Εφάπαξ [Efapax] [English translation]

All of my life I was hiding

Because I wanted to leave but I was afraid to

I used to call this guilt "love"

But now it's slowly avenging me

All of my life it exhausted me,

To remember something, to start something

For my friends and my accounts to be good,

So I wouldn't have to examine things

Something to remember, something to start

They taught me how to hate, to be satisfied with "half"

To lose, to win, to bet

To take orders, to break checks

And to honk, every chance I get

To tighten the belt skillfully,

To find a solution in a moment's notice,

To close the shades and be alone,

To squeeze the pillow even tighter,

To find a solution in a moment's notice

All my life, a secret, unborn second life,

Always followed me

It didn't look me in the eyes, it wasn't a burden,

It didn't speak but it asked for everything

A small sea was following me

All my life, a secret, unborn second life,

Always followed me

It didn't look me in the eyes, it wasn't a burden,

It didn't speak but it asked for everything

A small sea was following me
