I have invested my time
Buried my heart into it
Please, slowly pour my soul
As I overwork

Time passes
And I grow in ugliness
Sleepless nights and numbness
Tastes like bitter gourd

Conquered what I need to
Won the fight
That nobody need to
Thinking I'm victorious

As I grew into a giant.
Maybe what's inside me
Grew as well
And swallowed me completely

The platform was waiting
The crowds were cheering
My insides are screaming
My monsters are lurking

My heart pounds heavily
For that one second
A second when the prize was in my hands
Slowly crumbling in ashes
Flew like a butterfly

I have everything what a soul needs—
But now, I am soulless
