The ticking of time
Blood on my dried-out hands
I walked through cruel fate
And arrived at a name—“Guilty”
I fought for the land
I shielded my friends, tore myself apart
On that day I gave my life
You smiled… and let me go
The city came back
The world was repainted white
But my face
Was never drawn in
The place I returned to
Had no place for me
They gave me the word—“Criminal”
Even your smile became evidence
They called it justice
But who decides what’s right?
I only wanted to protect
I only survived
Even that—
They could not forgive
I am no longer human
My friends were shot
My lover was masked
My parents stayed silent
And erased my name
I said “I had no choice”
Again and again
But voices return at night
“Who did you kill for… and why?”
Was the world I believed in wrong?
Or was it me who was mistaken?
There’s no answer
And no words
To explain
For peace, I gave up my soul
And someone else found joy
By erasing my place
Still, I breathe
Still, I sing
In a rainy night
In a room with no light
I dream of childhood
Through eyes lost in the dark
Who am I now?
Just a memory?
Or someone
Who can still protect something?
“My father was a hero”
A stranger’s child whispered
Illusion or not—
Those words saved me
With these broken hands
I still want to hold someone
Even if I’m never forgiven
Even if I’m never remembered
This is my proof of life
This is the song I leave behind
A life with no answer
But I will keep walking
Even if the night never ends
I wait for a faint tomorrow
Even if I leave no name
The one who stood there
Was me
I no longer fight
But I never lost
I carry
The weight of the world
On my back
