The inside of a crystal box (Lyrics)

Music: Dieter Baethge
Lyrics: Dieter Baethge

Verse 1:

The doors are locked. I'm not expecting people to be asking for me anymore.

There's nothing left to be afraid of once your nightmares have come true.

Prechorus:

They say your pain makes you stronger yeah. But how strong can you get before your feelings turn off? All I do now is wait for sleep.

Verse 2:

Dreaming on. Flying to another world where the mirror still lies to me... Where my heart's still beating oh...

Prechorus:

And then a glimmer of light comes in for me to see what I will never have.

Cuz I've locked myself in a crystal...


Chorus:

...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.

Verse 3:

I looked for love with every breath I got left in my life. Oh if I only had it.

Prechorus:

I thought I'd be safe from the world alone but now I'm begging for someone to touch me.
It's so cold inside this crystal...

Chorus:

...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.

SOLO

Bridge:

Listen to the silence.
A full bottle for an empty heart is what remains from what I turned out to be in this crystal

Chorus:

...box.
And I feel what's left of me fading away.
I realize now my shadow is all I've got.

Yeah and I feel what's left of me fading away away...
