[Verse 1] I wake up My heart is racing The room is silent. But I’m searching for a skill. Images no one else sees One breath before everything closes in I count the cracks in the wall As if this were a foreign land The floor is soft The ceiling is close And I see everything before me as if it were back again. [Chorus] There are shadows inside me That only I can truly feel Old images starting all over again I’m heading straight for them—there’s no escape. So much noise from a time long past. I know I have to go through it again And I’m ready for it [Verse 2] I laugh along But I can barely feel myself Standing beside me As if I were in a dream A wrong word A scent A glance And already it throws me back I’m looking for the way out of this labyrinth I hold tight to my inner child. [Chorus] There are shadows inside me That only I can truly feel Old images that start all over again I’m heading straight for them—there’s no escape. So much noise from a time long past I know I have to go through it again And I’m ready to do so [Verse 3] Everything locked away and stowed away. I thought I could do it and even believed it myself. I never managed to draw a line under it. I’m doing this for myself to escape this nightmare. [Chorus] There are shadows inside me But today I share them with you I’ve carried this burden for so long. Without you, I couldn’t bear it. All alone all this time But you’re sitting here with me, ready for anything. Until I slowly start to feel myself again: I am more than what I used to be Now let’s walk through this door together
