The Shadow of Ambition

I sit here in the snow, the icy winds
Manifesting fears
The sun disappears, behind the mountain
I hold back tears

I've come all this way
For what I still don't know
I've come all this way
Here I wait for you in the snow

Why am I here?
I'm not your shadow
Yet I persevere
Why do I stay?
I am your shadow
The shadow of your ambition

This is not my dream, vicarious
You've taken me this far
Can't you see why, unmotivated
I trudge along

I've come all this way
For what I still don't know
I've come all this way
Here I wait for you in the snow

Why am I here?
I'm not your shadow
Yet I persevere
Why do I stay?
I am your shadow
The shadow of your ambition

You got me into this, don't play the victim now
I know I'll find my way, I won't be dragged around
I'd wake up everyday, et carpe diem in metu
There won't be a next time 'cause I'll stand my fucking ground

If I rose, and conquered all
Would you expect any more from me?
No matter what I do, it is never enough
Who do you think you are, to tell me what to be?
