This town no longer owes us anything anymore.

It had written the early chapters of my life

with vivacious hours and ostentatious minds,

refuting the fallacy of being self-debased.

My life is a plot and this town is what's writing it.

But oh, when I realize that there's not a thing that makes sense

and when I do comprehend that I am completely futile,

will I understand the century of clamor against the cataclysm

this town had forced me to grow into?

There's no semblance between how it was and how it is now.

This town is continuing the chapters of my life

with dissipating hours and feckless minds,

with vile treacheries and odious souls.

Now you own no right to blame me for being a pessimist

when you have been rewarded with functioning eyes to see

what a corrupted world we live in.
