Cut Deep 02:43
This is my goodbye to a friendship I’m drowning in. This is the end to a tragedy where I’ve spent too many years of my life neglected. I’m staring at blind eyes, laughed at and disrespected This is my goodbye to a friendship I’m drowning in This is my goodbye to your objectification No longer a victim of your intimidation I was tied down and despised all the time If I ever had a choice could it really be mine? Tell me what have I done? What have I done to you? Look at me, I’m broken. Look at me what have I become? Your attitude an open betrayal. What have I become thanks to you? We used to be that close I trusted you, goddamn! But once you open your mouth words as weapons cut open my head. Words as weapons cut deep

I’m in a state where everything’s fine Illusion I guess but at least I’m alright No expectation, no hope or dare I confronted the past now I’m aware (that) all consciousness means tragedy I recognize this animosity till I find peace within this world till I find peace with myself with nothing but myself I’m in a state where everything’s good Just another illusion misunderstood First, I forgot then I suppressed I crashed in a hole inside my chest I can’t remember how it feels to cry There’s no such thing as a ‘last time’ I truly won’t appease this world that won’t appease my fainted self Senseless to say this isn’t a game A constant struggle with my own domain I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m alright I’ve tried. I’ve failed. Guess I’m alright

What’s the core of thought? What keeps the complexity of life floating? In the pursuit of a moment of happiness and romance without reason and doubt Close your eyes. Make a start Learn to fly in the reign of heart But the day you touch the sky you’re going to fall apart It’s just an end in itself The result of a repressive tolerance The pursuit of happiness through forced conformity without any chance to defend Close your eyes. Make a start Because once you’re flying high you’re about to fall down In the end it’s not my fault I’m just caught in this modern fraud I’m veiled in misery, in competition and self-deceit. In the end it’s not my fault I’m caught in this modern fraud

Slow Burner 02:27
From where it starts to where it ends After twelve months of winter the new year’s ahead- Without fireworks and without room for change I throw my head in the pillow. Laying low in the sweetest of dreams. Burning slow in the dark of the night. Hiding from a world that’s drowning in its schemes No, I don’t want to take part anymore Everything around me is in decline Discontent is eating me from the inside I don’t know what to do. Without a new sunrise there’ll be no headroom for me to keep up with your society I throw my head in the pillow. Laying low in the sweetest of dreams. My hands are trying to cover my ears protecting me from reality’s screams. No, I don’t want to take part anymore Everything around me is in decline Discontent is eating me from the inside I don’t know what to do. Without a new sunrise there’ll be no headroom for me to keep up with your society Every beginning comes to an end Until I wake again.

Since I set foot on this staggering pitch you wouldn’t let me go. Now I’m trapped in an unbearable status quo. You gave me identity and attitude from the first time I entered the gates to my life-long home Twenty years passed by. I swear I’ll take this to my grave. The love, the pain the hope, the hate. The true colors stitched on the flag I wave Love let me go. I’m trapped in an unbearable status quo. You gave me identity and attitude from the first time I entered the gates to my life-long home Twenty years passed by. I swear I’ll take this to my grave. The love, the pain the hope, the hate. The true colors stitched on the flag I wave It hurts so much but I have to tell that I moved on and met someone else I never wanted it to end this way. And if I tell the pals I know I’ll fall from grace But it was you who pushed me in this direction. This new community gives me satisfaction Twenty years passed by. I swear I’ll take this to my grave. The love, the pain the hope, the hate. Another time another place

Please embrace me with disturbing beauty Fulfill my life with clarity Take me back to where I came from and transcend all necessity Where I came from there was solace Where I came from there was hope Adore the moment of desire Enlighten this devastating void Praise that feeling and admire that tonight will mark a turning point Where I came from, I found solace Where I came from, I found hope I want to be adored I want to be naive With a rest of confidence and faith I dare you to embrace me

In a moment of silence I heard your pain so I reach out. Behind closed doors I felt your claim, overcome 心の中を通り過ぎていく あらゆる感情を抱いて おやすみ (With every emotion that passes through your heart, good night) Believe me when I say it’s not your fault The world’s a fucked-up place and pressure’s always on, on us I know that you’re scared and so am I I truly cannot say if there’s an end in sight But if you want me to be with you I’ll be there. Let’s search for pleasure and beat every despair. 心の中を通り過ぎていく あらゆる感情を抱いて おやすみ (With every emotion that passes through your heart, good night) Yes, I believe that deep inside we all strive for certainty and forms of expression Overcome your pain
