Why should all the wise survive
When nothing is what it may seem?
Why do all the living die

When only the dying remain?
Helpless are the broken wishes
Dashed upon the window pane


So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch

Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom
You needed so much


Do you hide away from me?
There's nothing here you should ignore

Do you close your eyes on me?
You've made that mistake once before
Helpless are the shattered wishes

Dashed upon the window pane

So close! But I'm one step ahead

My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom

You needed so much

Search far, search wide

Lying down is not a matter of pride
Look hard, look deep
Never try to take this line of retreat

Don't let the !@$(s grind you down

So close! But I'm one step ahead

My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long
I stole the freedom you needed so much

So close! But I'm one step ahead
My shadow is all you will touch
Too late! You waited too long

I stole the freedom
I know that you needed so much
