Shadows Songtext
von We Are Temporary

Waiting, waiting, waiting for true life to start
Mistaking exertion for effort, depression for art
It′s not dying, but missing the whole point of life that I fear
Mistaking talent for work and the hours for years

Why must we die, when it feels like life just started?
Why even try, if we all end up broken-hearted?
When my life began, I thought that everything would last forever
Now I'm too old to pretend

There′s not a thing I won't miss about life, but a lot to regret
The imprint I leave behind will be quick to reset


Why must we die, when it feels like life just started?
Why even try, if we all end up broken-hearted?
When my life began, I thought that everything would last forever
Now I'm too old to pretend

I won′t go quietly into the night
Not when our life together just got started
Fight the dying light
Even if we′re shot down broken-hearted
Thunder and fire at will
Storm the hills, be swift and keen on ascent
Now take my hand and pretend
We don't want this to end
