We drag around a shadow with every step we take

And every bad decision, now also theirs to make

The thief that only borrows in a sea without the shark

But who protects the shadow from the dark?

A thousand different angles say the circles name in vain

Are we crucifying the savior or a masochist in pain

The knife without the handle, a shark without the sea

But who will give the shadow everything it needs?

And every rule we follow was also made to brеak

And everything we lеt go, there′s something else we take

A goal without ambition is a key without the lock

And who is there to listen when the shadow has to talk?

The time we take to wonder the point of being alive

The small talk we depend on like drinking piss to survive

The daughter of the addict wears her wedding dress to prom

And no one cares to find out where the shadow's coming from

The old interpretations of how everyone should look

The cold and spiteful rhetoric inspired by a book

And hate without tradition is Noah without the ark

And who protects the shadow from the dark?

Only feeling alone around people

Getting by, making it believable

Love without compassion is fire without a spark

But who protects the shadow, better than the dark?
