hey
come with me
i could take you somewhere
south of all we’ve ever known
listen -
can you hear it too?
the birds have forgotten how to sing
it’s so quiet, now
living without love
in a dead city
the wind falls flat
so you can stand - motionless
look -
do you see it too?
the snow that floats up into the clouds
it’s so cold, here
tomorrow
we could cross the frozen river
to that castle that fell from the sky
beautiful, and faded white
can you see them?
the phantoms that wander around here
letting go the love of a lifetime
they see you too
this is the place where sadness is laid to rest
this is the place where the last tears fall
hey
come with me
i could take you there

casi cielo

i fell in love when i met you
i couldn’t save myself
time stopped moving when i first heard your voice
the first time we touched lasted forever
you were my sun in the skies in the morning
black glistening moonlight in my nights
and somehow i found myself here with you
and i knew even then it was heaven
as we met in the mist under sun setting sky
i found myself finally by your side
looking back, across the promenade
weren't we where our hearts belonged?
you were my light and my warmth
and my only love was you - casi cielo
but time goes by so fast
and turns the skies even in heaven
leaving me dreaming i could stay forever with you

aurora borealis

in the morning twilight
choked by biting cold
dizzily i found myself
fainting feebly in the snow
a passionate mauve and radiant emerald
loose dress dancing down from the heavens
"my love, you’re as beautiful as the first day i met you"
were the last words i could remember

in the rain
04:54
|
|||
|
hold me in the rain, overcast in the air
hold me so gently, we’re alone today
silence - no one but us
i stand in the rain
the world is lonely
and encapsulating
as long as you’re here
i’ll keep standing
in the rain
the world falls like droplets in the sky tonight
gloomy tranquility fills the shade
i’m detached and divorced from this dull place
alienated from this world
i’m in a trance

i’m working on my endgame
i’m running out of time
i don’t know how to tell you
i’m leaving this life behind
i’m working on my way out
i know i can make it this time
this is what i've always needed
but i don’t wanna leave you behind
the credits roll on the late night show
tv lights cover us in soft blue
i don’t wanna fall asleep, i’ll wait out the night
i just wanna lay here next to you
and hear your voice, tired in the morning
baby please, tell me what to do
i don’t even want to think about
how i’d say goodbye to you
if i could spend one more night by your side
i know, i know that i would
i just want you to tell me you’d hold me forever
and keep us together, if you could
i’m coming up on my endgame
we’re running out of time
i’m building myself a better life
please don’t leave me behind

why’s it so sad next to you?
our fingers are limp intertwined
i’m left staring at the clouds and i wave my hand
change their shapes for me to get lost in
misspoken
unnoticed
your hidden fears
you just smiled back and turned around and gone
i don’t know
are you watching them too?
what are the shapes they make for you?
tell me...
wave my hand wildly, move the clouds away
can you see me from over there?
do you still miss me too?

i’m just missing you
cuz girl i think i love you
i need to be with you
i’m falling for you
laid distraught in your embrace i know we’ll soon be scattered
first across the earth and then through eachothers’ memories
i’ll say this now - i miss who we were
but it’s autumn; falling leaves only wither
you said you wanted to meet that night you called up my phone
but insecurity’s done so much to me in that time i’ve been alone
still i drove myself out to malibu; we met in a motel for two
to drown in dim topaz flourescence the only romance we knew
so i’m just missing you
as i lay right beside you
i wanted to stay in love with you
but autumn came too soon

if all else fails

who can say
with the way that we’ve been
how, in time
you’ll look back on who we were
will we still have eachother
in time
who can say
with the way that you move
close to me
cold hands so delicately
hold me tangled and torn
to you
it’s been so long i’ve felt this
i need to hear your voice tonight
can’t you tell me we’re okay
i didn’t know how much i needed
to be in your arms tonight
but can’t you tell me
where will you be if all else fails
where will you be if all we have is us
will you still hold me then
with you
what would you do once this all fails
close your eyes and say there’s nothing i can do
nothing could keep me here
with you
where do we go once this all falls apart
i close my eyes and cry, there's nothing i can do
if i tore at the thread between me and you
what can i do once all this falls apart
face to face with myself again asking
why do i hurt who i love

everything we love
we lose
i held on to you
hands wrapped tightly
crying, praying
frantically wishing
take me to that tender smile
i left buried by your side
withering late autumn night
loneliness bites at my bones
so in love
i’m hopelessly lost
i’ve died on every hill we’ve stood on
or was that really you?
it must be because i’m a masochist
that i keep falling for you

人間失格
04:08
|

i left the world where i was born
as flying rubbish in the midday breeze
shirking off these old memories
i fall higher into the sky
letting go of what i called love
my spirit sinks more freely
i fell through the world when i was born
as ice too heavy to be held by the sea
i was already gone before i met you
it was a ghost's voice you heard from me
so i'll set fire to my sadness
to carry these thoughts towards the sky
letting go of letting you know
i write these words only for me
i've missed that world where i was born
where i thought you were waiting for me
but reaching for love that only fell through my hands
as i held too tightly - wasn't for me
so i'll burn away those feelings
to fill the sky with a brighter aurora
igniting the landscape with brilliant neon
in myriad colours as the new constellations

存在証明

how many times can you tell yourself you want to live
before those words start to lose their meaning?
do i want to be alive?
why can’t i answer that question?
is this just what’s become of me?
was my whole life just leading up to this?
failure, fatigue, & disappointment until i give up?
nothing gives me hope.
nothing makes me want to continue.
my life’s become nothing
waiting to fail
leaving myself behind
waiting to give up
so tighten the apathy around my heart
if i’m dying let me die.
loneliness and longing tear me in two
if i’m leaving let me go.
if tonight you held me
i’d still end up crying alone
if tonight you kissed me
i’d still face the morning alone
every night as i wait for sleep
i long for a dream that could never end
forever falling into you
falling back to love with you
i’m not wasting any more time
i know who i am
my life is the everlasting continuance of memories
if i know this i know i exist.

i saw life’s spectacles
a few years ago already
we laid on our backs
in august-autumn fields
queen anne’s lace and wild roses
if i could take into my hands
the vignette edges of a memory
how you looked at me falling into your arms
what you said just before
i love you

a dream of waking
02:28
|
|||
|
i dreamt of how my life could be
i thought that was why i loved you
if you became my reason to live
then without you, i’d just ...die
from living in heaven
i fell out alone
so life is a long stretch of loneliness.
i fell in love a long time ago
i think i’m just missing myself
forever is a series of moments
honestly i’ve been living so wrong
empathy is letting go
obsession is a love song
|

there was one more thing i wanted to say to you
but by now i’ve forgotten what it is
i can barely remember when we were last together
i wonder if you still think of me
you said something like
we could be together forever
was it wishful thinking? or just a comforting lie
if i could see you today i know
it would break my heart again
like the last time you said you loved me
i can’t even remember why
you said something like
we belong together, forever
like the words of a love song
a comforting lie
goodbye, goodbye
goodbye
if you shut your ears you’ll hear it
it’s the voices in the wind
if you close your eyes you’ll see it
the film playing beneath your eyelids
this is the nightmare that follows the daydream
this is the silence ending the song
this is a song of white lies
like that love could last forever
this is a song of forgetting
like closing your eyes - goodbye
