This boat
that I took, one day
that took me, one day
burns
at my feet

that carried me, one day
that carried me
far
that carried me
far

This silence
that took me, one day
that understood me, one day
speaks
in my head

of a life to find
of ghosts
to chase
of ghosts
to chase

So I'm going to leave
so I'm going to stay
so I'm going to be quiet
so I'm going to speak
from you to me
don't press
it hurts there

This journey
that I made, silent
that made me, silent
hides
a stain
a shame
a wound
an interruption
a humiliation
These faces
that I held, in check
that held me, in check
melt
under my wheels

little by little
under my tires

So I'm going to leave
so I'm going to stay
so I'm going to be quiet
so I'm going to speak
from you to me
don't press
it hurts there
so bad there
so bad...

Never knew how to say hello never knew how to say goodbye
never recognized my face in the mirror
never really understood where I came from
never told you how much you saved me

never had the courage of simplicity
nor the intelligence of lightness
never had the talent for nonchalance
nor the ability to smile at the tricks of a scoundrel

but I know what my name is and this life that traces
blows me brazenly: you will find your place

So I'm going to leave
so I'm going to stay
