Strangle me, I’ll die

Strangle me, I’ll die

The sunlight gave me no tan but burns

Playful children left me buried in sands

Pull me out, oh! won’t you, friend?

Friends I trust won’t dare appear

Sins of time are brooding clear

Let me bleed, I can’t drop a tear.

Solitude won’t understand me,

And neither would her hitman

I choke intently seeking peace.

Why won’t I find peace?

why won’t I find peace!?

To be enlightened was all my greed,

Now darkness is all I see

Let me bleed, I can’t drop a tear

I’m running ragefully towards a running wall,

My only fear is to remain alive, oh why won’t I’

Put me down and let me smile.

Let me bleed, I can’t drop a tear
