Identity

You don’t know my true colours
You don’t know anything about me
You don’t know my identity

You don’t know all my answers
You don’t know why my laughter
You don’t know my identity

You don’t know the scars on my face
You don’t know the footsteps I trace
You don’t know my identity

Watch all your calculations
Stop jumping in my situation
You don’t know my identity

Come by and knock on my door
I’ll get to know you a bit more
We can both breathe serenity

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
I’m waiting for some company

Forget the days of your conscience
It’s time to break the silence
Let’s try to find our identities

You don’t know my identity…
