#040116 I stole not the show But regret was never on my mind, Papa's life, I know how vital it is And so I'd rather be caught Than his breath, dark be brought. Who am I? I can feel my bursting nerves My belly's waves, shrinking to their own cause. Holding the nurse's hands, I'm screaming But the other cry was a memory of existence. Who am I? I don't have enough So I turned my nights into mornings. Unfair life is, I get persecuted all day long. I work not for one, but two or more How I wish I had the chance to get back at school, For now I learned, time was never an inch of today. Who am I? Who am I but the a laborer of the world, I shut down moments in order to grasp air, Mess was not my name, though rest was a misfortune Let me, oh let me follow the heart of the Greater One. My labor was never in vain, For I salute my Master. I may be nobody but a simple laborer, But who I am is whose I am, And now I know what matters most, For my identity was never my entity.

Who Am I? (In the Eyes of a Laborer)
#040116 I stole not the show But regret was never on my mind, Papa's life, I know how vital it is And so I'd rather be caught Than his breath, dark be brought. Who am I? I can feel my bursting nerves My belly's waves, shrinking to their own cause. Holding the nurse's hands, I'm screaming But the other cry was a memory of existence. Who am I? I don't have enough So I turned my nights into mornings. Unfair life is, I get persecuted all day long. I work not for one, but two or more How I wish I had the chance to get back at school, For now I learned, time was never an inch of today. Who am I? Who am I but the a laborer of the world, I shut down moments in order to grasp air, Mess was not my name, though rest was a misfortune Let me, oh let me follow the heart of the Greater One. My labor was never in vain, For I salute my Master. I may be nobody but a simple laborer, But who I am is whose I am, And now I know what matters most, For my identity was never my entity.
