Where do the words go?
When they beat around the bush
When they look for the right place
To reach you
When they get lost and come back
When they are there, eternal
Where do the words go?

Where do the words go?
From the slide, view from above
Those that slide on your skin
That no longer echo
Those that throw themselves against a wall
That you take in the face
Where do the words go?

Those that impose themselves
That we dispose of
Those that heal us
Those that testify

Where do the words go?
When they touch us in the heart
When they give themselves heartily
I see all the colors
And when they remain whispers
That they are tough
Where do the words go?

Where do the words go?
When they undress us
When they start to run
At the end of the ballpoint pen
When they know we're waiting for them
When they throw stones at us
Where do the words go?

Those that resist
Who give up
Those that resonate
And poison

Where do the words go?
From your summit, all the way up there
When they flatter and rock you
Then turn their coat
When they leave you a silence
An emptiness, an absence
Where do the words go?

Where do the words go?
When they are on the same theme
When they push and bother each other
That they need oxygen
When they are blue, sound false
When they sing out loud
Where do the words go?
Those that make us
And unmake us
Those that save us
When everything is saved
