Your Own Shadow

I pat myself on my shoulder I'm no longer a beholder I pat myself on my shoulder I'm no longer a beholder Today's a smile On my face every day Once my eyes were also grey I joined the game which we always play I joined the game which we always play I made a slice with all I hated It was a new myself what I created And I can give you one advice Believing in yourself is just the highest price We're searching deep down in the darkness The key which sets us free We learned to live with our own demons But I still cannot be Cannot be When every day feels the same And your own limit is passed Don't be afraid to be honest Leave behind all what lasts On the shoulders of your shadow (Your shadow) And do you leave the ship last? Or is it sinking too fast? Well, do you trust in yourself? So leave behind all your past Start bein' proud of your shadow (Your shadow) I asked myself These questions every day Will I find a place to stay? Or will I die in my misery? The power's dwindling more and more And I have knocked on every door I am searching (and) will I ever find Balance inside my mind? I'm searching all the time No opportunity was mine But suddenly doubt falls away from me I open up my mind It's an easy thing to find Balance inside of me to break free To break free To break free We're searching deep down in the darkness The key which sets us free We learned to live with our own demons But I still cannot be (Cannot be) When every day feels the same And your own limit is passed Don't be afraid to be honest Leave behind all what lasts On the shoulders of your shadow (Your shadow) And do you leave the ship last? Or is it sinking too fast? Well, do you trust in yourself? So leave behind all your past Start bein' proud of your shadow Your shadow
