I see my ambitions Falling down from my hands, and crash Like a child made of glass Who's learning to walk in the dark I'm trying in vain to rise On a floor covered in fragments Of a thousand broken dreams And useless sacrifices Brick after brick I've built myself Leaving behind every single excess I know I make you just feel ashamed I will give you my blessing While life will show you the bill I chose to live a simple life And broke the working chains No money, a compact car Keep away your shining rat cage I prefer to give you all the rights But I'll never throw dust In the dark corner of my brain I still enjoy the life Brick after brick I've built myself Leaving behind every single excess I know I make you just feel ashamed I will give you my blessing While life will show you the bill Show me what it would be living a dignified life You have no time to think about yourself Life slips away while you're fighting Your inner strife I use to think about the time I lost The sweat I dropped Wasting money on every unsuccessful intuition Useless plans of career Like knives on my bleeding throat The shivers of every idea Buried in a working class grave Brick after brick I've built myself Leaving behind every single excess I know I make you just feel ashamed I will give you my blessing While life will show you the bill Show me what it would be living a dignified life (While life will show you the bill) You have no time to think about yourself Life slips away while you're fighting Your inner strife
