Pretty ugly world
Pretty fake world
It is dark in my head
so dark are my thoughts
I can't escape the cage
helping me won't help along
drowning deep into this gloomy well
maybe my soul has surrendered to this evil empire
sabotaging my head
They say to let it all go
But to them, I can only squeak out,
"My insurrections are of no use!"
If aid did play any role in this guilt-game
This evil empire would have surrendered my head
Alas!
There's misery all around
Any step ahead takes me back to the ground
Where all I see is the drought caused by my wicked soul
and the overthinker mind
Entirely lured by the beauty and vows of the world,
and its glitters;
We so wish to live and die for
