Still Snowing In Sapporo

(album: The Ultra Vivid Lament - 2021)

I'm walking on my own it's 1993
The heavy snow is falling like an angel over me
I see it all through a video camera filter
It feels so real like cheap golden glitter

There are no holes in my recollections
Time has stopped and is perfectly frozen
Those days may never come again
My optimism resembles a dying flame

It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
Still breaking in my heart
It couldn't last without the hurt without the hurt

We flew into the darkness and landed in the night
Through clouds and fog we glimpsed the neon lights
With make-up running eyes turned towards the sky
Our hands all gripped together holding on so tight

We put our bodies on the line
Built a mountain we could never climb
How could four become so strong
Yet break and leave too soon

It's still snowing, snowing in Sapporo
Still breaking in my heart
The four of us against the world, against the world
