I am unwritten
– I’m unbooked
Can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
– Andikwazi ukufunda ingqondo yam, andichazwanga
I’m just beginning
– Sisanda kuqalisa
The pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned
– Pennywise into my hands, ending unconvincing
Staring at the blank page before you
– Ukujonga iphepha elingenanto phambi kwakho
Open up the dirty window
– Vula ifestile emdaka
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
– Vumela ilanga likhanyise amagama ongenakuwafumana
Reaching for something in the distance
– Ukufikelela into ekude
So close you can almost taste it
– Vala ungangcamla
Release your inhibitions
– Khupha izithintelo zakho
Feel the rain on your skin
– Yiva imvula kulusu lwakho
No one else can feel it for you
– Akukho namnye unako ukuva oko kuba kuni
Only you can let it in
– Nguwe kuphela onokukuvumela ukuba ungene
No one else, no one else
– Nobody else, nobody else
Can speak the words on your lips
– Uyakwazi ukuthetha amazwi emilebeni yakho
Drench yourself in words unspoken
– Breathe into words unboxed
Live your life with arms wide open
– Phila ubomi bakho ngeengalo ezivulekileyo
Today is where your book begins
– Namhlanje kulapho incwadi yakho iqala khona
The rest is still unwritten, yeah
– Still unbooked, yeah
Oh, oh
– Owu, owu
I break tradition
– Ndophula isithethe
Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines yeah, yeah
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndizama, ngaphandle kwemigca ewe, ewe
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes
– Siye salungiswa ukuba singazenzi iimpazamo
But I can’t live that way oh, oh
– Kodwa andinakuphila ngale ndlela oh, oh
Staring at the blank page before you
– Ukujonga iphepha elingenanto phambi kwakho
Open up the dirty window
– Vula ifestile emdaka
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
