Shadow

Sitting down in the gutter, I hate myself

Feeling small, trying to seem even smaller

The world is enormous so why should this matter

Just one shadow and still it's the biggest shame

On the edge of a breakdown

I reached my hand to my shadow

Got something to hold on to

And I opened my knots...

But there's no thrill in this struggle, it's useless

I lost a long time ago right when I started

But I'm invisible, I'm invincible

Just as long as the shadow is around me

I'm the ruler of myself...

In the shadows, in the shadows

In the shadows I'm ruling myself

[I kiss your arm, I can see your delight]

You're just a flattering snake

[Obey me or I'll have to shatter your wires]

I know I can be on my own

[I'll tell everyone how rotten you're inside]

There's still a reason to go on

[You can not leave me, I'll be part of your soul]

[Till the end of your time]

Is there someone to trust

For whom could I open my crust

Is there a place for me

Where I don't have to hide my needs

Shadows can't be seen in the dark

The dawn reveals my every inferiority

Turning, turning, turning around

I'm turning, turning, turning around again

I'm turning, turning around again

I'm turning, turning around...

Can you pull me under?

Can you hide my blunders?

There's no mercy on your face

When you challenge me to race

I need to learn not to cry

You think the only way to gain

Is to bravely face the pain

Cause the needles never lie

Turning, turning, turning around

I'm turning, turning, turning around again

I know the fight has just begun

All there's left's an endless run

But I'll go on towards the sun

And if I never leave the light

Maybe there's a chance to find

All that sacred and divine

Stop the childish hide and seek

Real perfection does not exist, no

Looking down I see my faithful follower

Others can leave me, but not my sister

Shadow behind me

Who knows me like she does

My guardian, only stability

Shadow appears if light meets life

It's a part of you from the beginning

It can be your power but keep it beneath

Cause the freedom can't see in the dark

Balance is the only true guide

You should never try to divide

There's no pure black and white

Honest innocence nor spite

Everything has the counter side

Shadow, shadow - You're watching me down in the

Shadow, shadow - You're watching me down in the

Shadow, shadow - You're watching me, I see you smile
