I see my ambitions
Falling down from my hands, and crash
Like a child made of glass
Who's learning to walk in the dark
I'm trying in vain to rise
On a floor covered in fragments
Of a thousand broken dreams
And useless sacrifices
Brick after brick I've built myself
Leaving behind every single excess
I know I make you just feel ashamed
I will give you my blessing
While life will show you the bill
I chose to live a simple life
And broke the working chains
No money, a compact car
Keep away your shining rat cage
I prefer to give you all the rights
But I'll never throw dust
In the dark corner of my brain
I still enjoy the life
Brick after brick I've built myself
Leaving behind every single excess
I know I make you just feel ashamed
I will give you my blessing
While life will show you the bill
Show me what it would be living a dignified life
You have no time to think about yourself
Life slips away while you're fighting
Your inner strife
I use to think about the time I lost
The sweat I dropped
Wasting money on every unsuccessful intuition
Useless plans of career
Like knives on my bleeding throat
The shivers of every idea
Buried in a working class grave
Brick after brick I've built myself
Leaving behind every single excess
I know I make you just feel ashamed
I will give you my blessing
While life will show you the bill
Show me what it would be living a dignified life
(While life will show you the bill)
You have no time to think about yourself
Life slips away while you're fighting
Your inner strife
