lyrics

Mental breakdowns are haunting me everyday
leaving no hope for my escape
Desire to fall without standing up;
to fall into eternal sleep
The torch is not bright enough to light my way
The rock is a burden for me to push
Consideration to give up is quite near

Three options are given to us
The rock gives no time to consider them all
One is to die out of own’s desire
Another is to fall into the hope of a better afterlife
Yet we choose to say “no” to those two
Our choice is to accept the absurdity of this life
Our creed is to revolt and achieve the greatest freedom
The rock shall not be the greatest of burdens

This is my myth
I am Sisyphus*

* The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) an essay by Albert Camus
