Cartas Desde El Asilo

Gave my life thinking you'd see something different
Wars and hunger I had to endure, but I'm not the same anymore
My mind holds clarity, my body is fading away
I know deep down you wish for it, but I'm not dying
Always in the same place, in another society
Drowning in memories my desolation
Tears in my eyes at dusk.

Meanwhile your conscience
is reassured knowing
I'm alive, taken care of
with no problems to solve
Your existence is always something to do
without the burden of a vegetable
and once a month you come to chat
empty things to envy.

In your house I became the ultimate shit, a nuisance
My usefulness wasn't sought and you paid me with a cell
From my prison I bid farewell to an ungrateful world
a noose around me, I feel so defeated!
Always doing the same thing to exhaustion
Drowning in memories this prostration
Tears in my eyes every dusk.
