lyrics

I wanna know what goes on
when the curtains are pulled.
I hope it's what I think,
I hope I know what's below.

We are created, destinated, all the same.

Who would have said
that I deserve
all the credit that you give.
We both know we know nothing,
we are both yet unexposed.

Juliet, where are you now?
Is the meaning so lost?
Are you the proclaimed holy light?

During the nights
fighting all sorts of fights,
pushing away from the sights,
using a fair-trade disguise.

All the details of all yourself, everything
you never wanted to reveal.
I was wrong to think it's real.
Now you're on it again.

I thought I saw a shooting star.
The more I know, the less you are.
You try to stay on track,
but under pressure you tend to crack.
I'm seeing double.

Tiptoeing around the topics of
the future, past and present.
All important things
are never to be found.
You'll never find them.

You tell and sell forgotten dreams
to the people with no means.
It is almost like I see myself.
I'm a stunt double.

Disillusioned Jötunheim,
so many faces you hide behind.
But you won't fool the thunderstorms.

During the nights
fighting all sorts of fights,
pushing away from the sights,
using a fair-trade disguise.

All the details of all yourself, everything
you never wanted to reveal.
I was wrong to think it's real.
Now you're on it again.
