Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, cant shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
Ima rip this shit till my bone collapse.


"Shadow of Myself"


(Verse 1)


I look at others actions,
And I look at mine.
I try to figure out how to define,
Myself as I read inbetween the lines.
Am I happy with life,
Am I really just fine.
Or am I just waiting,
For my moment to shine.
I try and look back at all the signs,
But confusion is all I seem to find.
Am I going insane,
Am I loosing my mind.
Do I see everything clear,
Or am I blind.
Will I keep moving forward,
Or will I fall behind.
Unanswered questions,
Seem to haunt my mind.
It's killing me to wonder,
Just exactly what I will find.


(Chorus)


Into the mirror,
I look deep inside.
Loo at these feelings,
That I always hide.
I feel like the old me,
Has long sense died.
If I said I knew myself,
Then I probably lied.
My motivation is gone.
I've lost the will to fly.
And even when i do,
I don't know how high.
I have so many questions,
In my mind.
I look at he shadow of myself,
And ask it why.


(Verse 2)


All the regrets,
And each mistake.
All the emotions,
That I faked.
Why do I wonder,
Everytime I wake,
Asking myself,
About the chocies I make.
I look at my reflection,
On the murky lake.
And realize everything,
Thats at stake.
And i can't forget,
The feelings just wont shake.
But I dont know anymore,
What path to take.
Should I follow my dreams,
Or just give in now.
I need to decide,
But I dont know how.
I want to acheive,
All this life will allow.
Am I strong like a bull,
Or am I weak like a cow.
Should I wait for a sign,
Or should I act right now.


(Chorus)


Into the mirror,
I look deep inside.
Loo at these feelings,
That I always hide.
I feel like the old me,
Has long sense died.
If I said I knew myself,
Then I probably lied.
My motivation is gone.
I've lost the will to fly.
And even when i do,
I don't know how high.
I have so many questions,
In my mind.
I look at he shadow of myself,
And ask it why.


(Verse 3)


How do I get through
Not knowing who I am
How can you move forward,
When you dont have a plan.
Everytime the burning stops,
I jump back into the pan.
I dont wanna be,
Just like any other man.
I wanna change the world,
But I dont know if I can.
When I look to the past,
Will I wonder why i ran.
When you don't know who you are.
How do you ask yourself,
I Don't know what i want,
Self happyness or wealth.
All these thoughts,
Are effecting my health.
I sit back and look,
At pictures on the shelf.
And try to define,
The shadow of myself.


(Chorus)


Into the mirror,
I look deep inside.
Loo at these feelings,
That I always hide.
I feel like the old me,
Has long sense died.
If I said I knew myself,
Then I probably lied.
My motivation is gone.
I've lost the will to fly.
And even when i do,
I don't know how high.
I have so many questions,
In my mind.
I look at he shadow of myself,
And ask it why
