keep relighting the torch
That I'm just waiting for a sign from God
I keep breathing fire
So I escape into my music
Every night in my car
Begging it to push away my fog
So I suffer and keep quiet
What's the point of you knowing
That on my roads I'm lost
I resent the world with all I am
Because it profaned my dreams
Nearly all of them rest in peace
Yeah, I suffer and keep quiet
My pains will stay mute
I don't plan to share them with you
Afraid I'd lose myself in them
But I suffer and keep quiet
I even end up crying sometimes
I know any man
I've got no shame admitting to you
That I don't know where I stand
That I try to hide it
I'm a guy way too sensitive
I'm scared this life
Will never fit me
I'm only thirty years old
I tell myself that's something
That at any moment
In my life I might skid
That I'll dig into the mystery
As I'm still standing, yeah
So I hang on, brother
I play the game of existence
I accept and I bow
I put up little resistance
I don't really know what's coming
We'll see, but I've learned
Not to count on luck
My sufferings will serve me
Why they hit full force
And why it burns in my gut
And my stars fall
Behind each of my smiles
There are a thousand fears
It's been a long time now
That on my roads I'm lost
I'm searching, I'm cornered
As time goes by
I hide my wounds
On my roads I'm lost
My mouth keeps staying closed
But I suffer and keep quiet
