00:22Even today, I asked myself if anything has changed.
00:27The same experience everyday.
00:30Anxiety inside.
00:33I don't know what to call it.
00:36🎵Music🎵
00:39Whichever place I feel strange now,
00:43I feel like all humans are strangers to me.
00:46🎵Music🎵
00:56When I look around me,
00:58I feel like everyone around me is criticizing me.
01:02I feel like I'm being punished for the mistakes I didn't do.
01:06Is that right?
01:10Why are they still asking me to change?
01:13Why are they asking me to keep it?
01:16Why are they asking me to respond?
01:19Is that my responsibility?
01:22Is this how it's going to be from now on?
01:25🎵Music🎵
01:33These eyes.
01:35As if they need something from me again and again.
01:40How can I avoid it?
01:42How can I hide it?
01:45As if time is stopping.
01:49As if those eyes are floating inside me.
01:53🎵Music🎵
02:03As if they are all behind me.
02:06As if they are following me.
02:09🎵Music🎵
02:20Everything I do.
02:22Every path I take.
02:24Why are they looking at me carefully?
02:27Are they controlling me?
02:29No matter what I do.
02:31Why are these eyes following me?
02:34Why are these hands hurting me?
02:37Is this how it's going to be from now on?
