Triumvirate I tried to speak out but you never listened
And you would just turn your back
You had your chances but you missed them
And now I’ve launched the attack
I tried to explain but you walked away
And you would never even understand
You told me that I needed to find myself as you vanished into the gray
But you have made me completely who I am
And now I walk alone with my shadow by my side
My only companion on this roller coaster ride
As my future floats away with the ocean’s tide
Come save me and join my side
And maybe this is what you needed
But this isn’t what I wanted
And I don’t want to be a part of it
A puppet in your shadowplay
My tears fell down but you never seen it
You made a promise but you didn’t mean it
Take the key to my heart and keep it
Because I’ll never again give it away
In this shadowplay
You cried for help but I never listened
And I regret doing that
I had my chances and now I missed them
But I still want you back
You pleaded for salvation but I ran away
The reasons why I still don’t understand
I told you that you needed to find yourself as our dreams began to decay
But I still don’t know who I am
And now I walk alone with my shadow by my side
My only companion on this roller coaster ride
As my future floats away with the ocean’s tide
Come save me and join my side
And maybe this is what I wanted
But this isn’t what you needed
So let’s erase and try to clean it
We’re just puppets in this shadowplay
The warnings rained down but we ignored them
Promises made and promises broken
My dreams are in your hands and I hope you hold them
Because I’ve never loved anybody else this way
Forever in shadowplay
…And now our souls are swimming out to sea
Will you sink or will you splash around with me?
I’ll send out a prayer and a plea
And now our shadows are the only things by our sides
Will you sit at your table for one or dine with me on my roller coaster ride?
Please come back because this is how it’s supposed to be…
…you and me…
