Lyrics

In the centre of attention
You try to hide your skin
Make-believe you’ve already started
While you don’t even know how to begin
Reach for the light
Release your stare
Who are they to tell that you did wrong?
Dare to peek
Across the square and
Make the move you’ve waited for so long
Living statue, live again
Oh feel how
It boils beneath the cracks,
The crumbling of all doubt
Please, unrobe your cloak of stone
Try to break free and reach out
Reach for the light
Release your stare
Who are they to tell that you did wrong?
Dare to peek
Across the square and
Make the move you’ve waited for so long
Living statue, live again
Living statue, live again
Living statue, live again
Living statue, live again

Living statue, live again
