These are just words
With no real consequence
These words I speak
They mean nothing
But I strive for more
A different way of
Overcoming spite and fear
Another me
Now from afar
I see the reason of it all
I see the past in what's to come
Taken away
Swallowed by shadows
Only to be born again
Seeing the same things
But with another eye
Another me
I have never felt so clear
Could it be that I'm gone
I have never felt so clean
Could it be that I'm gone
Am I still myself
Breath, that uncertainty
Makes no sense at all
I’m the same as you
Only so much better now
If you don't see what I have seen
Past and future
In a circle
Words you speak of
Have no meaning
You are two but I am one now
You are two but I am one now
Shed skin behind
Drawn myself into the same melody
To come back again
With another way to
Feel disguised and real
If you don't see what I have seen
Past and future in a circle
Words you speak of have no meaning
You are two but I am one now
You are two but I am one now
You are two but
But I realize
