I’m shedding off an old skin Putting down old habits Putting on a new skin Reclaiming my past Pacified. Under empire Crucified by its strenght I’m shaping up a new skin Craving for a new deal Regaining a new me Revealing a new joy I’m forgetting the things i’ve learned I’m forgetting the things i’ve seen The words i said. The words i mumbled The words i screamed. The words i whispered Free of past. The old figures Freed from darkness. From the dead ends Refuelled by the sea Refuelled by the sun Refuelled with life Exhaustion that makes you stronger I’m standing still just like nature I’m standing still like a still life Watch me! I’m a still life. I’m overwhelmed! Feels like high tide Northern winds lift me up Watch me! I’m rising up! I’m overwhelmed by a tide of light! Fuelled by a garden of life

What you gonna do with these guns in your hands? What you gonna say when he finally comes clean? Why do you keep staring at the sky? What you aiming for? Going for the moon?!? Watcha waiting for sitting at the crossroad? Don’t you know these paths lead to nowhere? Why you're throwing stones at the clouds? Did you strike a deal with him? Will you come clean? Would i come clean? Will i come clean? Come clean. Be clear. Will you ever go clear? Makes me shiver. Makes me tremble. Makes me worry. Makes me dizzy. Makes me drunker. Makes me dreamier. Oh! Inner Voices…
