Shijima

Welcome to this world
The lights are not as bright as they seem
Jealousy overwhelms my daily routine
I see the joy and sparks in their eyes
Realisation would paralyze
Evil spirits rule heavenly places
As I drown in adult life

This forgotten memory
Years of innocence will be lost in time
The ability to stay in the here and now
Unaware of the sorrow
Not worrying about tomorrow

This pattern, self-consuming
Constant puzzling
The gloom keeps clawing

This forgotten memory
Far away from where we used to be
Does it snow above the sea or is it just stuck in my head
This forgotten memory
Far away from where we used to be
I never felt so far away from myself

Breath out, there’s an escape in significance
Reach for the horizon
Break free from the illusion
Colour the lifeline
Create infinite bliss
This forgotten memory
Far away from where we used to be
Does it snow above the sea or is it just stuck in my head
This forgotten memory
Far away from where we used to be
I never felt so far away from myself

A hymn for the broken
Create the road, take everything

Let the joy burn out the pain
A little spark is all we need
Pull me away
