Before my anger leads me to ruin
Your elbow crushes me to the ground
Before I'm buried by the landslide
I close my eyes and I count to 10

Before I take another wrong step
Before hitting blindly around
Before spitting on your rejection
I close my eyes and I count to 10

Before I cry and feel despair
Before I go and wake the hurricane
Before I follow blindly the stream
Before I fall calling for retreat

Before going out on stage
Before our song begins to play
My blood is boiling in my veins
Adrenalin becoming addiction

I feel that I use up my powers
I see that the doors are closing in
I tumble shaken by the storm
I see you're going away far from me
Without reminding our made promises
Loosing every chance

I breathe so deeply
I leave this world behind
And I count to ten to not go insane
Before I awake before I begin
