π Lyrics
(Look at yourself)
(Are you proud of your creation?)
(Think of all the times they would've needed you)
(And you weren't there)
(You'll end up alone)
(If you carry on this show)
This empty room keeps me awake by screaming violent whispers
They're haunting me with all their needs
They remind me of all the forgotten deeds
The words I say, the moves I make are like from a screenplay
I found myself thinking about my choices
And everything I had to give up
I have given away Π΅verything to build this house of cards
It can easily be overthrown by a small mistake
How can I still believe in fairytale which is too good to be true?
Can I stand the blow when I'll face the raw reality?
How to rely on an unstable mind?
If I chose wrong, is it hard to let go?
Always between the slope and the gorge
How can I see what is the right road?
I might move on or run into a wall
No guarantees, this is a free fall
No one ever talks about the ransom of creativity
I haven't let anyone come too close
So, I'm accused of being as cold as a stone
Tired of explaining myself 'cause I know that it will end
In complaining about what I have said and done
I can't blame those who have left me alone
I know, silver is not as heavy as gold
I chose this way of life and I will pay the highest price for it
How can I prove that I ain't heartless?
Even if I'm not there, it doesn't mean that I don't care
I always had a bad conscience about what I've done
(When trying to fit in a mold that has been designed for me)
(I fear that my perception of myself will be distorted)
Somehow it has always been me who had to be understanding
Get along with the thought that how I see the world is wrong
I can't ever get others to accept the fact
That I just can't change myself
(Are you proud of your creation?)
(Think of all the times they would've needed you)
(And you weren't there)
It's like gambling, all or nothing
There is no golden mean
I've been chasing blindly what is the most important thing for me
And I can't live without of it
I have given away everything to build this house of cards
It can easily be overthrown by a small mistake
How can I still believe in fairytale which is too good to be true?
Can I stand the blow when I'll face the raw reality?
How to rely on an unstable mind?
If I chose wrong, is it hard to let go?
Always between the slope and the gorge
How can I see what is the right road?
I might move on or run into a wall
No guarantees, this is a free fall
Always between, oh
The slope and the gorge
No guarantees, oh
This is a free fall
How to rely on an unstable mind?
If I chose wrong, is it hard to let go?
(Are you proud of your creation?)
(Think of all the times they would've needed you)
(And you weren't there)
(You'll end up alone)
(If you carry on this show)
