I was a kid I gave my trust left and right Juggling with hot stones and cold knives All of my anger, now I've left it far behind It turned into euphoria But you know it won't last long You know I'm back from the storm You know I won't stay strong Oh, oh, but you know that I had to ring the alarm The older I get, the more I'm afraid It's a mystery what I've drunk to stay awake They said: Boy, be careful Artists end up tortured with time Quiet strength I'm in my prime But you know it won't last long You know I'm back from the storm You know I won't stay strong Oh, oh, but you know that I had to ring the alarm Flashback Shortcut, sliced I dismiss it every time I was too young to forge my conception of time Twenty years passed in a trice Help me welcome my Flashback Shortcut, love signs I'm falling every night I was too blind to See your conception of the distance Uncommon instants Lost in the stars Off the radar Too silent, I'll be kicked out Gimme one last try Gimme one last try
