[Verse 1] The room is quiet but the air is loud You hide your shadow in a shifting crowd I see the hesitation in your eyes The careful whispers and the soft disguise But I don't play with a hidden hand I draw the line right where we stand [Pre-Chorus] No armor left, no games to play I shed the skin of yesterday I am old enough to know the fire To name the hunger and the deep desire [Chorus] I put my cards on the table *Mit offenem Visier* I am standing stable Right here I’m not a little girl lost in the dark I was the ember, now I am the spark So look: the hand that I deal This is real [Verse 2] You count your options like a silver coin Waiting for the stars to perfectly align But time is moving through a slender glass And golden moments have a trend to pass I taste the danger when you look at me A beautiful, unraveling mystery [Pre-Chorus] No armor left, no games to play I shed the skin of yesterday I am old enough to know the fire To name the hunger and the deep desire [Chorus] I put my cards on the table *Mit offenem Visier* I am standing stable Right here I’m not a little girl lost in the dark I was the ember, now I am the spark So look: the hand that I deal This is real [Bridge] Soft to the touch, but I won’t break It’s a beautiful risk that I’m glad to take I am vulnerable, yes, but I am strong And I’ve been waiting for this far too long No safety net, no place to hide Step inside [Chorus] I put my cards on the table *Mit offenem Visier* I am standing stable Right here I’m not a little girl lost in the dark I was the ember, now I am the spark So look: the hand that I deal This is real [Outro] Mit offenem Visier... The cards are down. Your move.
