Clarity

    High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life Fight fear for the selfish pain And it's worth it every time Hold still right before we crash Cause we both know how this ends our clock ticks till it breaks your glass And I drown in you again   Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly Still fight and I don't know why   If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy If our love's insanity why are you my clarity   Walk on through a red parade And refuse to make amends It cuts deep through our ground And makes us forget all common sense Don't speak as I try to leave Cause we both know what we'll choose If you pull, then I'll push too deep And I'll fall right back to you   Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly Still fight and I don't know why   If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy If our love's insanity why are you my clarity Why are you my remedy ...? Why are you my remedy ...? If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy If our love's insanity why are you my clarity

Spectrum

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama

Wearing your heart like a stolen dream
Opening skies with your broken keys
No one can blind us any longer

We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt

Lying inside our quiet drama

Siren# (サイレン#)

I love AKFG so much and all their lyrics in their song always strike a cord in me. This is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics have so much pain and yet, it's a beautiful song because many of us can relate to it.

The thick fingers on your hand
The white feather that floats through the night
One day you'll surely forget me
You don't need someone like me, I'm sure
The city lights reflected on the car windows
The tears blur into the shadows, frame by frame

I'll disappear without even understanding
The reason I was even born
The light that streams in and divides the darkness
The impatience for tomorrow that even now won't go away

The pain that persists without reason
How could anybody ever find me?
My white wings won't even open
One day I'll surely fall apart

Someone like me will just disappear, I'm sure
The city lights reflected on the car windows
The tears blur into the shadows, frame by frame
The world will end without me even understanding
The reason I ever even met you

Stand

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand

Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

Catch My Breath

I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith, karma comes around
I will spend the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now

You helped me see
The beauty in everything

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now
It's all so simple now

Catching my breath, letting it go,
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down,
It's all so simple now

Now or Never

Lost, I groped around, looking for it
But the answer to the future has been locked away
And I can’t find it anywhere
An urge to dash out, I can’t decipher it right now

Found, that fate should have been broken
Yet I heard it in my immature dream
“Until the last moment, I’ll be there for you”

I won’t stop here, this clock’s hand is the only thing
That cuts through the sounds carving out my tomorrow
If I run away from the truth now
If I lose to reality now
What will be left?

My countless wounds are the only things
That can tell the story of my yesterday as afterimages
Even if the knots of fate are loosened now
Even if my existence is destroyed now
I will keep walking on my own way
It’s now or never

Breathe, I reached a dead end and lost it
Days when I struggled alone, wishing someone would save me
Holding on to such sentiments, I’m in a desperate situation now

Cry, my uncontrollably flowing tears
Are moistening my dried-up heart
As I throw away my faded past

All the words go around in my head
searching for the signs I misread
black or white, wrong or right
it’s an inner war we all fight

Somewhere, buried under these lies
I can see a truth that hides beyond your eyes
in the tears you cry

This is my life
I don’t know where to begin
I’ve been wandering
looking for the voices within
This is my life
Think I’ve found a place to begin
This is my life
This is my life

Only the heart that you reached out to
Lights up the present moment, leading us on our way
Without turning back, I can start now
Without being afraid, I can step out
I’ll pave my own way and go ahead

I won’t stop here, this clock’s hand is the only thing
That cuts through the sounds carving out my tomorrow
If I run away from the truth now
If I lose to reality now
What will be left?

My countless wounds are the only things
That can tell the story of my yesterday as afterimages
Even if the knots of fate are loosened now
Even if my existence is destroyed now
I will keep walking on my own way
It’s now or never

This is what they say
“Live your life today.
There will always be,
there will always be a way.”

Solace

 

I just stood and looked at her. I guess it’s getting to be too much for her, at times – even for her. I do not think she allows herself to know how tired she is. She was asleep on the sofa. She had been there all night. She looked like a young girl. She looked as if she felt certain that she would awaken in a world where no one would harm her, as if she had nothing to hide or to fear. But what I saw after that was terrible: that guiltless purity of her face, with her body twisted by exhaustion, still lying there as she had collapsed…
