Edmund & Lucy

I'm still in the closet, silent
breathing softly
and I feel like laughing
you're in the room making silly jokes
to trick me
and winning at dark room
another year passes
and everything is back to how it was
excluded by others
included by you
I apologize if it's late
but between siblings, there are colder moments
and it's both our fault
luckily, we hold each other tight
in ice cubes
that we call traumas
 
it's too much time to start over
too much time to understand
too much time to handle
too little time to disappear
too much time without realizing
too little time with a father
too much crap to swallow
too many people to forgive
too much pain to love
few words to say
 
So don't you people leave me alone
because I'm still a bit scared
of not waking you up before going to school
and going down the stairs in silence with a lump in my throat
 
Edmund and Lucy locked in the wardrobe
we run away from the wolves
in the Mediterranean forests
they want to be like you and me
simply human
simply real
but it's not easy to be honest
and grow up so close
I tore out all the roots
left one and made a double knot
it's you I call when I hate myself
and you love me in a different way
the kindness of a gentle giant
now hug me and then take me away
 
if it's too much time to start over
too much time to understand
too much time to manage
too little time to disappear
too much time without realizing
too little time with a father
too much crap to swallow
too many people to forgive
too much pain to love
few words to say
 
so don't you people leave me alone
because I'm still a bit scared
of not waking you up before going to school
and going down the stairs in silence with a lump in my throat
and don't leave me alone
I'm still a bit scared
of not waking you up before going to school
and going down the stairs in silence with a lump in my throat
 
we play dark room
close your eyes if you're scared
while you take care of me
your arms a belt
 
and don't leave me alone
I'm still a bit scared
of not waking you up before going to school
and going down the stairs in silence with a lump in my throat
 
of not waking you up before going to school
