Would I be cleansed by your dirty words?
After all your criticisms were heard
Would I be loved? Would I be understood?
Not by you alone, but also by myself

When all apologies have been made
Would I be allowed to start anew?
You, who claim to see the dung in the food I eat
Wouldn't you at least spare me a moment of enlightenment?

Would all the pain I've come to know in this lifetime
Make me the person you've longed for all your life?
Would my tarnished confidence be good as new?
Would innocence return to purify this soul?

Answers I keep digging up
In this ground only dirt have I touched
Yet there's no sight of what I came here to find
Have you the answers to these double-edged questions I have in mind?
