Bilingual
It went so well for you
With a place right where you wanted
And the ones to fit it too
But some blow has baked a spell
That it hits you every day
Until you need to hit as well
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
And you have no thought of answers
Only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
All seemed fine with you
Until the struggle of ambition
Turned violence upon you
Sometimes the hidden side comes
When you're hiding in that avalanche
You need a place to run
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
And you have no thought of answers
Only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
I know there is no need for what's been done
I know there is enough for everyone
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
And there's never been a hand
Now did we ever care to be good?
While we lived in Eldorado
Did we find the good we should?
But really what is the truth?
My face is filled with anger
Which should only shine with youth
It's just a shadow of the people we should be
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see
And you have no thought of answers
Only questions to be filled
And it feels like hell
I know there is no need for what's been done
I know there is enough for everyone
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
And there's never been a hand out neither care
'Till the promise comes up dimming fit for arrival
We only get our back against the wall
Our looking glass was pushed to our foreheads
Stuck on many knives until
Murder's beginning
