Those Were the Years, When I Was at Foxconn 那些年, 我在富士康
This cake is half eaten
I don't remember a bite
My soul is badly beaten
and I can't remember the fight
Crawlin' with an open wound
Wipin' the mud from my eyes
Endless guilt is kickin' me
I'll never be free, ''cause
Chorus:
I live on a page that I can't read
I live in a cage of confusion
I live on a page that can't be turned
I live in a rage, everlasting
Everlasting
I'm slowly suffocating
Under a blanket of questions
Who am I, do I know me?
Am I a box of suggestions?
Well I don't know how this ends
These days we call life
Is there time to make amends?
Well no one knows, ''cause
(Chorus)
(Solo)
I've become, I've become delirious, ''cause
(Chorus)
I live on a page, I live in a cage, I live in a rage x2
