Every word is just a frame,
A dusty object, a simple name,
An empty brick in a giant wall;
Remove one and the rest will fall.
We build them high without concern
If others hear what we want to say.
Nobody breaks them to find the truth;
Everyone in a comfortable, empty womb…
Give one a meaning and it weights more,
Powerful enough to bring down the wall.
And once it’s down, you can finally see
Prisons of empty words we all live in.
