The sun shines Colder than it used to feel On my weary face The hourglass Challenges my heart as it beats At a lower pace Faces Come back from the past Just like a dream Well maybe it was just a dream A voice echoes The perfect song I never heard It whispers Its mesmerizing chant I just forgot the way you shone I tried to read my palm lines Crossing unpredictably As I'm fading I only saw a strange design A senseless path in filigree There's no meaning Faces come back from the dead Just like a dream But I know it was not a dream A voice echoes The perfect song I never heard It whispers Its mesmerizing chant I just forgot the way you shone Just when I reached the colony At last relieved to settle down I found with bitter irony That we've all grown cold We've all grown cold All the sweet talks I remember don't reassure We've all grown cold La bella ragazza, the chinese doll once held so close We've all grown cold The girl at San Marco feeding the birds has turned to dust We've all grown cold

Shamisen 05:08
Eastern nights are full of secrets She coloured the room in red, there's just no way out She plays her song on the shamisen She readies herself for love, now there's no way out Now you can drag me downer Another night, another secret She fingers her satin ribbon, there's no way out She tightens up until we climax She's pulling the strings of love, so there's no way out Now you can drag me downer A shroud has covered reason, the frenzy has begun A black empire is rising, the moon attracts the sun 狂おしいほど愛しいあなた もう戻れないわね 無我夢中に、足元も見ずに こんなところまで来てしまった 初めからわかってたでしょう 肌を重ねるごとに毒が回る もう時間を止めてしまいましょう 私の苦しいほどの愛を 命をかけて受け止めてちょうだい Eastern nights are full of secrets I'm lying down lifeless, there was no way out No more song on the shamisen A radiant widow came, there was no way out Now you can drag me downer A shroud has covered reason, the frenzy has begun A black empire is rising, the moon attracts the sun

Bloody Mary 04:11
Tonight I walk down in Saigon Distant scents and asian girls I'm so far from The World now Anyway you don't hear me All the same you could answer All those letters I sent you All the same you could answer I may never touch you again Yesterday we went Nowhere My best friend he was killed there There's his name on The Wall now Is there a place for mine ? All the same you could answer Not that I wanna bore you Not that I wanna bore you Just help me forget the silence I try to cure this illness Wandering in the streets but all things are lost I wanna feel Bloody M Purple Haze try to rearrange The lack of love I should expect from Bloody M Things I once knew with Bloody M Things I remember, Bloody M I'm just Wasted in silence I keep on Shotgunning It's time to colour the sky now Every night I have this dream And everyday I'm so frightened Anyway you just fight me Though I go down to Hell When you rise up to heaven With all your 4F Peacenicks For all I know you just fight me Now you're dancing barefoot Now you raise in the silence We're the same kind of dreamers Though I stand in the Kill Zone There's a tear in my brain now Still a gun in my hand There's a hole in my head now My only friend, The End I try to cure this illness Wandering in the streets but all things are lost I wanna feel Bloody M Purple Haze try to rearrange The lack of love I should expect from Bloody M Things I once knew with Bloody M Things I remember, Bloody M I'm just Wasted in silence I keep on Shotgunning

Dystopia 04:53
I'm aware there's nowhere left for us to run We're trapped like mice Brave new world The made-up kind with washed-up brain Never thinks twice Down the chemical plant They're creating a new man The political plans at the best of their scam Down the chemical plant They're creating a new man We're all fucked up No more words, no more beings Only units Souls are destroyed So to speak The sheep are walking straight in line Thinking is void Down the chemical plant They're creating a new man The political plans at the best of their scam Down the chemical plant They're creating a new man We're all fucked up I'm awake, I'd rather sleep one hundred years Just let me out We are wired Supervised by the control room There's no breakout Down the chemical plant they're creating a new man The political plans at the best of their scam Down the chemical plant they're creating a new man We're all fucked up

For all the wrong I'm doing For all the lies I've told For all those masks I'm wearing I won't make amends You know I won't make amends I won't make amends For I'm just trapped in my own cell From the first day I was expelled I do pretend but I'm compelled Curled in a shell and lonely For all the smiles I'm faking I won't make amends Since I once did and then what for ? Nevermind if what you see is an eyesore If it harms you, please walk away and just ignore Don't you wait for me to kneel and to implore If what you see is an eyesore I won't make amends

Sentence 05:31
One try or another The more I fail the more I'm left in a daze One try or another One place or another The maps are drawn and yet I'm lost in a maze One place or another, I can't find it out One truth or another I step, I fall, I only hypothesize One truth or another, I can't find out One fear or another A corridor extending before my eyes One fear or another It all drags me further down I just live in a lie With the sentence I will bear the pain One face or another Somebody smiled, a sign of hope or a plot ? One face or another I can't find out One way or another Another drink and I will kill in cold blood One way or another It all drags me further down I just live in a lie With the sentence I will bear the pain And I'll make it a lie

The city night breaks with a rumour Smoky eyes pierce through the dark (Just a reflection) A travesty of love at my leisure The promises of a pornographic hour Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence Back light, a matter of convenience Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence Right when I cast a glance No conversation is required Tensions are appeased, remains a tumor The city lights melt in the sound (Just a perception) Feelings drift unpaid in the sewer The bitterness of a pornographic hour Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence Back light, the suffering becomes a transe Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence Just when I cast a glance

No Play Boy 04:42
There's no more fun It kills me so It feels like the end of the world A harmless day ? Oh well, we’ll never know In the room of the second floor We'll go high and sick Come on now I promise you A hell of a time All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy A harmless day we'll never know

Synchronize 04:47
We are here, in the red room Sensitive, all aware We are here So let's consume the inner fire that we never called up Is it real or just a play When you tantalize ? Is there more than just one way For us to synchronize ? We are locked in the dark room Negative, shades of grey Give me focus As we feed this inner fire that we never called up We are here, in the back room Primitive, intertwined Animals We magnify the inner fire that we never called up Is it real or just a play When you tantalize ? Is there more than just one way For us to synchronize ?

This Sorrow 05:33
It had to be, the days got darker The sun it shines no more In the sand, we have to write the story shorter Before we all atone This sorrow We've been infected It had to be, there's no passover No one left to implore Though the sun gets closer What we feel is cold and colder still This sorrow We've been infected It had to be, our days are over We crushed what we adored « Innocent » ! Why even carve the word in boulder ? We'd rather all atone This sorrow We've been infected This sorrow We're all infected We're all infected We're all infected
