lyrics

Go ahead

Throw it away
The time you gave us to this day
Cover them wounds with cheap patches while I heal mine
Tell yourself you’re fine
Celebrate your suppression, go ahead, swallow down these lies
Till they blow up in your frail little stomach, taken by surprise

This circle of shame-driven secrets around you
Is getting dangerously narrow, so narrow

Go, turn away
From old ideals which you betray
Lose yourself in the nearest arms – best friends, cold comfort
This freedom you crave for now is just an illusion
A gift you already had but overlooked in your confusion

This circle of shame-driven secrets will narrow
What you don’t conclude will become your shadow

I am walking tall, knowing the day will come
The day it all falls back to you
I am walking tall, knowing the day will come
The day your shadow overwhelms you

This day will come

‘What a pitty’ I would say, if I still gave a fuck
Have fun on your long way
You poor devil, just go ahead

I am your shadow, I stay your shadow
They are your shadow, they stay your shadow
