What can you do?

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)

Say it
Say how you hate this world
Admit
You'd rather live alone

Ask why
World is such a messed place
Avoid
Whole world's crazy chase

Commit
A sin and be spared
Pray
And be taught how you dared

Feel free
And die as you wish
Stay still
And be moved by a risk

Sing now
Melody no one can hear
Defeat
One person that everyone fear

Become
Someone you would despise
Curse
Those who were supposed to be wise

Break out
From the cage world built
Kill doubts
Which inside you were  sealed
