In A New Light

I am the rust after the rain
I am the rot and the decay
I am a weed in a bouquet
I am the darkness at the ending of the day
I am the pain
I am a stain
I am the aching in her chest
I am the wind against the nest
I am a pest
I am the famine in the fields
I am the sword against their shields
I am the moon eclipsing light
I am the sickness
I’m the blight
I am the night
I am the tide eroding shores
I’m an infection
I’m a sore
I am the rope against the skin
I am the lust
I am the sin that must be cleansed
But I gave up, I let it in
I let it stay
I let fate drive the hope away
I let it stay
But maybe I could be the glow
The light reflected in the snow
It’s not the source, it’s just for show
But just a spark helps light the coals
I’m not what was, I am what’s left
From final breath to my my first steps
Maybe I need to see the end
Before I find where life begins
Then maybe I could be a rose
The wilted petals decompose
Enrich the soil and let love grow
Just help me find the seeds to sow
And I will nurture them this time
I want so bad to feel alive
To feel pride instead of spite
To see myself in a new light

I feel it tug at my leash
It’s getting harder to breathe
No longer able to sleep
The ritual’s incomplete
The ratio of relief
An exponential decrease
The heart and mind atrophy
The body stays, the soul leaves
I close my eyes and pretend I see a light up ahead
But nothing shines where I am
Unlit, the path vanishes
A serpent now in its stead
The tail devoured by the head
As soon as I reach the end
The cycle starts up again
I could have boarded my windows
And spent the summer inside
So when winter started looming
I wouldn’t miss the sunlight
Just cut it off at the source
Deprive myself of the warmth
See every rose as just thorns
Indulge the comfort of storms
But I parted ways with the pendulum
I refused the excuse
I chose to bask in the sun
Until the full moon
And now this metamorphosis
Is getting harder to hide
Sometimes the anger subsides
But it still gets lonely at night
It’s all just numbers and patterns and I can’t feel a thing
I know my mind shouldn’t wander but it’s not up to me
A different kind of addiction, a way to feel at peace
The outside world falls away, my mind’s abandoned me
For a brief moment I felt the sun’s warmth, and now the cold stings worse than it ever did before
Fuck
A different kind of addiction

今回さ…
死が見えるほどだった
I saw the end
I saw the end
I was waiting for a train to take me…
To take me home
When she died, there was no color left in her eyes
But it had been that way now for a long time
She saw only dark where the light had been
And she knew that light was never coming back again
And she was never coming back again
She thought she’d found the voice they taught her to hold back
Her last words spelled in blood on the train tracks
And I stood in the sea of gray
Just a small delay and we were on our way
A minor inconvenience is all
So if the nail sticks out then let the hammer fall
Another day, another train delay
They’re cleaning up her remains now off the railway
And I’m afraid I’m getting used to this
Just like I did back home
The same suffering in a different form
If this is our whole lives, then we’ve already died
How many lives will they drive to suicide?
ブラック企業
All aboard the service overtime to suicide pipeline
改革が大切
誰の為に生きてる？
今回も
この光も
いくら頑張っても
この光結局消えるよ
僕の
愛する花も
頑張って育っても
この可愛い花も枯れるだろう
釘か？
金槌のか？
どちらもダメだ
君もこの世界飽きたかな？
(打たれたくない、打ちたくない)
でもね
急がないで
現在しか見えんくて
冬が来ないと春来れないもんね
実は死にたくない
でもこの黒から逃げたい
助けてくれ
実は死にたくない
でもこの黒から逃げたい
助けてくれ
They just needed to to be shown some light
So they could grow up like towers
Don’t let more wither away
Learn how to care for flowers
