Deep Inside 04:08
Lost in the chaos, When you don't know where to start Memories like thorns, pricking every thought Every emotion once felt, now feels like it’s bought Every moment is like a rollercoaster we ride. It always has its highs and lows.. Every decision, every choice, every moment, is muted by the mind's endless noise from which I can't break free This is why I'm deep inside you might say it's my guiding light a spark glows deep inside the heart But at a loss, don’t know the way to go I’m an Overthinker, trapped in my head, like this… Every glance, Memories play, like a movie gone wrong Lost in a maze, gasping for air Can't find a way out, trapped in my doubt Emotions resonate deep inside Inner feels I always tried to hide. This is only the start of the ride. But at a loss, where did the moment go? For now, I'm lost in doubt Every turn I take, shows another route about. But I'll find the” light”, to guide me on my way. Sometimes, you have to let it go This is why I'm deep inside you might say it's my guiding light a spark glows deep inside the heart But at a loss, don’t know the way to go

変人のスレッドマスター 真下絡まって 始まってまた明日股の下 明日待ってました またいいね消してました 誰かの幸せ願った身勝手な誰かの祈り 心揺さぶったワンシーン止めて全身真っ白け 繰り返すBPMクリック消しても振りかざす目指す 止まらない止められない 落ちていく神が作ったこのシステム  一度目で見て陽の光を感じて あいまいな境界線超えて 煙に巻いた逃げる決心 綿みたいな頭の裏 繰り返すBlah 無意識のまま 消えない炎 消してもまた温まって 降り積もるスノウ  嘘みたいに固まったまま This is a strategic mind play game 忘れかけた境界線 This is a strategic mind play game 揺さぶって引き裂いたスレッドマスター     繰り返すBlah     無意識のまま  綿みたいな頭の裏 繰り返すBlah 無意識のまま  煙に巻いて あらがって ばらまいて 捨てるまで

Dark Ballet 03:48
Dancing with spirits in the moonlight, With joy and peace in our hearts. The stars above shine like diamonds bright And the moon casts a silver gleam The beat of the drum echoes in the night, As we twirl and sway to its rhythm. With the stars above and the earth below, Under the light of the moon so bright We dance with the ghosts in the night And leave behind all our fears and fright For in their embrace, we feel so light We shake off all our envy and pain And leave behind all our longing so vain The music and dance, they guide us to soar To the moon, where our spirits can pour The moon is a symbol of what's so rare A representation of all that's untold But in this dance, we don't seem to care For in the moment, we have what we hold let us dance with the ghosts in the night The moon shines bright in the midnight sky A symbol of all that's out of reach It makes us so long, it makes us sigh For things we cannot quite beseech The music and dance, they take us to the moon A place of wonder, where our spirits commune With the universe, with the rhythm and tune We find ourselves, in this magical boon

Endless Blue 04:12
The horizon stretches out before me A line that never ends It calls to me with open arms Inviting me to journey far Believe in the great power that a small feather can create Leave the past behind, soaring like a bird I gaze into the endless blue Hoping for a sign from you But all I see is emptiness A reminder of my loneliness For it reminds me that I am small Yet a part of something infinitely tall

Left Unsaid 04:31
The words I was about to say were fading into air, because you seemed lost in thoughts in a world elsewhere. A silent understanding quietly hung around us, for even the silence, like frost on a window pane If back then, my words had somehow found a way, a parallel world might have stayed, Perhaps you might have heard, what I tried to say. I endlessly replay the unsaid words within me over and over feeling slight ache in my heart. Your smiles, every word, every thought bestowed on. someone I don’t know, may have once been for me. Now, I quietly watch the path of your life. The moment was now or never. I wish I could journey back to that moment in time I find my being in a parallel world I wish I could go back to that crossroads I wonder which was truly the world where I was meant to be
