Will help me, when I’m locked-up inside
I’m a slave to these things, that don’t even have a name
But they keep holding me back, from doing anything at all
Ooh, it’s hard to fight an enemy
Without a name, without a face, with no definition
That might be a part of me
And still, I need to fight this enemy
Give it a name, a definition, and look it in the eyes
To master this part of me
I’m lost with myself, there will be no freedom
Nothing that can save me, if I can’t control myself
So I need to face these things, that don’t even have a facenow
That I don’t yet understand, that keep holding me back
ooh, it’s hard to fight an enemy
Without a name, without a face, with no definition
That might be a part of me
And still, I need to fight this enemy
Give it a name, a definition, and look it in the eyes
To master this part of me
And now, it is time to face my shadow
Give it a name, a definition, and look it in the eyes
To master this part of me
And now, it’s truly time to face my shadow
Give it a name, a definition, and look it in the eyes
To be the fullest me that I can be
It’s time to stop running, stop hiding from myself
To search for what’s holding me back, and face it like an adult
If I can face these thing, if I can face myself
Then I can find a way, then I can be myself(X2)
