Volte-face - Riverside

I have spent all my previous life

Waiting for something else to start

Now I see that I have felt so numb

To everything that passed me by, passed me by

Need to go land on my own two feet

Need to change my life this way

Need to free my mind of memories

Watch them how they screw my brain

The time that has come

Convinced what I feel inside

In darkness I float, how far is the light?

The time that has come

Convinced what I feel inside

In darkness I float, how far is the light?

How far is the light?

Inside: fearland

Don’t want you to know

Outside: fearless

I do want you to watch, do you mind?

Would you step aside, make way for me?

Can’t you see I’m dead set on doing this

Enough of dreamless nights

Enough of sleepless nights

I’m the way I am, get out of my sight

Do you mind?

You can put me in the lion’s cage

You can take my soul, give a second name

But I don’t intend to stop my fight

And I’m not afraid, not afraid
