I am in a system
tangled like a helpless spider
in the web
woven by someone else

I can’t go too far
I can’t stay close to myself
even in private
and say

my life is worse than hell

you better take the keys
and lock me in your cell
than make it look
like you are on
some humanitarian mission

false smile
false hope
betrayal
trust issues

taking everything
out of my mind
making me suffer

you duffer
you think you are tougher?

I was a rough guy
before I was a lover

don’t think kindness
is tied around my collar
I can buy your pride
for a dollar

you want to paint me dirty?
wait
I will bring the roller

degrading me
won’t make you taller

you can build your walls
and call yourself stronger
but I have been swallowing this
for far too longer

Screw your system
Screw your management

one day
if I make a living
from my art

I will leave all this
far behind

no more false promises
playing with my mind

I will keep my distance
from all your morons
all your stupid donkeys

you keep braying

I won’t be staying

you keep making noise
thinking you are winning

while somewhere far away
my real life
will be beginning

you keep braying

I will be at peace

and praying
