I see the ads, hypnotize, criticize my modest eyes
Mutated lies that play on my dignity
Feel the pull go back and forth, fading the path of my youthful course
Deprogram every ounce complete
So it's the death of me, untether history, ending all of my self-esteem
It's the elegy, the anthem that I sing, marks the birth of my humility
I don't want to cry again, I hurt too much, this life I chose
Every glance I see, it speaks to me this vanity
Disenchant the discourse, ending this war, drop the veil slowly
Cleanse my eyes from being deceived
I ran away, ran away from my foundation
I ran away, ran away terrified again
Deep inside, bought the lie of expectation
But it was you that changed my life...
The elegy of me...
