Alles Unter Schmerzen (A.U.S.)

Hearing my name with fear
And yet happy - so happy - so happy
To hear it
Mine is remembered - what follows is all the same
Whether injustice - whether contempt
What follows is all the same

I hear a word from your mouth
All under pain
My name under pain

My lips form words
But the tongue does not strike them
Fear keeps me silent - so silent
And keeps me wrapped colorless
Chance missed
Remark wasted
Meaning lost
All under pain
Rejection follows again...

I miss that freedom
That a lover does not know
But I miss the love
That receives the loved
