Empire of sorrows, as if for everyone, I grew up in a storm Good fortune teller's spell, a stranger in a land, ripped from all its firstborn sons Turned shadows into dark, ghosts of hopeless morning screams The flows of underground, way too bright to be seen, in a darkness of my own In a darkness of my own In a darkness of my own, I can see a thousand cranes Like neon bridal sparks are feeding old whispers I'm covering love with shame, like a sun in smoking waves I dressed up faith with lies and confessed make-believes As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide… As the tide keeps blooming high Shining waters blaze like evil flowers grow The city is a mess, reflection of the sky We're glowing in the streets, like shamans' rituals All dressed up as widows, all dressed up as widows Looking for anywhere Looking for anywhere but here Looking for anywhere but here Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere Looking for anywhere but here, looking for anywhere If it's the end of time, if it's new morning shade The colors running dry, our senses losing frame As if love needed sight to promise company As long as there is light, I guess no more shall we part In a darkness of my own, in a darkness of my own Is there anything more Is there any safe home to lay down To lay down, anywhere To lay down Is there anything more Is there any place home to lay down To lay down, to lay down, to lay down anywhere Is there anything more Is there anything more, any place to lay down To lay down, to lay down, to lay down, to lay down, To lay down, to lay down, to lay down, Anywhere Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Looking for anywhere but here (looking for anywhere) Empire of sorrows, as if for everyone, I grew up in a storm Good fortune teller's spell, a stranger in a land, ripped from all its firstborn sons Turned shadows into dark, ghosts of hopeless morning screams The flows of underground, way too bright to be seen, In a darkness of my own, in a darkness of my own As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide, as the tide As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide, as the tide As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide As the tide keeps blooming high, as the tide Looking for anywhere but here

For many years I've been waiting Craving for you Your whispers, the way to the underworld I'm yearning, my muse Can you solace the shades feeding on my grief Would you spoil my blood for high tides Your breath over my wounds, ascension tonight Your kick stung right through my will Sucked my desires forevermore Your bites are no stranger to my skin As you left me on the floor Slow motion death as only view from within Should I confess the waves shining like gold As silver keeps blooming deep No contrition this time, already had my share No words for regrets Can you silence the voices inside my head Can you tame the shadows with lights There's a fire burning down my veins tonight Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes Can you make the lies become truths Is the master of the house coming tonight Please, tell me again how you want me Need your murmurs around my neck You're a wasting disease for my soul Go on, make me forget Can you silence the voices inside my head Can you tame the shadows with lights There's a fire burning down my veins tonight Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes Can you make the lies become truths Is the master of the house coming tonight Nozomi, sono aratana senpū no hikarino naka, hana hiraita toki Kage wa shin ni kūsō wo ikizukumono heno bōtoku to naru, tsumi bukai mononi Kataware sono koromo wo mini matoi yoakemae ni hizamazuita toki Donna sasayaki mo senbazuru no  inori ni ataisuru okurimono to naru Can you silence the voices inside my head Can you tame the shadows with lights There's a fire burning down my veins tonight Can you tear down the veil right in front of my eyes Can you make the lies become truths Is the master of the house coming tonight

It's been a while, hasn't it Where did we lose each other Is it somewhere between Your skin, my grief and weakness Where did we lose each other It's strange somehow There must be dreams I can breathe Love’s long way gone It's been a while, it's been too long I should have told you everything, Needed to keep it in, to keep the sorrows inside Your eyes, your eyes, looking at me Your blame, my shame, a thousand whispers I'm falling down, I’m on my knees I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away The cut is deep, but ain't too late Need salvation to light my way, away, away It’s been a while, hasn't it Glad to be back from despairs I never thought it could Be good to scream in laughter Where did we lose each other It’s strange somehow I’ve learned to lie in my grief Tears long way gone I'm falling down, I’m on my knees I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away The cut is deep, but ain't too late Need salvation to light my way, away, away I'm falling down, I’m on my knees I'm just a soul who lost his way, away, away The cut is deep, but ain't too late Need salvation to light my way, away, away And if I lay down, if I lay down again Be the water on my skin And if I lay down, if I lay down again And again

He called me late last night, Saying he found something or someone It wasn't clear, or maybe I wasn't totally awake I wish I've been The lights are flowing down The lights are flowing down Right down over the edge Right down over the edge Of another night Everything seems so blurry at times As if the world was falling on its knees As if the skyline was stretching somehow Are we all the same Underneath... The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground We’re standing over the edge All yearning over the edge Of another night Of another night Just another night Just another night He said thank you, or sorry, I don't know He sounded good… at peace... He didn't say much, I wish he had At least, for just another night The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts Our shadows are the ghosts I've seen every color Felt every shiver of the city As much as a son, I've never felt at home The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky, The sky is fading underneath, Like a soul kneeling for peace, A thousand cries without a tear We’re craving whispers, dressed with fears He wasn't just a "guy" He's always been someone to me Just glad I had him if not even till dawn And in the drift of days, the drift of lonely days Static is the essence of life, when dreams keep falling apart For another night Dreams become wishes that will vanish into prayers And prayers are turned into empty promises Aren't we all The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors His clothes never fit him quite right I wish I had understood a bit more Silence could be pretty loud you know The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Darkness is a leopard growling for shades My twilight’s getting brighter I'm too hopeless to care, oh brother Too hopeless to care, oh brother Too desperate to see no colors The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky, The sky is fading underneath, Like a soul kneeling for peace, A thousand cries without a tear We’re craving whispers, dressed with fears For faithless wonderland we’re mourning after la la la la la la la la la Underneath He left a few words of his own around Who knows, I might leave as well Maybe I just forgot what it was like to lose it all All over again I loved everything about this place, Like a stranger would fall in love Somehow innocence is a plague here, And I needed more to keep breathing... The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky, The sky is fading underneath, Like a soul kneeling for peace, A thousand cries without a tear We’re craving whispers, dressed with fears For faithless wonderland we’re mourning after la la la la la la la la la Underneath

From the city to the ocean Between the grief, and your sorrow From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Heard you calling, heard you calling From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Between the lands, my empire From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Dusty valley, silver plateau From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Between the tears and your halo From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean I heard you calling, heard you crying From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Between the waves, raging fire From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Shiny valley, golden plateau From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Your shadow's on the edge of water x8 From the city to the ocean Between the fear and its tantrum From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean I felt your whispers, you kept my secrets From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Between your words, my desires From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean Faded valley, long gone plateau From the city to the ocean From the city to the ocean You're calling me in, you're calling me out, calling me in From the city to the ocean, the ocean You're calling me in, you're calling me out, calling me in From the city to the ocean, the ocean Your shadow's on the edge of water x8 Between the lies and my hideouts Between the tides, mourning prayers Illusion's a ghost, floating over heads Shivering whispers and sacred make-believes Your wave is a smile flickering sorrows As we're turning fog into daydream For lack of better tomorrows Your shadow's on the edge of water x8 Between the lands, my empire Between the waves, raging fire And If I should be there tomorrow Whatever the words I can spit out I'll tear my curtain down For anyone to share As long as it looks real I will confess that it hurts As if I truly cared And If I should be there tomorrow And If I should be there tomorrow And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…

Don’t you wish for wings to fly To blow yourself away from the lies Tell me, don’t you dream for will to scream To keep your grief from mournful colors Your head out of the water I just want you to know We’re all feeding illusions, Aren’t we all the same Hopeless whispers sketching love From all the shame We’re so much more than noise We're so much more than noise Don’t you wish for sounds to last To raise your voice to reach the sky  Tell me, don’t you crave for strength to cry To get your light a drifting blast A drifting blast I know that you can’t stand those feelings anymore It’s killing you, killing you inside, killing you inside I know that you can’t stand those feelings anymore It’s killing you, killing you inside, killing you inside It's killing you inside, it's killing you I just want you to know We’re all feeding illusions, Aren’t we all the same Hopeless whispers sketching love From all the shame We’re so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise Noise Noise There's way more, can't you see I’m wondering if there’s a place to lay down To feel the ground within the wounds of desperation I’ve prayed once, got through the door, to touch His crown Faith is pretty much like pain, hard to let it go all at once I guess comfort remains somewhere, so much higher Until we get there, I guess we’re nothing We’re nothing but public show, waiting somewhere For someone else’s voice to call us home To call us home To call us home For someone For someone else's voice A voice I just want you to know We’re all feeding illusions, Aren’t we all the same Hopeless whispers sketching love From all the shame We’re so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise We're so much more than noise

Night colors fade again As I'm facing what is gone, what's missing I'm too tired to hide Though this time I won't fake through No, I've lost it all by myself… again I don't have anyone to blame, it's my story... At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go At 1,2,3, wish I could fall on my knees… Find some upper room At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go, I gotta let it go My frantic's drowned, I witness how my life is a mess right now It's not what I've always dreamed of Shadow is all I've got And I just can't take anymore of this grief, this shame, this guilt… There's so much I've kept inside, so deep inside But I don't have anyone to blame, it's my story At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go At 1,2,3, need to fall down on my knees… Find some upper room At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go I want to tear all the sorrows from my loss, I need peace now, so much peace now I've been waiting to fall I've been craving to wane I've been desperate for someone to hurt me I've been whispering for someone to make me crawl I've been feeding the lies I've been so hopeless, way too long But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive Might have become the lies I've told you Might have become the one you despise I've been feeding the lies I've been dying inside Tell me, I'll rise… there's hope At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go At 1,2,3, I need to rise up on my feet… Find some upper room At 1,2,3, I gotta let it go I want to step out, to step out on my feet… I'm so close now I'm so close now, I'm so close now I'm just one step away, one step away

Memories fading in vapor sparks Offset motion reel, turning slow but still Head's heavy on bad wine miseries Suspended time, off-balance scenes Gravity's too unreal, revolving flashes All needs foggy under so much light No will to breathe, no brightest crown Smoke's way too thick to call it dawn The little I can feel is dazzled by a voice Choked up by hopelessness and shining silver grief Mourning youth and lost innocence There's nothing I can scream to make it disappear Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets (Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru) Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets (Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru) Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets (Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru) Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours, nous sommes muets (Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru) The door's unlocked, one step away  A leap of faith defined in a concrete hazy dream The trigger is burning my finger's obsession To lay down sky, all over ground, all over ground Fashion's blooming in a fabric I conceived Pornographic old masquerade    Heartfelt promises I never, I never intended to keep Same bitter sweet type of souvenirs Same bitter sweet type of memories The little I can feel, the little I can feel is dazzled by a voice The little I can feel, the little I can feel is dazzled by a voice Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Obsession is a gun Fallen from words Fallen from words To worship make-believes If no life can equal this death, obsession is everything your flesh is ready to give your soul away for And we're giving and giving up for ever, forever more For ever, ever more My obsession is a gun My obsession is a gun My obsession is a gun My obsession is a gun Fallen from words Fallen from words To worship make-believes Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru… chinmoku Ai no toki, chinmoku suru… chinmoku suru… chinmoku Ai no toki

And if nothing should move us no more If everything should wither the colors that cover our most impervious dawns and gardens… What would be left of this fragile innocence that one day carried us beyond awakening, of those mornings fragranced with beauties to come, born from our dreaming nights without probity… And if by our doubts, ineffable sorrows, we would withdraw ourselves so as to never see but the shadows of days, would we not become someone else's miseries again? In the absence of beliefs or self-abandonment, we will consume the faith carried from childhood And will become bitter, choose to be old, just as a frigid weapon witnesses the death it sows Without any sadness or a word said, no regret, no remorse… As lost time is never to be found again We are silent in a time of love If love has vanished into poems, No one will ever read, ever read Between Illness and Migration My fear is a gun of some abstract memories And if hope's all gone, I'll be waiting here Under cherry trees, and I will blossom And I'll be home, whatever it means, whatever it means And the night of all bleakness will disappear Unfolding dawn in brightest of all sunrise shine And light will downpour on lost souls… Just like mine, just like mine As seasons keep turning Even in the faithless of all dusks My heart will bloom in pure joyful whispers And light will downpour on my soul Just like the very first time, the very first time I felt your breath running down Running down all over my spine All over again All over again All over again All over again And again All over again And again All over again And again All over again And again I will be home, I will be home Redeemed and free again Redeemed and free again Whatever it means Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours Nous sommes muets, muets Nous sommes muets aux temps des amours Nous sommes muets
