The light in the window (pop version)

[Verse 1] The light in the window went out, and night has come again. I can take off the mask, I can simply become weak. I closed the door, the phone is on silent, Only my shadow and the quiet beating of my heart. I don't need words, I don't need consolation, I just need to cry out my tension. I cry quietly, so that it won't be heard By this world above, over my roof. [Chorus] In the silence I quietly cry, So that no one hears the scream of my soul. Among people I am strong, otherwise I simply couldn't survive in this wilderness. But now it's not scary to be weak, defenceless, My soul aches from their poisonous hatred. Tears will wash away the pain, for a moment it will become easier, Tomorrow the mask again, and again there will be nothing To breathe. [Verse 2] They only see a stone wall, They don't know how it trembles from the pain of captivity. I build this fortress persistently day after day, So they won't see how much pain I am in sometimes. And behind this mask – thin ice and cracks, And from the malice of others my soul is wounded. I am independent – that is their harsh verdict, But I am simply lonely, I am tired again. [Bridge - Melancholic] I know that dawn will bring relief, Will give me strength, faith, and patience again. Let the pain stay here, in this darkness, I will hide it deep, on an invisible line. And no one knows how long this night lasts, When I ask my heart – just go away. I search for weakness in myself, and I find only an ECHO, Because my weeping – it is not a hindrance to people. This is my deep pool, my silent river, Where in the darkness I am weak, and help is not needed. I will wash away the tears, straighten my shoulders proudly, No one will know how painful it was today. [Chorus] In the silence I quietly cry, So that no one hears the scream of my soul. Among people I am strong, otherwise I simply couldn't survive in this wilderness. But now it's not scary to be weak, defenceless, My soul aches from their poisonous hatred. Tears will wash away the pain, for a moment it will become easier, Tomorrow the mask again, and again there will be nothing To breathe. Outro [Conclusion] [Quietly, almost in a whisper] And tomorrow... again... I am strong... I am independent... And no one... no one will know... How quietly... my soul cried... In this silence... ...in complete silence... [Fade out]
