Hazy Skyscraper

(álbum: Kakigori Galaxy Astronaut - 2019)

Traveling light's how it usually goes
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
A promising refrain
But the meaning tends to vanish when it's Me, Myself and I again
I don't complain about it. I just don't have the time
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won't find, in this lifetime
Descend into dystopia created in my mind
Cause it's not fine, and it hasn't been for a while now
It feels like a struggle to smile now
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead
Leaving me high and dry
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle's in who I can frown beside
My chaotic good alliance, a "forget about it" revelation
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Maybe something's missing in this
Overcast heart, I'm always...

Reaching out, shying away
Don't feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it "just me"
It's better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure...
Let's be (let's be)
Lonely (lonely)
Together, till the weather clears up, that's enough, like
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
空に消えたい, side by side [Sora ni kietai, side by side]
Gotta leave it all behind

A broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
And even IF I could rewind I think I'll likely wind up lying in a desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole, we're told to
Smile for those you feel like you owe it
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Get into character, everyone's watching
Staring, comparing there's no sign of stopping
I'm dead on my feet but I'm also dead set on not dropping
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
Better start walking
If today is a day you don't wanna pretend
I accept that
We forget being human is never a set back
Staying true to yourself? Don't regret that
A weakness is strength, I respect that
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It'll turn into something
Burning inside as I'm learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Can say that they've "felt that."
My sense of my self has me held back
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same

Reaching out, shying away
Don't feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it "just me"
It's better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart? I figure...
Let's be (let's be)
Lonely (lonely)
Together, till the weather clears up, that's enough, like
Hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
空に消えたい, side by side [Sora ni kietai, side by side]
Gotta leave it all behind

Reaching out, shying away
Don't feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it "just me"
It's better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Really you and I are not alike, so let's keep apart. I'll kick it
Just me (just me)
Lonely (lonely)
Forever, cause whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
I realize "that you" just exists within my mind

I'm just a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Be like a hazy skyscraper fading to the sky
Forever hazy skyscrapers fading to the sky
Hazy skyscraper... really, there's no place I belong
