Carrying the burden
Of my wretched misery
With the resentment
Of being able to just grit my teeth

I began
By getting on my feet
Following the voices of the displaced
Tasting iron and dust
Under the restless moon
With thunders as a beacon

Sometimes I look back
My memories say goodbye
With tears in their eyes
Abandoned to my fate
With no choice but to carry on

The weight of silence
Suffocating down my throat
A sun of injustice
Throbbing in my temples
Writing my story
With mud on my fingers
Following the compass
That guides my growing strong will to survive
And I'm still on my feet
Following the voices of the displaced
And the horizon
Is shining brighter now
I can almost feel it

Sometimes I look back
My memories say goodbye
With tears in their eyes
Abandoned to my fate
With no choice but to carry on

No matter how many times
The ocean tries to wash my skin
No matter how many blows
I take for trying to crack your code
My identity remains still dirty, like an indelible stain
While you allot me a penance within my blood

And still sometimes I look back
My memories say goodbye
With tears in their eyes
Abandoned to my fate
I'm still determined to fight for my life
