If I could, I would
Take off the shoes that has been my loyal company
If only I could
Swim the sea and cross the land of sands, barefoot
Leave my shoes somewhere I can’t find
My eyes are red, as always
Giving birth to thousands question of what happened
When we are made for each other
For them cannot see
What they don’t wanna see
For them cannot feel
What they don’t wanna feel
But I,
I rent my shoes for free
For you and them who’ve been arguing with reality
And I,
I think you will never understand
Though you say you know me by heart, by years by now
Truth still kept inside
Waiting to be buried deeper
Waiting to be forgotten
Friends,
My shoes are for rent
so you know how it feels like
to be me.
Singapore, Beginning of April, 2011
