Number

I write that date down

You see numbers in there

I lost the capacity now 

To tell you what's in there

I hide a day in there 

For you to look deeper 

That's why its a number in there

Words are cheaper...

I watched the wind rush

I watched how it rained 

I stood in the warm, dark room 

Watching myself die again

I put a number in there

A number I might hate 

For you its probably nothing but a date

I stand for you, I stand for me

I stand as it all crumbles down

With that drop of ecstasy 

You expect better, I expect better 

So I put a number in there

Because I will never send this letter.
