Shandée - Poisoned Love

You say you're leaving,

and there's no turning back this time.

This story is over,

it's reached its end.

 

I've heard this before,

I've lived it,

I've seen it so much

that I'm bored of it.

 

Go find someone else,

this one's already gone,

he's no longer here,

he's dead.

 

Say what you want,

repeat it until you're tired,

and if you wish,

you can forget me in a year.

 

You can do it,

I don't care, I'm not interested.

I saw myself in a mirror,

and I didn't like the reflection.

 

What I saw wasn't me,

because you poison me,

you suffocate me, you drown me,

this is a sentence.

 

I don't want this story

in this book,

and I'll write something new

where you don't exist.

 

I don't need anyone

to live,

I'll still be me until the end,

and that's how I'll continue.

 

They tell me I'm not happy,

what do they know about me?

They know my name,

but not who I am.

 

I'll fight,

I'll win,

and I'll prove

that I'll make it.

 

I'm the one who decides,

and I want to dance,

and not stop,

and enjoy tonight.

 

I've created my world,

where love

is not allowed,

so Cupid, don't even think about coming.

Shandée - What You Need


Show me what you need,
Not the glitter, not the greed.
What you want might not be enough,
To fill the empty or soften the rough.

Your heart burns with so much fire,
I can feel your strong desire.
But there's a road you still must take,
To find the peace you hope to make.

What you want might cloud your mind,
And what you seek might not be kind.
But step by step, breath by breath,
You’ll find your way, and feel less stressed.

So take my hand and trust my voice,
Let go of fear and make your choice.
Walk the path that’s right for you,
And find the peace that waits for you.

Shandée - Breaking Chains and Embracing Love


The past has struck me down with force,

It chains my heart and stops my course.

When I dare to break the ice,

My ghosts appear, it's not so nice.

 

I should not care what others think,

But fear stops me, I start to sink.

Alone with my pillow every night,

I pour my heart out, it feels all right.

 

I've reached some highs I never thought,

The world says I'm crazy, but I fought.

What use is sanity in this place,

Where no one understands my case.

 

Someone once kissed me with their heart,

And I lost myself, I fell apart.

But it all vanished as it came,

What we had, what we were, it's lame.

 

I'm left with doubts that hold me back,

And silly fears that I must attack.

But how can I forget those words,

Of love and promises like birds?

 

I don't miss what was, nor want to return,

But holding on hurts, I feel the burn.

I've cried enough, yelled at life,

Said I won't love again, no more strife.

 

I know I can't erase my past,

But I must face my fears at last.

I have someone who wants to make,

My days brighter, my nights awake.

 

It's not magic, it had to be,

But I must handle it with maturity.

I fear losing my sight, my sense,

When my heart loves, my brain's defense.

 

A new life is what I'm offered,

And I want to believe, I'm not deterred.

It won't be easy, I'm aware,

But if I don't try, I'll never dare.

 

I asked the sky for some solace,

And an angel came, a consoling face.

"Don't fear failure, you won't be happy,

Better to try and fail than to be sappy.

 

Regrets won't help, they're in the past,

Leave it all behind, make a new cast.

Try again before losing love's flame,

You might find joy, you might not blame."

Angel Shandee - Someone That I Used To Love


















Look at me and tell me what you see

My hands are free

Don't you remember that you tied them?

and I could not take my heart away from you?


You were part of my dreams

You were my prison

on cold days

But I woke up and now you are no longer anything in my life


No need to be captive

no prisoner

I am free because I was born free

I can walk and go where I want


Love does not kill

But I chose wrong

And I paid with pain

you hurt every part of me


The days and nights

Were the same

In the darkness where I was

Nothing made ​​sense

Shandée - The Chill of Winter



I never thought, I could not conceive

That winter so gloomy, it would bury me

The storms I once saw, deep within

Now I felt them, in my core and skin

 

I crafted illusions, that's what I got

To cope with the freeze, that filled me up

It numbed my heart, made it unhappy

A chill, unshakeable, that clung to me

 

It's hard not to dwell, on what's in the past

Harder still, to hold back tears amassed

Knowing I gave my all, and still couldn't be

Happy, by your side, it just wasn't meant to be

 

I'm not to blame, it's not my fault

Just a protagonist, in a story with no exalt

No happy ending, but I'll walk on my own

And one day, I'll find a warmth that's unknown

 

The light through my window, once had no meaning

Now, I cherish every detail, without leaning

On you, for validation, it's all mine to see

And soon, I'll feel a new warmth, deep within me
