lyrics

Shafts of sunlight filtered through the curtains.
After a wasted night, he opened his eyes and faced another day of an old world he doesn't want to face.
It may have come with a change of the heart and then a few minutes passed, again, he sat and took the glass.
“What the fuck am I doing here?”
Devastated and weary, he has been trapped in a stalemate which he never expected.
A lifeless living and a million excuses in a-hundred-day elapsing.
He smashed the glass angrily.
Then carefully, he knelt and picked up the pieces.
Seeing the fragments with the crying face accusing this unfair world “Why did this have to happen to me? ”

“The wind may bend us now, but we’ll never break.
Our heads remain hight.
Holding a short breath, just for a long term peace.
My friend, see what you have achieved and the promises you used to keep.
You are too young to despair, you’re not meant to be like a fallen tree.” Said by Gary.
The sobbing didn’t stop, still beating himself up. Grabbing the pistol from the cabinet with his shaking hands.
“Well, the world is no longer straight, so the only option is to escape.
Because of a failure undeserved, I choose a path undeterred.
This era ain't got a hold of me.
I don't want to live my life groveling, I want to say that I failed trying.”

“I'm a coward, I'm a wretch. Taking off the mask, which leaves a stench.
Holding the gun with my remaining strength, the courage to put myself at gunpoint is all I have.
I’ve composed myself and I’ll pull the trigger. Pick up this gun and defeat those who bullied me, please.
Bring it back to me here. Bring it back to me for my own peace.”
