about

Self
I threw myself on the bed
I threw away tiredness and sadness
I rolled a cigarette and longed
For the times when I used to long
I threw myself on the floor
I played dead once more
I went out of my body, flew
and landed on the sill
to look down
on the cave of secrets inside me
I looked down when I dared
I shivered and got scared
When on my laid body I saw
ravens swarming and fairies
even after I was killed by stress and exhaustion
Suckers from the village of Suppression
Sucked me shamelessly
until my blood got them high
Everyone wants a piece of me
But I’m way too small you see
Everyone throws on my back some weight
but I can barely carry my own weight

lyrics

رميت حالي عالتخت
رميت التعب والمقت
لفيت سيجارة واشتقت
لأيام ما كنت أشتاق
رميت حالي عالأرض
وعملت حالي متت
طلعت من جسمي وطرت
هديت عحفة الشباك
أطل عمغارة الأسرار جواتي
قشعر بدني وخفت
لما تطلعت لتحت
على جسمي المرمي شفت
غربان بتحوم وجنيات
حتى بعد ما متت
من كتر التعب والضغط
مصاصات من كفر كبت
مصوني بدون حياء وعن غل
حتى الانتشاء من دمائي
كل واحد بدو مني شقفة
وأنا كلي ع بعضي قد النتفة
كل واحد برمي عضهري شغلة
وأنا بالقوة حامل تقلي
كل واحد بدو مني شقفة
وأنا كلي ع بعضي قد النتفة
كل واحد برمي عضهري شغلة يا عمي
وأنا بالقوة حامل تقلي
