To Asuka 02:46
What am I? Am I a pale reflection of my heart? No one knows who you really are. Deep inside, invisible to my eyes there it lies your true self, it's scared and sad and angry just like mine What am I? Am I a promise I will never keep? A blank page that I will never fill? The ink is dry, the light is out, there’s nothing left to write, and every day I play the same old script that no one likes I need appreciation, I need the whole world to know that I exist. I want to shout out loud, please look at me! Don’t tell me it’s pathetic, don’t ever tell I shouldn’t feel like this. This is what I am, this is how I feel Asuka won’t you snap out of it? Please I know what you’ve been through. There is so much you have to say, there’s so much I’d like to tell you. Asuka don’t you think that sometimes misery is nothing but the chance to understand each other’s sorrow and open us to other selves And don’t you think tonight could be the greatest time to change our lives? To make the world aware, together we can tear down the walls enclosing our hearts. And don’t you think tonight could be the greatest time to change our lives? We’ll make the world aware, together we can tear down the walls enclosing our hearts. This song goes out to you

It’s not my body begging me to slow down, it’s not the dreams I buried underground, and it’s not that everyone seem to settle down and find their own ikigai while I’m still here in constant motion, yet frozen in time It’s not my memories fading away, it’s not life getting harder every day. I guess I am aware this is all part of the game. No, the reason why sometimes I feel so old is how I miss Our conversations, our endless dialogues at night. We used to share our hearts and countless bottles of cheap wine and we were young and frail but not alone. We used to feel so beautiful when we shared all our flaws But then years go by, we all take our separate ways. And then we drift apart in time. Today our scripts read reassuring lines. Can we really say we’re doing just fine? Did we grow scared to reveal ourselves? Is it a consequence of life? Sometimes I wish we could go back in time and remember what it felt like when we met at the gardens at night

She said: Tell me, how did you end locked up in here trapped inside your darkest nightmares and fears? Did you give up? Have you abandoned all your hopes? Have you surrendered to the world? She said: I can see it your eyes their deep and sad, they’re trying to hide just like you do but things will never change, if you give up this is not right, not after all that we’ve been through I just want you to know I will always be with you no matter what Silence. Her words reverberating louder in his mind. Then all the way down to the heart beating, faster, signal of an imminent reaction. And all it took was someone proving he was not alone Then the silence was broken. In the end, the silence was gone I’d run away from here with you, I was just scared that you’d be nowhere to be found, that I could never make it out alive. But now I feel your hands in mine, and now you’re here, your hands in mine You’re right, no matter what, we’ll stand together, we won’t give in to the world. You’ll be my shelter I’ll be yours. We’ll stand our ground against the silence and the horde of our demons, believing, believing that someday we’ll find a place where we belong

I hear you laughing in the dark behind my back, I sense you wandering inside my head and I feel you feasting on emotions I once had injecting my veins with indifference and now my body is flooded with colorless blood as grey as the smoke filling my lungs from countless cigarettes you lit for me, it’s time to retaliate I’m singing my way out of nowhere trying to find colors in sounds. Shouting louder than your laughs to turn you silent in the dark. I know you’ll be starving in fear but do not worry I’ll come me back. As soon as the refrain comes to its bitter end the magic fades I’m yours again You were a part of me before I even knew, you waited patient for the moment to break loose, and you’ve been growing stronger all this time I am the host and you’re the parasites of mine, and with the walls, the walls I’ve built around in self defense I shut out all your enemies instead. Will this ongoing spiral ever see an end? Can you see it coming? I’m Screaming my way out of nowhere shouting out I’m still alive. I can be louder than your laughs and make you withdraw in the dark. I know you’ll be starving in fear, I wish I could scare you to death but I’m aware that you’re a part of me, so in the end you’re meant to be

Believe me Claire I love you, I am telling you the truth. How could I lie to you after all that we’ve been through? We took care of all that dead meat, we had a lot of fun. But good things end, it’s time for us to part Believe me Lara I love you, you hot and fearless girl. You bet you made me sweat to retrieve those artifacts. We escaped from traps and dungeons and we raided all those tombs. It’s been so cool but now I have to go Believe me Blaze I love you, avenger dressed in red. We wandered through your town and cleaned it up from all that scum. And every fucking single time we came out on top. Will I come back? I swear I just don’t know Believe me Ashe I love you, you fair and sexy queen. We vanquished all your foes so you could reclaim the throne. The beauty of this wonderland will always be with me. But now that all is well I think I’ll leave. Yeah, now that all is well I think I’ll leave Maria believe me I love you, you ghost born from a death. Longing for a real life we both know you’ll never have. You said you could be everything I wanted you to be. But it’s way better if I set you free And even if I’m singing of girls that do not even exist, I am thankful for the time they spent with me. ‘Cause there are times when you just need to escape from reality. It’s all about surviving and not giving in. Back then this is where I took shelter from everyday tragedies. You got me by and somehow helped me to resist You were the only ones I could help not to give in
