Release Your Shadow

Release your shadow
Give up on brittle pride

Trying to wield a single beam of the sun
While the weight of a thousand moons pulls you down
Dragging along an evergrowing inner burden
Unable to deal with the deadlock emerging
So you've adopted the facade of quiet apathy
But it's suppressing a scream
You're waging a war against your reflection
You're stuck, holding on to vain despair

Up on the surface, you're in search of sublimity
But underneath, you've exhausted its meaning
You blindly wait for someone else to take the beating
But in the real world, perfection is fleeting

Can't you see that it's time to absolve?
To undress from the torment you've worn
Set free from imbalance within

Release your shadow
Give up on brittle pride
Before it drags you down
Release your shadow
Reveal your hidden side
Before it makes you drown

It's easy to fall under the weight of grand prophecies
Get lost on the way when the road signs lack clarity
You wander but you're covering no distance
Now the pressure exceeds your resistance

Can't you see your shell bursting ajar
The deception has gone way too far
Adjust to the darkness and see
The sky will come alive

Set free from imbalance within your soul

Release your shadow
Give up on brittle pride
Before it drags you down
Release your shadow
Reveal your hidden side
Before it makes you drown
Release your shadow
Set off, refuse to hide
The darkness inside
Release your shadow
