Moonlight/月光 - Kitani Tatsuya x Harumaki Gohan

Lyrics below ⬇️ yes I know my voice sucks compared to Ruidrones
Got a sight of that growing pile of junk
Trashed by tattered rags and left to rust
Taking form of a nonsense shape, another replica
These words written by someone else
And these tones played by someone else
Turn into a collage of my false artistry
In the unknown story, there was a boy
–scripting his creation from his burning love
But when we took notice, his soul had been crushed
Almost like a child crying over losing his toy
Why does that spotlight keep shining down on me?
Wait! Don’t turn your back on me! You’re fading farther than I can reach!
I’ll never be like you, I can’t shine like you
You’re like the moon I’ll never reach
No matter how hard I try, my heart remains unsatisfied…
I was alone, I was left behind
Left in dulling memories, once vivid dreams..
From tracing someone’s brilliance
Garbage piles on, days pass by
Rags soaked in blood, sweat, tears–but it was I
Whose anger had gone too far from sight
Tell it straight, what am I missin’ here?
Dear God, won’t ya’ hear me, please?
I felt the fallen angel’s arrow point, shutting up
It wasn’t hard, I knew the answer from the start
Wasting time, acting foolish to it all
Nurturing the free gift given, this sword I’ve held
How many struggles can keep piling?
Is it time for me to leave everything behind?
In the end, nothing will matter in time
All my love for these words will wither away with my name
What’s with this beat beating behind my chest?
It sounds similar to the loneliness of a silent winter’s night
I was in solitude, known to no one
You were alone watching the stars
And didn’t see the red forming in my tear filled eyes
Once beside me, but you’ve moved on without me
Blurring my sight of those dull-vivid dreams
Still I chased your back fading from me!
Whether I’m a real, a fake, or a lie
When I look back all that’s been left behind
Memories that were blurred by your shine
Oh? Me being a waste is irony?
A cliché that I’m trying to escape, but…
“Another rehash of someone else again?”
Ah! Too much stardust in my eyes
Sinking and fading from the eustasy
The moonlight is far too cruel and brutal
“Is your identity just another falsity?”
“Would you steal if it meant you’d be loved?”
It was past noon when the sheep-like clouds floated overhead,
A nostalgic song came as the wind swept softly throughout,
And I remembered all the words you had said to me,
It was your voice that taught me to write down your words–and remember the fire!
I’ll never be like you, I can’t shine like you
You’re like the moon I’ll never reach
No matter how hard I try, my heart remains unsatisfied…
As time passes on, life goes on
I hope I can look back proud at how far I’ve reached
From tracing someone’s brilliance
Garbage piles on, days pass by
Running towards our never-ending dream
And I know I’ll find my light if we move—forward!
