My Own Idol - Desasterkids

Dragged down by the image of the mirror

I wish to be so much more

I am lost in my dreams

I cannot find a way out

What can i do, where do i go?

My heart is filled with bitterness

And you cannot do anything to change

Addicted to other people’s lives

I write my own demise

Just stop pretending you’re somebody else now

It’s time to turn your world upside down

Life can beat you up don’t let it push you down now

There’s no time to lose

You always dream about those places you have never been before

Do you even know what it takes to be yourself?

Are you brave enough to say what’s going through your head?

No more beautiful lies

You know what keeps me awake all night

Afraid of falling back to where I’ve been before

I fought so damn hard to be here right now

I’m not even close to my goals

But everyday I’m one step closer

And maybe one day I can say

I’ve become my own idol

I used to hold my echoes close

But now I live free

Every day I show the best of me

I’m not living in the past anymore
