The Depth of Self‐Delusion Songtext
von Riverside

I could be foreign forever
To your otherland
I could be foreign forevermore
To your promiseland

One life was great but another
No, I don′t want to live on the edge
I won't follow you, I found my own
I will stay

I could be foreign forever
To your hasteland
I could be foreign forevermore
To your neverland

One little brick then another
And I will build that wall anyway
You can find me there, rested and calm
Without mask
This is where I will stay


Look around where we are, who we are
What we always want
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
Sometimes little more
I was chasing your shadow
Not knowing I′d become your slave

I could be foreign forever
To your otherland
I could be foreign forevermore
To your promiseland

One life was great but another
No, I don't want to live on the edge
I won't follow you, I found my own
I will stay
I could stay forevermore


I′ve said a farewell
To never-ending smiles
I did not look good in red
From my place
I can finally
See how much
Of this shade
I called
Myself
Was me
And what was left behind

I could be foreign forever
To your otherland
I could be foreign forevermore
To your promiseland

One life was great but another
No, I don′t want to live on the edge
I won't follow you, I found my own
I will stay
I could stay forevermore

I′ve said a farewell
To never-ending smiles
From my place I can finally see
How much of this shade
Was me
And what was left behind
