What do I do to ignore whats behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams

And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right moves but I´m lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself

I can´t hold on
To what I want when I´m stretched so thin
It´s all too much to take in
I can´t hold on
To anything watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I
Turn my back I´m defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they´ll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I´ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I´ll be outrun
If I´m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I´ll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

How do you think I´ve lost so much
I´m so afraid I´m now out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don´t you know
I can´t tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can´t seem to convince myself why
I´m stuck on the outside
