Back in the days when i was sixteen
My life was hard enough back then
I sank in such a quiet lonely chair
I was drowned in a loneliness
Empty air for an empty lie
Recovering this mental disease
Only doing things out of frustration
While I needed some medication (2x)
I tried to smile to cover the tears
Even after all those years,
My body moves but my mind it stays.
Paranoia tastes like butterflies
And it tastes like butterflies
I’ve gotta live it up till it's gone
And if those dreams have sunken
I'll take the risk to swim
because whatever happened, my life will still go on
And if you feel hurt and alone
Be strong and carry on
"When the pretty birds have flown,
And you feel hurt and alone,
Be strong and carry on,
And remember that life goes on. - Mouloud Benzadi"
