Jisei

Phantoms, whirling Beyond my grasp as I stroke the sky Of familiar faces Whom vanished from sight as our bonds died Day in, day out Waking up just to fall asleep again Where is there meaning When life exists just to end Bonds of iron Of friends who said we'd never forget what we had Lost to ages Lost beneath the waves in black cloth clad Now where do I stand? Alone with memories Of flames and peacefulness Of love and lust Can you hear me talking? Through time and space again This Jisei of mine Would be my only comfort in this world of solitude My red flame, so dear Dragged me down when I tried to keep us both alive Lays beside me Both beyond wasted and we both survived A streak of pink light Flashed before my eyes and was gone before I could blink Reached out to me But vanished before my eyes before I had a chance to think Koibito We traded scars together for an entire year Alluring senpai Her final mark on me left me stranded with my fears Westward ally Opened up my mind to how this world works Marching forward Swimming to tomorrow while blinding by the murk And what of tomorrow? My life predicted by The ways of the world Wake up just to fall asleep Can you hear me talking? Through life and death again This Jisei of mine Would be my only comfort in this game of mice and men
