All my arrogance comes from my inferiority complex,
All heroism comes from the weakness in my heart,
All the plausive words are because the heart is full of doubts
I pretend to be heartless,
In fact, I hate my own deep feelings.
I thought the meaning of life was to wander around in exile,
In fact, it's just a cover-up that I haven't found a place I'm willing to stop yet.
