Elucidating Questions

If you saw how many times

I’ve looked up at the sky

To see a shooting star

You’d think I have great timing

When all prior history would tell you otherwise

I don’t know how to believe

It’s not hatred

Just the lack of ability to believe in it

If I could see it for a moment

確かめて

In what?

I wonder

If I could just know

There can’t be a two of us

Not as long as it’s anyone else’s decision

Unless you’re talking about the two of us

He was really pumped to hear that guitar solo

Fuck

The two of us are hopeless

It’s a fun coincidence

Amongst all the others

He probably curses it

I wish I could reach him

Just for a moment

We’re hopeless

I’d tell him

These fragments

Some

Not one

I don’t know when we shattered

It doesn’t matter

As long as our dance doesn’t falter you wouldn’t think

If you could see the spinning change direction

It’s a mind game

The us in our mind

I don’t know if I’ll ever reach it

Complete

But we can maintain the facade

If I could wake up tomorrow

With the strength to face the day

I’ve come so far

I can’t manage one more step

But all the people I called ahead to

They are gone far from my view

I can’t manage one more step alone

How do I steel myself against an unknown expanse of time in torture?

The walls were closing in long ago

I screamed

I did

もうダメって

Here we go into tomorrow

Still left to my devices

The walls vices

You kept saying take a little more

I took more

More and more

I wish I could just say no

No, show me a better tomorrow or count me out of tomorrow

でも明日に参加するのは自分の決まりにある訳ではない

でしょう

Clarity

I saw myself inside the hourglass

Begging to be let out

Let me crash into someone so the glass shatters and I’ll be free

I can resolve to be myself

But with no one to be myself with how would I know?

Don’t don’t me you don’t

The glass is clear enough

Inhale inhale

I thought I could keep going

I’m not stopped anywhere

You say, waving at everything

It’s funny for a moment

Now this is a guitar solo

Good old fashioned Japanese pop song guitar solo

Okay, I smiled once

I’m just suffering right now if you’ll excuse me

Life is so painfully long

And full of something trying to keep me going

Thanks, something

Into the night we go again?

Even if no one’s there
