I am what you hear, I am what you see.
I am what you fear, what you want yourself to be.
I can be your sadness, I can be your joy.
In my hands you're gonna look just like a soldier toy
I can be your victim, I can be your crime.
I can be your whiskey, I can be your wine.
I can be the ocean, I can be so dry,
You can’t win this battle, don’t you even try.
This is not a war, I’ve already won.
There is no shelter, shelter from the storm.
You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun,
You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun.
I am what you feel, what you never would.
I am now the driver, never to get stuck.
I am the excitement, the coldness in your blood,
I’ll be everything, that you never could.
I am your salvation, can’t you really see?
I am everything you, wished one day to be.
I am now the fire, burning in your eyes,
I am the truth, hidden in your lies.
This is not a war, I’ve already won.
There is no shelter, shelter from the storm.
You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun,
You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun.
This is not a nightmare, as real as it gets.
I am all your failures, I am all your debts.
I am all the crisis, you wished to ignore,
I’m a long lost friend, a bottle on the floor.
I am your heaven, I am your abyss.
I am like a prayer, I am your bliss.
I am taking over, don’t try to stop me now,
If you ain’t with me, I will make you bow.
I’m inside of you, don’t you really see?
I am what you’ve hidden, what you cannot be,
I am all the anger, I am all the scars,
I am not a god, I don’t wear any crowns.
This is not a war, I’ve already won.
There is no shelter, shelter from the storm.
You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun,
You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun.
I am the otherside, the fear in your eyes.
I’m what’s left, the willing to survive.
I make the rules now, I will roll the dice,
Prisoner no longer, I will break the ice!
