Piano Keys

Maybe someone's waiting
Just for hours out there standing
Should I stretch out an umbrella?
But se looked so sad
I let hem in

Drenched and soaked
Could be rain, could be tears
There's an intruder in my house
With eyes red from isolation
Se stared at the piano
Just stared, ignoring where se was
Somehow I found my fingers drumming on the keys

It kept raining outside
Cold air blew through the chimney
Taking the fire with it
The stranger drew a soft smile
And we fell into a slumber

I heard pitter patters on the window
Someone must be lonely outside
Someone must be waiting for somebody to open that door

A random memory

たぶん淋しいかも

Have you ever woken up reborn?
With someone you don't recognize suddenly telling you what to do
And introduced to someone who shall be your partner
To both be on the stage
Into the world of performers

Somehow I didn't hate that life
Just staring at the crowd
Somehow I thought as long as I'm not stolen of my pride
I could make it fine
Eyeing my partner, I felt angry
Why is se the only one who knew
Hes past, hes everything
While I'm just someone found lying on the riverbanks
Why wasn't anyone trying to find me...

I woke up to a blue sky that didn't feel familiar
And lived with people I never knew
I didn't understand who or what they were
Though they treated me like family
I knew I was a merchandise
I've got to break away
But that partner was always looking through me
As if knowing I'll be gone anytime

You don't understand
You're not the one without memories
I said that without a bit of sympathy for hem who was just trying to help
You don't understand
You're not the one who has to crossdress and no one knows nor cares
I'm the one who's standing as an inexisting idol
You'd never understand
Then I saw that helplessness in those eyes
Perhaps I was wrong?
But I didn't care

Days to weeks finally turned to years
Really I was abandoned
Amnesiac as I am, no one was even searching
Who was I? Some kind of introvert?
Somehow I wasn't sick of that life
But I needed something to hold on to
There was nothing to justify
Whether what I was facing is reality or not
They just know how to get what they want
They never cared
To them I was just another emotionless doll
Somehow I didn't hate it
Somehow I managed to hide unreasonable tears
Till the day se grabbed me by the shirt and yelled
That the future is in my own hands
Still I just glared back

One day I went by the river I was found
Calculating the way I came years ago
Perhaps an accident? I tried searching
But there was no one on the missing list
Then what was I
A gift from heaven like they said?
Rubbish

Years being together, yet I never knew
When we were there in one room
And some things went clear
That I wasn't the only one enduring this fake performance
But I still felt bitter
Because se still had hes share of memories
While I still ponder and wonder
Once I get mine back, I'll definitely leave
And will never return
Not ever
Even if se made that happy pretense

Somehow I knew our meeting was fated
When se led us astray into a far away city
And I see things that were familiar
Forgetting time I ran
Towards places I used to know, reconstructing every piece of memory
To the place I used to live
Seeing faces I used to call by names
It was so near
But it wasn't there
Why?
Why are things so cruel?
Why wasn't there anything to tell my memory was real

As expected
Nothing came out of the net
Straining my eyes onto the monitor, I sighed
Maybe it was time to give up
If things weren't here
Then there was no use to chase
Everything was so pathetic
Please give me something sure to hold on to, I prayed
To whom, I didn't know
But someone must know
Someone must understand
There must be someone who's able to heal
And that's not my partner, standing outside the door

I decided to mess things up
In front of live cameras, to let everyone know
So that someone could response and tell me
Tell me that they were looking for me
But I ended up with fakers
I knew that was gonna happen
But I had to try
Just wanted to give it a shot
Then se whispered to me
"Don't give up"
Somehow it gave me strength

Those nights I dreamt of my previous years
The ones before I drifted into this world of entertainment
And the ones with my partner by my side
It wasn't bad to be involved in this business
But to know hem was a big mistake
I should've refused it the first time
I knew I could
Things are miraculous
When I realized, we spent 10 years together
As the forever young teens
But this world will come to an end
Our fans might stay loyal
But the time will come for us to step down
And then we will be apart for real
For the first time
I thought that sounded sad

The place I used to live stood before me
It wasn't the same, but it was here, I knew
I snuggled beneath the roof waiting
For a familiar face to suddenly pop out of nowhere
So that I could be rid of this new world
So that I know I wasn't alone
But no one came
Even as snow keeps falling
No one I knew went by
Except for my partner who came looking for me
Se didn't tell me to go home
Se sat beside me and waited with me
"I don't understand" se said
"Of course you don't" I snapped
And I ignored the rest of hes words

Have you ever found yourself reborn?
Found somewhere and taught to be something
Then you discover that you lost something
A lot of things
But you'll never find them back
Have you ever known what it's like to be lonely?

I wished I could just disappear
There was nothing more that I wanted
Except for this small hope in my heart
It said that things will be alright
Things aren't alright!
The next second I found myself on an unknown road
With hem walking close behind
As if looking over me
Waiting for me to decide to stop these useless acts
Knowing fully well I won't
We just kept on walking
Then I was running away from hem
I wanted to be alone
Se knew that, yet se chased after me
Just go away already! I wanted to scream
But I said
"Take me home"

I never checked our homepage
There wouldn't be any more than fans' loves and kisses
And fake confessions of knowing my past

One day my partner was torn away to be with someone else
For some reason I was able to laugh
"Now forget everything" I said
It was cruel
But I didn't want anymore
Even with my new partner
I never told my story
Enough, I thought
Just enough with this insanity

What a long time wasted

On a sunny photography session
Se came and showed me a VCD
"Come to my place and we'll watch together" said se
"Why would I?" I got angry again
I thought this could be my last kindness
When I stepped into the room
But the video was already running
And I saw what I wanted to see for so long
Faces and voices that were familiar
And the me I used to know
So it was real after all

Have you ever had someone who'd arrange a concert
Just so you could connect to people you lost
My ex-partner did it without asking
And I was able to take off that mask
But I didn't go back to where I used to be
Glad and enough to just know they were real
And more than that
I finally realized
That someone was waiting
So patiently always standing near by
Somehow
I couldn't hate hem

A random dream

The Color Of This Ink

I read an invisible letter
Wrote not with lemon but with love and longings
Felt by none but me
Signed with kisses every here and there
A letter from my lover
It came a long way through various means
Sometimes it arrives like telepathy
The loneliness and the happiness se endured everyday
Though I'm here the feelings are clear
We're not one soul in two bodies
Somehow things are just meant to be

I took up a pen an wrote an unseen reply
To be sent across distances
To be heard by only the receiver
I am sorry I'm not romantic and always can't be there
By your side to support you
When you're down or when you need someone to share your glee
But you know
Just feeling your presence out there
Knowing you are facing life with what you are
It makes me long for you more and more
As beautiful as you are when you smile
Every moment of you I treasure
Every single gesture
I love everything about you and that is why
This small me can keep on travelling
Till the end comes for another beginning

Faster than light se smiled
That reassuring understanding smile
Se had always understood, I had always known
But se's always holding out a hand
For me to catch
Se's waiting
So am I
We are all waiting
Patiently, so gently

I will go home my dear
And bring you lots of stuff that you like
But not just because to make you happy
Because I know
Even if I send you flowers and jewelries from heaven
You will choose me over everything
I will shower you with gifts
Because I know that I always win
In your heart
In my heart
You are the winner

I will keep this letter
Along with the rest
In a place nearest to heaven
Far from depleting memories
Where we would surely dwell with God's will
The coming days when we won't have to be lonely ever again

この文字の色



見えない手紙が届いた
愛と孤独で書かれた文字は
僕にしか感じれない
愛情で溢れたこのラブレターは
大事な愛する人がくれた
遥かな届かぬところから来た
以心伝心みたいに
あの人が迎える毎日の寂しさとうれしさ
ここにいる僕には感じれる
二つになった魂なんかじゃない
ただの愛し合う二人なんだ

ペンを持ち上げて返事を書いた
あの届かぬ場所に
あの人にしか見えない返事を
いつも優しくなくてゴメンな
一緒にいてあげられなくて悪かった
あんなにだけ自分の悲しみと笑いを話せる相手が欲しいってわかってるのに
でもさ
君がそこにいると知っているだけで
君が君らしく生きているだけで
会いたくて会いたくて苦しいほどに会いたくなる
笑ってる君もいい
君がするすべての表情が愛おしい
君の身振りの全ても
あんな君が好きだから
いつまでも旅を続けられる僕は
旅の終わりで約束された始まりを待つ

そしてあの人は笑った
あの懐かしい暖かな笑顔
わかってるって僕もわかってる
だけどなぜか一度も手を引くことがない
ずっと僕がそれを握るのを待っている
あの人は待っている
僕とともに
僕らは皆待っている
静かに、かすかに

必ず帰るよ、愛する人よ
君の好きなものをたくさん持って帰る
でもそれは君を喜ばせるためだけじゃない
知ってるからさ
いくら豪華なものを君に差し上げても
それらよりも僕がほしいと
いつになっても君にプレゼントをあげる
僕が必ず選ばれると知ってるから
君が選ぶとしたら
僕が選ぶとしたら
必ず君が選ばれる

この手紙も他と一緒に
大事にしとこう
天国に一番近いところで
崩れてゆく記憶の遠くから
神の意志で僕たちは必ずそこで暮らす
ああ、その日々、二度と孤独を知らないだろう

Different

Why me
That you have to choose
Even though they call me different
That they look at me from far
None cared to ask me
Could it be that I managed to smile all these years
Is it because you were there?
It still bothers me
These days, these times when I sit alone
They chose to shade their eyes from me
Since I met you I vowed
If I'm to be reborn
I want to be reborn different again
Then find where you are
No matter how many times
With these eyes that they call witch's pair
Why did you choose me?
My nights became lonely since I met you
You taught me what it means to despair
I didn't know what love was
My pains were temporary
I never cried at night for what they said
But I knew
I was and always will be different
One of them yet not
Trapped on this small planet
Ironic
How my difference took me across universe
To venture outside
I saw people more unique than me
It wasn't me who found you
God sent you in a surprise package
To this boring place which you say is better than yours
But life is always like that, isn't it?
Grass is always greener on the other side
You are on the far side
Shining in a way so gently
You are also different, but they love you
I can't understand why
Why is it I crossed that border of difference
We are too far away
Still I couldn't help taking you away from them
Your response
It made things worse
Perhaps if you didn't say you love me
Perhaps life would've been different from now
And I won't have to sleep alone
Or cry alone
If you didn't catch my extended hand
Would I be happier than now?
Aren't you regretting
Taking me in?
I won't regret what I did
When I chose to make you mine regardless of your feelings
But if you're not happy with me
I'm ready to let you go
Your happiness is what I wish
But with all my heart, I don't want to let you go
If you are gone
If someone else comes to take your place
I want to be reborn
This time into the person you'd really be happy with
Forgive me for being different
I'm sorry I'm not as nice as they are
Hikaru
Hotaru
Keikoku
Whichever you are
Life is full of wonder
Like when the traveler settled down with the healer
I've never doubted your love
Nor do I doubt your heart
I just wanted to hear your voice more often
Even at those times when I get persistent
What I really wanted was to listen to you
To have you nearby a little bit longer
To prolong your stay some more
I wanted to listen to those assuring words over and over
And smile at you when you're not looking
To understand what your life is like
I'll always believe in you
You showed me who God is
You told me that God loves me
What more could you do for me than that?
They still stare at us
Wherever I go
Is it okay for you to walk with the so-called silvered curse?
It would've been better if you just let go of my hand
Nah, it's better this way
They don't understand
I don't need them to understand
I didn't ask to be born different
But next time, if there is
I will

Invisible Writer

You're always knocking at my heart
Then draw tears when my eyes are still wide
You turn things upside down as you like
And you're still my one love

You tell me my dad loves me
About his inability to show it
You show me my mom needs me
All the way behind that curtain of temper
I ask myself why I should be kind to people
Yet I worry if you'd ever stop being kind to me
I think I have a heart of stone
But you keep it throbbing

Over?
Has my time come?
But I open my eyes
As another morning greets me
This journey is still far
There are still puzzles to unscramble
Whenever I stumble and fall
I get back up
Knowing it was you who supported
I hate it when I doubt myself
But then you will sing me a story
And tell me to believe

I do not know who I am
Because everything about me belongs to you
You, my God

星の遠くに

複雑です
心の安らぎを求めている
きっとどこかにあるのに
なぜ手に入らないの?
まるで忘れられた存在のように

淋しくて愛おしくて
いつか会えると信じ
あの人の笑顔がなんでこんなにいとおしくなったんだろう
いつも笑ってた
よく隣にいてくれた
たまにいないときは
私が不安になる

多重人格?どうでもいい
あなたはあなた、それでいい
失いたくない
抱きしめたい
帰ってよあなた
こんなに待たせないで

たったの5分でも
買い物の途中であなたが試着しに行ったとき
なんとなく5年間のように
なぜかその5分の間に
またあなたが消えてしまうような
わずかな時間
永遠のように感じる

離れたくなくてゴメン
私に愛されてること
どうか許して

With love, for Palestine

一つの愛

空が赤く照らされた時
母は悲しげな顔を隠した
幼い弟を見つめながら
私たちはやむを得ず家を出た

たぶんこれは天罰だろう
果敢ない幸せを追い続けてた僕たちは
大事なことを忘れ踊っていた
昔から約束された天敵はいずれやって来て
あれから何十年も
じいさんたちが私たちに残した遺産は
むしろこの戦いしかない

友達、学校
そういうもの感じたかった
きっと楽しくて、きっと笑える
父の愛さえ分からない私は
命の意味を問うていた
世の中を問うてた
だけど母はいつも笑いながら
大丈夫だよって言ってくれた
わからないよ、あの時の私が
なんで僕たちばかりがこんな目に
なぜ父が死ななきゃいけないの?と
毎日、涙が私を寝かせていた

いま僕はわかる
やらなきゃいけないことがあること
一人ぼっちになっても
僕を見て愛してくれてる神様がいる
その神様は今
亡くなった父も、母も、弟も
どこかで見守ってくれてるだろうと
そして僕の出番がやっと来た
一つの愛を信じ
この戦場に踏み出す

***English version***

Believe In One Love

There was a time when the sky turned red
And mother hid that sad face from me
I wonder what future awaits my little brother
As we stepped out of that house

Could this be punishment from above?
When we chased after the fleeting happiness on earth
We danced only to forget the most important thing
The enemies promised in our early days finally came
And since then years passed
What our ancestors passed down to us
Is nothing more than this fight

Friends to play with, going to school
I always wanted to know what it feels like
It must be fun and full of laughter
Not even knowing what a father's love is like
I started to wonder what life is
I began to doubt everything
But then mother would always smile
And tell me it will be alright
I didn't understand, I was too young
Why are we the ones to carry this burden?
Why did father have to die?
Everyday, tears put me to sleep

Now I comprehend
That there's something I must do
Even if I'm left alone
There is God who looks at me and loves me
That very God right now
Is probably looking after them too
My father, my mother, and my brother who died
And then my turn finally came
Believing in one love
I stepped into the battlefield

A look into a person's heart.

ELIXIR一郎

Woke up early in the morning
Somewhat sleepy, somewhat late
10 minutes left time to pray
A new day begun again

After prayers the holy book
And after that a delicious breakfast
I crouched in front of the screen, wondering
What should I write, for this report

Things got a little hazy, things got a little blurry
Into another slumber you sent me
That alarm You told me to set earlier
Rang at 7:45, and I realized I was dreaming

A little bit of this, and things that I don't like
But since You gave it, it must be good for me
Then at 8:15, finally You showed me what to write
A brilliant report that I never thought of

しっかりしていたい、はっきりしていたい
朝ってミラクル、あなたはワンダーフル

Light Binder

It's not the weather
Probably is has come
The time of the year
When snow falls in midsummer
While ants gather around a rotten apple
I stare at the sky wondering
Has cosmic started its alignment?
And it is not a dream

Funny how complicated things are
To have two souls in one body
Funny to be the one who crosses time
But still this uneasiness lingers
Just what is this anxiety?
To watch myself with the eye of the heart
Reality isn't quite what it seems

I ask for only one answer
What should I know and what shouldn't I?
The Light Binder made me from clay
And put us above spectrums of light
Alas the traveler picks up hes sword
Somewhat heavy, somewhat far
50 years later se promises to return
And it was a long day for hem again

Look At Me

Always wanting You to look at me
I forgot about the things you gave
Going around wondering how to make You love me
But I never looked at those You blessed
Do they really love You? I always ask
Do they even know You? I ask with angst
I can't help but weep
Everytime their words make You look weak
But I forgot that humans make mistakes

Why didn't I see when I sat under the stars
Birds flying back to their nests after a long day work
That small stream flowing nearby
Had it always been that blue?
I see now Your love is infinite
Hatred from jealousy leads to nowhere
If I always want to despise
When will I get out of this prison called delusion
But now I've climbed the walls
And saw a beautiful rainbow arc

Life is short
My journey is almost over

Resting Area

I have chosen this road
This difficult road

Not everyone can move
Now everyone can just wait
Someone has to do it
While someone can just sit
I sat down for too long
My legs have gotten numb
Time to spread these wings
And begin a new journey

Too long the rest was
Too short the journey will be
Why not take a break? say them
Because it's too easy
The traveler always walk on
From the past to the future
Always smiling
But never looking back
That's how travelers are
And I don't want to be the one who waits

My lover once said
"If fighting is our destiny,
Then there is nothing to do but fight"
But no one knows their destinies
Till everything ends
Still I want to be the one who flies
I will be the one who learns

Countless Treasures

We are always fighting
Always struggling
Don't hold back those tears
It's part of life

We are always looking back
Always saying the same "I'm alone"
Now I look again
And then I look again
How many battles have I gone through?
To struggle against sadness
To get to know true loneliness
I've befriended darkness
Oh foolish days

"I'll protect you" was an undeliberate lie
In fact life is full of lies
Have you ever found yourself
The last one standing with the flag
Then dimensions flip
And you're in the next battle
Yes, that's right
Life is full of pain
By getting hurt we learnt that blood is red

And still I have time to write
And still these hands leave their marks behind

Back To Earth

Mysterious the way people work
Notoriously challenging the rules
And though knows, believes not
And that applies to me too
How can this training be so short?
And while people fuss over trivial things
I wonder why I only see the big picture

When they draw me the small pixels
I happened to see more than black and white
As I see what's between 0 and 1
Can't help but think how small it can break
Unable to say no to those things
I start learning again

What's the big picture?
0 or 1
It's true it's not enough
Nothing more that foundations
Maybe I'm starting to see it
Because I'm not a robot
After all I'm a traveler
Who travels and learns

Scarecrow

It's time to go
困ってる人がいるからこそ
私たちは動く

When I told you we have to move
You called me a fool
For abandoning knowledge that could be a tool
You said wait, it's not time yet
Just like them, always waiting
Then do you know who they are?
The people who said the same thing in the past hundred years
But what changes? What do you see?
All promises made, few actually done
The rich just rise higher
While more people struggle in poverty
What is this promise that you want to make?
History proved it, what else is there to say

When people move, those who don't will be left behind
How can you laugh here
When you know out there people are suffering?
Someone's working on it? How do you know
You're doing it your own way? What is your way
Always making promises
人間の悪い癖

Because you will be asked more than this
On judgment day
And no one will back you up
Unless you wake up from those selfish dreams

Between Sunset And Sunrise

Something moves in the hearts
Birds that flap their wings under the red sky
Always wanting to fly, we repeat the same mistakes
An ocean that was blue holds treasures
Deep down at the bottom lie the secrets
So near yet untouchable

Have we thought as we walk on this earth?
How we hurt the trees just because they can't speak
They say you can tell animals apart at a glance
Amidst stupidity we are different
Tomorrow comes at a steady pace along with death
And with death comes lie, the size of a palm

We know everything is a blessing
The mountains that hold strong, the earth that revolves
Diamonds in the sky show the way
To sailors, to travelers as well
Birds that sing, birds that fly
Over the snowtops the deers ran
Though you admit that laughter is remedy
Why deny those you can't grasp?

Look forward as you walk on this earth
You might see where pillars of the sky stand
I had been fooled for a long time
When I thought emotion is a lie
A forget-me-not smiles at the sun
A small stone stares up at the wide night sky

Tokyo Heart

Enough with our stories
Time write a new chapter

Beneath a forbidden land you wipe sword
Clean from blood that you shed from those poor souls
Against each other again and again
Then under the same silver-leafed tree you sat
Filling each others' cups with tea
Reminiscing the good old future drama
What brings? What says? What is this?
Enough with madness, we'll write a new chapter

Could it be gold that they seek?
Singing under the moonlight a blank lullaby
It's not hard, it's easy this way of life
But they say no, when we haven't even asked

Hmm... hymn a long hymn
Thinking, thinking is a road
Leading to a birth of a new face
But people only trust their greed

Complexity makes things look great
Sometimes it brings us to our knees
I wonder if I'll be able to slip out
When will this be answered
This circle of life

While Unearthing Diamonds I Found...

I know somewhere out there you are crying
I know what the stars see when they embed the night sky
If it is our destiny to hold onto third thread
It will come through a looking glass

Somewhere is what's beyond
In another sky someone awaits

People never cease to wait in vain
Even as light moves on as fast to tell the time
Why won't they believe that time can play like music
Repeating over and over again
Or going backwards
Or even stop

A sweet fragrance tells of a story from the future
That has not yet begun but that soothes the pain
The pain after being clawed and torn then sewn again
Ahh, what they call a curse is but a wonderful miracle
When the birds sing in the blue sky I gazed at the hill
Where you sat, where you waited
Where it all will begin

And creatures of darkness are made of fire
Who would've thought they could work otherwise
They always say nothing matters
But they had always understood
In the name of the Creator who made me from earth
I vow to fight and retain peace on this land

Democracy

If little children are killed
If women are raped by consent
When war is won by the one with supporters
Even though they know people are dying
People are suffering
And they still say it's the best
If people have to starve
And enslavement occurs again
If knowledge is all it's about
And morals are thrown aside
They let one side bomb the other
But call the other terrorists when they resist
If this is what you call democracy
We don't need it

If only one side gets to speak
And frequent deaths by mistake are overlooked
If only one side controls the media
And no one realise they are brainwashed
When ruthless killing still exist
When a group of people are stomped upon
Just because they don't share the same idea
And just because they fight for what had been stolen from them
You call them terrorists
If anyone gets to insult another
If everyone is free to say what they want
Without a limit, even if someone gets offended
When a friend makes fun of his mother's impaired feet
When a husband laughs at her brother's brain deficiency
And everyone gets to have their say
If this is what you call freedom of speech
We don't need it

But if you call democracy
A place where no one hurts another
Where offenders are dealt upon with justice
And an intelligent ruler walks along his people
Looking at what they eat
Looking at what they're wearing
Then he himself dons the same thing
And eats the same thing
Where understanding is more important than knowledge
When no one is a slave by consent
Where everyone REALLY gets the chance to speak
Without hurting or offending anyone
Where rulers are chosen by majority
Not by unseen voters
And technology is a tool
It is not our god
Then people work to save the earth
And people, and animals as well
When people watch suffering people on the media
They get sad and move to help
Be far they are
Be poor they are
They don't just share their wealth
But they share their sufferings
If this is what you call democracy
It is not far from Islam
If this is what you call democracy
We would not fight you

If you see artists as idols
If everyone struggles to be seen
While no one wants to be the one watching
Except those who benefit from that struggle
When people are judged by their status
By what they have, what they wear
People chase after beauty while their folks grow thin
If commercials tell people what to buy
While small dealers just collapse
If you walk by and see a homeless man
And you don't feel a bit of sympathy
When you think it is the norm of life
To have the poor and do nothing
If you cry over a dying population on the TV
Then have a good night sleep right after
If you have no remorse for that small mistake
Because you don't think anyone will remember
If doctors have to be paid to treat
If rulers have to be paid to write testaments
And women are either denied to equality
Or they are forced to work
If this is what you call democracy
Remember that it won't last long

Savior Murderers

None of us are in love with war
What you think is but misconception
Then why all the guns and the bombings?
As we climb walls and practice?
When humans are enslaved by other humans
And enslaved by their own greed
We hate war
But we hate more when girls are brainwashed to prostitute

You are slavery by consent
And we are fighting those who enslaved you
Why hate us for carrying rifles
When you love those justice warriors in dramas?
All you hear are from your leaders
Your leaders who are in fact enslaving you
You never get to hear the truth
And you choose to be blind
You choose to call us war-maniacs

We do not just protect ourselves
We do not just protect our families
Religion is a must
Patriotism is rubbish's tool
If you choose to read history you will see
What religion really was
It is the way of life
It is what frees you from corruption

You choose not to see
Thinking you are free
We see brainwashed people
All fooled in misery
And we choose to fight
Though we never love to spill blood
It is the rule of the land
Where tyrants must perish
And where will you go?
Will you support your tyrants?
Or will you mock us, and call us terrorists?
You write in your scripts and films
Of saviours bathing in blood
Cherishing them, wishing they exist
In fact they are in front of your eyes
But you choose not to see

There are things allowed by God
Which God Himself doesn't like
It is called divorce
A separation of man and wife
It is not something pleasing to anyone
It is not the sign of true civilisation
But God gave those blessings
Because we need it
And there are things allowed by God
Which we do not like
It is called battle
A fight to defend humans' rights
Sane humans hate to kill
Only mentally-ills are happy to ride
And they are the ones overpowering you
While we move to free you
So where will you go?
And God gave those orders
Because without us
When all of us are gone
You have no clue to where to find justice

We will go
When the time comes we will leave
Forever leaving this world
Wait for that time
As we are also waiting
Then where will you go?
When there is God on our side
The God who gave you so much
But you who turned away
Who will give you protection?
We will leave this world
The justice warriors you longed for so much
The warriors who were in front of you all the time
The very ones you spat on their faces
When we are gone
Along with the peaceful life that you needed
No one else will fight for you
And no one will protect you

Love Hurts

I have something to say
A longing to fulfil
What have I done
To forget this love
What my hands have done to upset you
I'll repay with my everything

So many days passed
Ever since autumn leaves left their mark
A face I used to love
To long for so long
A person I wanted to hug
That I always loved
Just silently with the breeze
Wrapping my arms around hes shoulders
I've forgotten
What it felt like to love
To miss someone so much

To hate memories
Never looking back
Cause knowing this will happen
This very moment
When I start missing those days
The days where I chased after you
The day we swore to love each other
And those following moments
When there was nothing I loved more
Than to see you every single day

Know my love, that I still hate looking back
Looking back on those days
Those days when nothing could hold me back
When everything I wanted was you
But look at me now
Nothing more than a figure
Lost and stumbling
Falling over and over
The light seems so far
And you are far too
When I walked away on my own

What is it that I seek
Satisfaction from lust and greed?
Denying, but God knows
How much I need help
I'm the weak traveler
Who's lost everything
After such a long time
These tears fall again
As I realize
That I've fallen deep down the trench

You are not an illusion
Not a toy I can play with
Can I just sit down
And stare at you in the eyes
Recalling those lovely green gems
Ahh let me forget those days
The days I loved you
Let me leave these days
The days I turn my back on you
I'll keep on walking
Though the road's tough
I'll find the answer
The day will come
When I'll love you again
The way it should have been
Then I'll look at you again
And probably smile without tears down my cheeks

Probably you don't know
But I'm the one who left you
The one who walked out on you
But you kept on smiling
Believing in me
And I knew that trust
While I keep on playing around
Still you wait for me
For every single second of my return
Never regretting choosing me
As if nothing is wrong
But it's wrong
Why can't I just hold you?
And hold on strong
Why do I keep going away
When I know I'm not that strong?
And everytime I come back
You're there at the door

Don't go away
Don't show me those regretful tears
I wish you'll never know
The meaning of tsurai omoi
When you know what I am
And what I've been

I still hate memories
Bringing back nothing but pain
God this hurts
Love hurts
Even when I'm the one who's hiding it

Love letter from The Traveler to The Healer.

Expedition Into The Sea

Se came in a strange way
And se's leaving in a strange way
A very aged companion
From the One that goes beyond time

The clock ticks by
Tick, tock, tick, tock...
Echoes on the wall
Se's leaving, oh God, se's leaving
I won't ask why you take hem away
But I beg
Take me with you

Dimensions, time
Space, mass
Matters that matter but not
God you're interesting
What are you keeping behind that veil
So beautiful, so kind
Made words enough to express
Oh the One that toys with my heart
Fascinate me with your stories

Dear angel on my right
There's something you're hiding from us
Is it interesting? Are they what they seem?
One day we'll share our tales
Sitting on the sky
You already know my share
It's time to tell me yours
Dear angel on my left,
Thank you for everything

At sunrise they took me
In front of the crowd
Onto the platform
So I stood
And I looked at the sky
And the infinity beyond
Warm sea breeze on the cliff
Ah, I thought
What serenity...

I'm so thrilled
What does death feel like
And the life after that
I won't turn back
I can't turn back
So I'll just look forward
Anticipating a new start
My heart beats so fast
But my excitement was disturbed by a tap on my shoulder
And I was asked
To give my last word

Last word?
That's tough
So many things to conclude in one sentence
Humans' laws are so funny

"Se came in a strange manner,
And se's leaving in a strange manner,
Se's leaving, my brethrens,
Se's leaving..."

Forbidden Time

Now as I look back
As I tear open a veil called time
There's a portrait of me
In a way I recognize no longer
I knew it, people just change
Maybe that's what interesting
I took down the portrait
And wrapped it neatly in memories

What surprise
One I've not had in a long time
Se had a few pieces missing
Now I hold a fragment of the puzzle
Then I put it in place
Just another piece could be so significant

I added another scene to my life
Just that and the stars appeared again
They gazed at me giggling
I couldn't help but grin
Coz I really have no idea
Since when I could hold out a hand
Reaching into what we call earth
Here I found what I needed

I buried memories in laughter
And kept it beside solitude
I locked the door called past
And drew shut the veil called time

悔しくなんかない

夜:怒ってる?
光:全然。なんで僕が?
夜:いや、まあ、君だもんね

夜:あなたは誰
どうしてそんな冷静にいられるの
自分が馬鹿にされてるよ
自分が認められてないよ
光:君は誰
どうしてそんな文句言うの
馬鹿にされてるのは
認められてないのは
人間っていうもの

夜:どうして笑っちゃう?
今笑われたぞ!
光:どうして気に入らないの?
面白いぞ

夜:あなたのそういうとこが好き
光:ありがとう
夜:いつかあなたみたいになりたい
光:なれなくても愛してるよ
夜:でも本当に理解できない
光:僕、変ってるから
夜:本当、あなた。。。
大好きだね

白:成長したな、光
光:ずっと前からだけど。。
白:いや、全然違う
光:そんなに?
白:俺、正直びっくりした
光:君なんかびっくりできるわけ??
白:でも、お前はやっぱり馬鹿だな
光:君に言われたくねぇな

夜:怒ってないと言ってるのに、号泣じゃない?
光:してないよ
夜:だって、奇妙な笑いしてるもの
光:へえ。。。そんなわけない
夜:悲しかったら、悔しかったら、私に言って
。。。
隠しても無駄だぞ
私には、わかるから、あなたの気持ぐらい
光:笑わせてよ。。。
泣きたくないから、笑わせてよ


だって、僕は旅者だから
夜:。。。
私は、あなたを守りたい
光:よく守ってくれたよ
言えないくらい感謝だ
夜:その強がるあなたのとこが。。嫌なんだ。。
悲しい時は泣いて
悔しい時は怒って
光:悔しい時なんかないさ
自分に嘘をついてても
やがてそれが真実になるから
頑張ってる僕の姿、嫌いかい?
夜:。。辛いんだよ。。。

光:僕は、泣くときもある、笑う時もある
でも悔しいから泣くのって
バカバカしい
ただ、自分の弱さや馬鹿さに負けたとき
肩を、貸してくれ

Eternal Bond

Can I lean against your back now
And trust you to look after mine
Can we sit together under the widespread sky now
Without worrying about what's behind each of us
I am glad I met you
I am glad I have you to call
My companions now and forever

Memories still linger
About friendships that never stay sealed
We were always afraid
Never had anyone to trust
But that all changed
With the power of the One that we share our love
We were able to love each other

"One day you might find me jumping with joy
When you do, remind me of hell
One day you might find me hopelessly down
When you do, remind me of Hes love
One day when you see me weak and helpless
Remind me of heaven and its treasures
If one day I build a barrier between us
Help me tear it down
If there was a time I scarred your heart
Tell me so I could change
When the day comes when I shall sleep my eternal rest
Then shower me with Al-Fatihah and prayers"

I read that a long, long time ago
But I knew how terrible humans can be
Now we have met
Now we have fallen in love
There are you to whom I can say these words
We need not worry anymore
There are people I can trust
Now I can say that
Now I can finally trust

Never have we done this before
Never have we vowed our love to anyone
Thank you my God, for showing us
That we were not alone
Though we are all trying
We trust our backs to each other
And now I walk under the sun
Under the moon, under the stars
Without having to look back
Just walking forward
Towards people waiting for me

I love you my friends
Eternally I love you

White Wind

I have something to share
I have blue skies to watch
To witness
Will you listen to my story
Or will you go as soon as the fun is over
Stay
Look into my eyes
You have to know
A fight that's been going on forever

Is it destiny
Is it a blessing
An image so lustful
Of a memory stained with emptiness
Have you ever looked at the earth
All around you
Did you know if you stop and watch
Everything will talk to you

I asked the persona
Why do you keep coming back?
It is so kind
It is so sweet
But never answers my question
It just play with me
And tell me it's alright
Everything's alright
Nothing's alright

I asked the council
Why didn't you stop it?
They asked me back
Why won't you lend a hand?
A thing I never understand
Is that my heart believes in the truth
But against this one persona
It always shuts its eyes
Ironic
I killed myself
Literally

Are you bored?
Or are you confused?
"What is this, my dear?" says you over there
"What has been bothering you for centuries?
Have you forgotten your destiny?
Do you not own someone a favor?
You used to throw away your life for the truth
Why are you throwing it away for damnation now?
Have you forgotten your destiny?"
My dear, my dear
I never forget my destiny
That is why I'm telling you
What I can't solve by myself
I have no patience, have I?
It is a blessing
To be beautiful
Now I finally understand why they say
Being too beautiful could be a sin

Codename KY

The codename
It's you

Do I have to let go of you now?
And bid farewell till the time comes
But you just won't go away
Once I call your name
There you are again
We both hate saying goodbye
And this is our destiny
If fighting is our destiny
Then fight by my side

I play in your world
You visit my world
God is mysterious
And sometimes humorous
That's the way things are
Live with it
Kneel down
Bow down
In front of the Almighty
Whom we pledge allegiance

When I saw you with your friends
I wished I could be like you
Our worlds are too different
Loyalty here was next to none
Or so I thought
So I kept leaving
I kept going to your side
Then the message was conveyed
That my fight here has never ended

Goodbye is but a few seconds
Are you willing to let me go?
God is miraculous
In the end
We are destined to smile
Because our loyalty
Is only for one

You are my companion
On the path to God

Aurora

Today I make this promise
That I will never make you cry again
Never to embrace other than you
And to always need you

After a long time
I notice
Goodbye starry skies
Where did they go?
Once again after a long
A very long long time
I'm back
Here on this grassy hill

It's slightly changed
With slightly more people
A happy couple
Sat on my grass bed
Up and up
To the top I flew
And stayed there
Recollecting pieces by pieces
Aurora river of stars

This is where it started
Where our love blossommed
This is
My sanctuary

Dozing Off In The Train

Something funny
Going through my mind
I just chuckle
Regardless of place and time
Why do I need anyone else
When I have you napping on my shoulder
Ah, this is bliss
Let it stay this way

Again a smile
Over and over again
People can't resist staring
I know how it feels
It's a dark night outside
I bet a big storm is coming
Tomorrow's gonna be cold
But I have my dark knight by me

I want to sing
Let you listen to the love song I wrote
This is wonderful
To know and to love you always
Wish we could always be like this
Wish we will never fade
God, you gave me
The best feeling ever

Lost Story

If you look at the stars at night
Don't look too far, don't search too deep
I won't be there, just a shy star

Say the words you're not there
But I see a star blinking low
Could it be protecting me from beyond infinity

If you start to move on again, if ever
Walk under the greens, say hello to the clouds
Get hurt a few times, and get back to sleep

Tell me who lived without getting hurt
Hug by your remembrance
Somehow I survived this far

And we were letting go
Of something that was there
Did you know we were never one?

We were never one
Just half of something else
In the dark, silent night I saw an angel

An owl hoots a sad lullaby
Sending the swamp and trees into deep sleep
Then as I sat at your window

Something is there
Crying outside my window
In vain I tried to find an inexisting smile

I'll ask the minister of dreams to give you a good dream
I'll ask the demon lord to stay away from you tonight
And I don't need you to breathe a word

I pray that people will always smile like you
As it is the source of my strength and happiness
So we will take another step together

My smile was never there
I was never there
And you and I have never met

Never once have I met you
Never once have I seen your face
Just through my heart, my intuition

It was too soon, you were too young
For you to notice my black robe was too early
You weren't ready to go

It'll never be too soon nor too late
As time will always be perfect
Unpredictable yet unquestionable

Do not ask who I am, nor ask me to stay
Run into the sun if you see me
Like everyone else would be happy to

Don't stay, don't go away
You're always welcome here
Now and forever

光の歌 Rhythm Of The Light

私には忘れきれない
その苦笑い、その微笑み
かわいいかわいい君に
言葉さえ伝えられたら

いなくなったりそばにいたり
いつも二人でこのペースで
どうして人は傷つくの?
みんな仲良くしたらよかったのに

僕を見つけてくれてありがとう
言いたくて言えなくて伝わったのかな?
ゆっくり君が歩いた
僕に背中を向けて

私は存在しきれない
この体もこの魂もいつか
強い強い君に
最後に歌を謡わせて

君が教えてくれた道
いつも光がさしている
嫌な人が消えてゆく
大切な仲間とともに

僕を見つけてくれてありがとう
言いたくて言ったって笑ってくれた
消えてゆく背中に
涙が隠せない

Wings

The calm one wins
You tell that to others
You show them how it's done
People wonder at your calmness
Some even thought you're just damn stupid
And still you're not the least offended
I could almost swear you're happy
Then I'll also tell you how stupid you are
Coz in the fight that's been going on
Across countless centuries and dimensions
Every single time
You fight them with rage

As time moves backward
In pitch black outer space
From star to star you went
With that black cloud after you
Yours is of a different face
Those ever sparkling eyes
Becomes full of killing intents till the red veins showed
Your crooked half-smile reeks of hatred
Do you even notice you're no longer dancing?
Just foolishly swinging your spear around you
You've become a fool
Not a single drop of your history
Till I care no longer
For the tears and blood that you shed

Shed tears, shed blood
I'm tired of this pace

When time moves back forward
Sometimes it stays behind, sometimes it gets along
And using that mere gap of a time
Se went back
To those waiting for hem
And history rewrites itself again
Se lives that picturesque life of hes again
Sending hes warm aura everywhere
Showing that calmly smiling expression
You idiot
If only you'd remember that when you're alone
Then we won't need to have our hearts beating so furiously

This hand of mine
It's done so many damages in my world
These feet of mine
They overtake lightnings
These eyes of mine
See through the heart of a person
Yet with all these capabilities
I couldn't lend a finger to help you
I can't even see who your enemy is
Therefore don't be ridiculous
Remember the wings you possess

To Snip The Thread

Don't bear it anymore my trusted friend
I'm ready to do this on my own
No longer a little, I have grown
So you can let go now

My heart breaks to say goodbye
But I won't cry
Because this is my tale

A hundred years by my side
Through countless stories
You need not worry anymore
You can let go now

I was young and stupid
And you're always a mystery
Till it is unraveled
Farewell

Somehow I learned to love
Found companions and life
You're not real anymore
But you're always my friend

Don't be afraid to let go
I'm not alone
And the seasons have returned
I'll remember the warmth of your hands
Goodbye my friend
My dear friends

The Traveler

It's been what? 3 years? Since the war
The same place but not quite the same thing
I know I won't see the place I once knew again
Tears of sadness are useless coz then again
This is just another journey

Here my name is this, there my name is that
Back then my name was something-something
I was born on earth
Just a few years behind
But I travel through time
To distant places across galaxies
Minds and dreams all the same

Fighting, loving, teaching, and learning
All those stuff, all those tragedies
My tears have fallen uncountable times
To regret the mistakes I made
That cost the lives of many
And though sometimes time is reversible
Memories will be overwritten
Till nobody remembers the uneventful things
That I still remember

Alas, the time will come
For this journey to be over
It is still far away
For now stretch out
And finish this adventure to get to the next

Sheesh

You looked at the wave of humans
And the night lights around you
Sighed, another day had passed

They talk and they chat
They care not what you may think
With ease you keep yourself apart
Their major interests bore you the most
Flinging your bag to your shoulders
You went away from their mean smirks
Yet you yawn and got along with your three friends
Other than the four of you
There is no one that you care about
Everyone sucks, you hate them

Even after you met that person
It wasn't long before you had to go
Across the universe, over galaxies
Penetrating through the night sky
Where the stars shine ever so bright
Losing your leader
Searching for her

As you tread the new earth
Hats and sunglasses and all
Else those you loathe will see you
And say things you hate the most
Your place, this place, what's the difference?
Everyone still sucks, everyone still doesn't understand
What it is that you look for

They say they love you
But will they when it's over?

Trudging among the leaves
You stared at the night sky
With autumn breeze blowing stiffly
Eventhough you hate those people
There's no way you can stand seeing them tremble
You'll give your strength to protect them
And when the terror's over
Continue to hate their insolence

But when there is nothing left to protect
What can you do?

At the end of it all
You returned to the arms of that person
Crying your heart out
For all the failures and suffering
As the sun rose beneath the horizon
That person told you that the nightmare is not yet over
But those around you that you care
They care for you just as much
You know you can go through this life
Eventhough except for some people
You still hate everyone
Therefore with your own hands you'll shape them
Into people you can accept

Red Flower

There is a person
Standing on the beach
With meaningful eyes
Just staring at the ocean
They'll always remember
The way hes long hair is blown by the wind

At the water edges se stands
Surrounded by them
Their weapons point out at hem
As se recalls a story
Se looks up at the sky
Gazing into the universe
Asking the same question
"Where do I belong?"

A place se used to call home
Now seeks hes life
Se's a blood-thirst ravager
Who has no desire to return
As they thrust their weapons
Se sighes
All se wants is
To place a white flower on a sword
Which marks the grave
Of the only one who knew the truth
But no matter how se tries
Se always fails

There is a tale
Of a child still-born
They offered hem to the demons
In exchange for serenity
And for reasons no one knows
The child lives
Se grows up strong
To have hes revenge
Till now the tale lives
The story keeps on being repeated
From ancestor to grandchildren
The demon child's tale

There is a person
Standing on a beach
Scattered with people
Holding a red flower
Se stares at the sword
And walks up to it
Holding out the bloody offer
Adding to the rest

Se kneels and prays
With that emotionless face
As someone creeps up from behind
Raising high an axe
And down it goes
Slicing the air
Along with the hands
Thudding the ground
The man saw the flames
In the eyes of the person
But se just turned hes back
And walked back to the shore

As night falls
Se stands at the seashore
The sound of the rocking waves
Goes far and wide
Just another planet
Just another galaxy
If you see hem try to say hello
Because se may be there for a moment
And the next thing you know
Se never appears again

On The Ring Of Existence

この指にする指輪は
君を表してる

Waking up from a long, long sleep
And sun rays piercing through the curtains
どんな夢を見たか?
Without bothering about pyjamas
Treading on the spring grass
Smiled
As se embraced the unexpecting figure
先に君に会えてよかった

On the edge of the universe
A planet as alike but different
A gap in the star chart
Silent planet, isolated
On the edge of the ring
The sphere of existence
An ocean as blue
A sky as bright
And three stars round a jewel
Though a little different it's the same
In a notebook
Write down its name

Like a cerebrus among pheonixs
Yet in another unknown world
Charms that attract though restrained
Or it may be just foolishness
Be what it may
Be far it be
This ring proves all
An irreplaceable green gem

Goodbye is but a while
People meet and meet again
But nostalgia stays
So preserve those blue skies
A place for someone to return to

Moths

Once again I saw the moon behind the clouds
I try to call out to the stars
And once again
I realize that there is no one waiting for me
There is no place that would accept me
How long do I have to run
Before the night ends
Could this be there is all to life

Does it feel good to lie awake at night
In the black casket just staring up at the sky
And I hear some voices moaning
But turns out it was just the wind
I'm left alone again

Why are there only black moths perching on my hands

Once again I saw the red moon in the sky
I saw a white star fades out
Everynight
I wait and wonder if sleep will come
To these heavy eyes of mine
How long do I have to watch
Till these eyes close
Could this be there is all to life

Midnight Never Ends

Combing your silky hair in front of the mirror
Placing down the comb, putting on a mask
You walked gracefully into the ballroom
With that person at your side
Yes, that's how it is
Your life
Is like a masquerade

When you are there
Your laughter is prettier
Than the tinkling of bells
With that velvety scent
Drawing people towards you
You await them with that gesture, with that smile
Your hand held out welcoming
You're an idol, a very beautiful one

Everytime you dance
Stars bloom one by one
The moment you stare into people's eyes
They'll be at loss for words
The moment you gaze from the corner of your eyes
People melt, not a shred of conscious left
Will you remember
That carefree life you lead
As soon as you fall asleep?
Because at midnight
That nightmare will begin


Every night, every midnight
A long, long dream
Without anyone you recognize
A lonely world
Although you retain that charm
You can no longer poise gracefully
If you do, they'll take advantage of it
That fragrance of yours
And you'll be left smeared in black
Crouching in a corner, crying
With fake saviours all around
How can you afford to stand?
But you kept on rising
Till you can bear it no more

A dream that's longer than reality
Why should it exist?
On nights when no stars are visible
You ask to yourself again and again
You cry unseen tears
When you think no one's looking
You didn't see that hidden figure
Beneath the shadows, behind the trees
That person watching your sufferings
But se couldn't reach out a hand to help
Whenever se calls out to you
You'd respond with a smile
Out of confusion, you created that barrier
Repelling those who tried to help you

Do you hear that person's cry
As se regrets hes inability to save you?
Will you stop those remarks
About the fate of a traveler?
Don't you want the nightmare to end?
Or are you better off alone?

On top of a canyon
Shooting stars can be seen
The starry sky spread out wide
A universe
There you were, with the persons that you love
Who you would throw away your life for
At times like that, you'd love to forget
The terrible nightmare haunting your sleeps

The starry sky
Is an infinite times better than sunset
You who fell in love with the starry sky
You whose lover's name is the night sky
Do you remember?
Who created the night sky

Once again the nightmare begins
The darkness slices open your heart
Everytime you sleep
It is painful, too painful
But you've finally realized
Even in there, you are never alone
The same night sky
The same creator
Someone still cares

As morning rays pierce through the clouds
The long nightmare takes a break
It will start again
It will not stop just yet
You sat in deep thoughts
Remembering the tears that person shed
You tried to hide your sufferings
But to no avail
Despite your cool attitude and naughty grins
They saw the pain in your eyes everytime the sun sets
You ran to where the stars play everynight
Because you cannot sleep
Do you think no one knows about it?
You don't like it when that person cries
It is your fault and you know it

You hold knowledge about darkness
You bear missions darker than darkness
No matter what, you don't wish
For your beloved companions to get involved
Thus you'll take down the barrier
Let that person help by being the weak one
And cry on hes shoulders when you're dying inside

You are still a traveler
But your strength comes from someone greater
Someone who will be by your side
For eternity

Lights, Camera, Action

I do not understand
What it feels like to be a star
I've never been one myself
And will never be for real
They told me don't
Whether realizing it or not
That is what they conveyed to me
That is their message

Like a song I once heard
A world full of lies
Just waiting to be added more and more
To this world where nobody cares
Lies are exquisite
People live in dreams

To this little traveler
Lies are but absolute evil
That world where everything's so beautiful
When behind it lie tears and blood
People know, yet people cherish
Is it imbecility? I don't think so
People are just tired
Too tired of reality

I've seen and known people who tried to escape
Away from reality because it hurts
But it won't do no good
Alas I only managed to assure myself
Again I watch as idols dance on stage
With their make-up smeared smiles
And gears that make them sweat heavily inside
All the way just for the audience
It's true affection they say

I've seen, I've felt
The feelings of idols, though I'm not part of them
Because I'm THE traveler
I don't need a mind reading prox
Or a prox with visions
What's in front of me tells me
The things they're hiding
They told me of their terrible lives
Of the things they had to endure
They complained of being unable to be
Who they naturally tend to be
Of the life-long acting on their shoulders
Of the fake smiles and broken hearts
They told me through their twinkling eyes
That there is more than is shown
Behind the scene of 'behind the scene'
There is nothing but shattered souls

Hollow Black

This fear I have
Of that prayer coming true
Lies before my eyes
A scene never seen
A hundred years pass
Soon another hundred
In the blink of an eye
I lost the hope to trust
Don't die on me friend

In a cold metal world
There I sat staring
Looking at the moon
That used to be so small
As I continue this life
Forever waiting
Waiting for
The angel of death that never came to see me
But one by one
Like flowers in the wind
My friends wilt away
Leaving another scar

Again and over again
People meet and love each other
But how am I supposed
To give strength
To this wounded soul
When whenever I see someone
I see written in red
The day se will die

And I still remember
The day when the last person
Among those I used to know
Grows old and dies

A summer hotter than before
A winter colder than usual
Hearts that grow colder
A body that stays rejuvenated
There was once a time
When I prayed for a long life
Never expected it to come true
Nor to be this painful

I was there when the last civillians died
Watching judgement day pass by
I stood between hell and heaven
And finally realized
That I'm alone

As the sun rises
Back to the time
A hundred centuries ago
I wake up from a long, long sleep
And hope
For it to stay a dream

Grasping The Unseen

That fragrance
I've smelled it before
A far away memory

Lying awake at night
Listening to silence
I feel the fragrance close by
So close in my grasp
How should I describe
This feeling of eternity

Night gets darker
As clouds block the moonlight
A peaceful sound
Plays in my ears
I try to recollect
Remember a lost scenery
A secret hidden
Deep within

Holding tight
To what's keeping me real
I've seen it before
I've known it before
The serenade
And tranquility

Ghouls Of Memories

Is it good to forget?
Is it easy to forget?
I wonder which is it
Always treasuring my memories
Every part of it
Where my companions are always with me
I want to understand
Why did se decide to forget
No, se didn't just forgot
I know
Se just doesn't want to remember

"Eventhough I will lose my memories,
I won't forget what I learnt each time"
Hes very words
I didn't understand at first
Nor do I now
I want to know
What are the reasons
Behind those tears?
I tried to understand
Why se wakes up at midnight
And cries alone
Never have I seen
Such a weak feature of hem
Se has given me strength
I want to be hes strength now

If I had such experiences
Would I do the same?
Or maybe I'd just keep pitying myself
Is it good to forget?
Is it easy to forget?
Is it because se's forgotten
That se is what se is now?
Does that mean I have to forget
To achieve such level?
But still I can't afford
To lose what I remember
The smiling faces of my companions
The fun we had together
Even the great destruction
But most of all
I don't want to forget
Every single moment with hem
It hurts when I watch hem cry
I'm glad I'm able to comfort
It hurts too much I can't help
It hurts even more seeing hem crumble in my hands

I didn't see with my own eyes
Hes tears gleaming under the moonlight
But I know
Out there
Se is hurt

Is it good to forget?
No good
Because I can't help with anything
Is it easy to forget?
It's easy
But it's no good either
Souls of forgotten memories
Will return and haunt
It's no good!!
Just stop it already
Stop making hem cry!
Memories, whoever you are
I will crush you
I will find you
And put an end to you myself

Emerald Clock

The feelings in us
Of half despair and fear
Throbbing, beating furiously
Flowing tears overtake the sea

Wind blows, shaking the palm trees
Shells washed onto the seashore
Sparkling under the starry sky
Wavers in the distance
Hot tears can’t be stopped
Those who chase mortality
Become waves
And wash us away

Hear the song of the sea
The last melody

Sadness it's always with me
I'm depending on you to save me
This is what I always wanted to ask
Why didn't I cry when I got far from you?
Even though I love you too much?

In the light rain under the night sky
A thousand questions swirl and swirl
I'm losing your hand in the waves
Can I find it back?
All my life, I live for you
Unlike straight bamboo poles
I fall
And washed away

Hear the wind whistling
The last rhythm

It dances, it ballets, the feeling
Wait for me, I'm hoping
I can't swim on my own
Can I find your hand in the darkness?
Don't say it’s over

Unconsciously chained myself to the floor
I can only wait no matter how long
For you to break me free
Certainly I haven't been obedient
Please forgive me for that
One more chance
