How to Devour Life

My problem is that I can never stop talking

But who let the world tell me that's a problem

This place of burning sky scrapers

How do you feel

My ears hurt from this loud sound

My heart beats with the beat of the song

I allow you to lose your mind

Just don't forget to lock the doors

We all have such interesting worries

It's such a shame that no one would listen

I really wouldn't know what to do if the sky didn't turn red that day

Now I just run

I don't understand the meaning of the unfamiliar words

But I understand the meaning behind the music

Please listen to this song with me

If we don't wake up tomorrow

Listen with me

My problem is that I can never speak

But who let the world tell me that's a problem

Tokyo Ghetto

Live off the debts of your empty promises

As your words get more flowery

As the soul fills with dark emptiness

You've seen before

I can't stand to see you

I can't stand to hear anyone now

And I wish to never think again

Left on your own

Outside the city limits

Let your face melt off together with the snow

Of a warm November morning

[aisaii]

Epilogue

With the scent of your perfume

And the warm light of our favorite candles

What a perfect ending to this story

But I can't stand to shake this feeling

That we've overstayed our welcome

The crashing sound of the storm is comforting

Like the depths of the sea

Just close your eyes and count to ten

We'll wait until the clock strikes midnight

That's one way for us to stay young forever

To not waste our time ever again

As I finally forget my name

Never think of me again

Let's sing together for hours

Without understanding the words

Do not cry

You'll never feel the pain again

As the air becomes still

For the very last time

[aisaii]

Knees

How bright are the city lights

On this early night, a Saturday

I feel safe in my dark streets

And I've never seen something more beautiful

Than the empty concrete buldings

Memories linger in your head

I wish for this show to never end

Allow yourself to feel good for a moment

Yes, I know you're trying your best

Pale moonlight

Shinning through the clouds

Memories stay in your head

I know you hate hearing these words

But I want to scream

That I love you

That I love you

Bella

It was a while ago

She would sit next to me in class

And tell me about her dreams

Of becoming an actress

And I would listen

And she would listen to me

Next year

I knew her name was Italian

And I guessed

And I guessed wrong

[aisaii]

Aisai

So bright, so sweet

So I forget where I am

Carry me far, past any places you’ve seen before

I don’t expect you to have all the answers

Just show me a different day

[aisaii]

Movement

Why are you sad that I’m leaving

Why won’t you let me go

I’ll be so happy back there

Will you be sad when I’m gone

When I leave the grey sky behind

A silence is better

Than the noise you are so used to

To be honest

It doesn’t matter to me anymore

To be honest

Now I think you’re selfish

Why are you sad that I’m leaving

Will you be sad when I’m gone
