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
