Berlin

A sparrow in a storm,
fragile as the wealth that you hide in your heart
just wait a little more, stay until you run and the words tumble out
save your ransom,
leave your hand with the mother’s touch, take my chances
pay your sum but it’s far too much
are you aware, well, someone should tell you, are you aware, well,
someone should tell you
who
are you not aware of your love?
are you not aware of your love?
so say it to yourself
write it on your arm like it’s some kind of spell
I know when you’re alone,
I know your very thoughts when you’re drifting to sleep
save your ransom,
leave your hand with the mother’s touch, take my chances
pay your sum but it’s far too much
are you aware, well, someone should tell you, are you aware, well,
someone should tell you
who
you are
