PISUHA This Is My Silence

Beloved PISUHA is in place…
My silence is not emptiness. It's my absolute freedom

Strangers' shadows promised me cold and fear
They insisted: you need someone to build a home
But my foundation won't crumble to dust and ash
I burn this cage with a fire of my own

I close this door, leaving no keys behind
My steady pulse sounds stronger than a thousand minds

This is my silence! And I don't burn within
I am my own light! I am my own steel
I speed up my confident step to the skies
I don't regret a single severed thread I feel

My breath melts the edge of frozen mirrors
I don't search for a saving, cast-off glance
The free wind swept away all alien traces
No reasons, no excuses to go back

I break the silence, never dropping my eyes
My steady pulse sounds stronger than a thousand minds

This is my silence! And I don't burn within
I am my own light! I am my own steel
I speed up my confident step to the skies
I don't regret a single severed thread I feel

Tearing off masks, I walk alone into the dark
Neither betrayal nor void will break my will
With every step I carve out my own mark
And under my feet the bustle burns out still

Inhale. And on the exhale the grey shadow melts
I seek no support, no helping hand
From loneliness I create a new day
Whole. Solid. In spite of what you said

This is my silence! And I don't burn within
I am my own light! I am my own steel
I speed up my confident step to the skies
I don't regret a single severed thread I feel

I don't need someone to be whole
