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
