Count the tears that have echoed out these fears
No more thinking of the years
That we would have as we watch the moon set
How many stories will you weave today
Lies that I'll no longer take
What you're doing to me anymore
Once a heart has been broken it can't heal
No matter what you feel
I won't come back to get hurt once again
Heartfelt words in beat with this song
Did you love me all along
But regret for our future has come to pass
Don't say you love me just to take it all back
Someday the light inside of us has to die to be born again someday
The words that we passed between the lips of our memories
Can only set us free as long as we mean each one we say
Look up at the sky and see, everything is meant to be
Tomorrow will always be better than the promise of spring
Every time I close my eyes
I just feel like I should cry
You didn't even say bye
You just ran away
I see your face as I try to erase
These fleeting thoughts I shall chase
Until you have left my mind without a trace
All those born into this world must have a purpose
Why don't I feel that I can stay when you have taken my very reason to live?
The way that you made me feel, has it ever been this real?
It only broken the seal on my heart and refused to heal
Even though you hurt me so, I will never let you go
My feelings will always grow, give me the strength to forgive your soul
The words that we passed between the lips of our memories
Can only set us free as long as we mean each one we say
Look up at the sky and see, everything is meant to be
Tomorrow will always be better than the promise of spring

If I could not find myself or confirm the person that I am
Would you believe that you are you through this circumstance?
If you broke the glass that contained all of your broken emotions
Would you bear my burdens and pick them all up once again?
Someone's voice is calling out to me
Why won't they just let me be?
Time has stopped for us and now we sing
Open up your eyes for me
We ignite the fire that is burning throughout our veins
We stand up for what we believe even if we're slain
We fight with fear in our hearts as if we aren't sane
Outside these walls, we hope to find our way
If there were no light capable of brightening this frightening world
Would you shrink into the darkness or emit a glow yourself?
If there's no way to fight against an enemy twice your size
Would you give up and flee, or start a revolution today?
Someone's voice is calling out to me
Though it's not a friend or enemy
Countdown til we all meet our end
What is left that we can defend?
We broke out our childish dreams when disaster struck us down
We shed tears as their bodies laid throughout our town
Farewell days of youth and peaceful nights of memories
We stride through life like beasts
Covered in our enemy's blood
Whatever will I do with my love?
All of my strength has left me suddenly
I raise this rusted blade and scream
"We are one until the end."
We ignite the fire that is burning throughout our veins
We stand up for what we believe even if we are slain
We fight with fear in our hearts as if we aren't sane
Outside these walls, we hope to find our way
Let's meet again someday
Under the skies of grey

When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride
Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again
In the back of my mind
My memories still resides
In those fun summer days
(It was warm)
Holding hands with you down
That path by my house
As we picked colorful flowers
(And we sang)
The clouds always swayed
On nights when you were away
I always wanted to show it to you
But I awaken to the fact
That you're never coming back
So my search for you begins
My feet move on their own, moving towards your presence
How could you desert me, I can't live without my friend
When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride
Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again
Middle of the night - maybe 7
Picking flowers that we loved in the summer
Do you even want to see me?
Do you want to come back to me?
Are my feelings not reaching thee?
Are you ignoring these
Tears that I have shed for you?
In a second, a flash
Something blinded my sight
Like a sign from above
Pushing me back
It told me to move on
You'll come back in time
The tears that I had shed
Would be rewarded in the end
In a flash, a blast
Filling the cracks
Like a sign from above
Pushing me back
It told me to move on
You'll come back in time
The tears that I had shed
Would be rewarded in the end
Dancing barefoot, taking in the sunshine
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again
Dancing barefoot, doing a perfect Samba
The summer in Uji, that happened to change our lives
In the moonlight, singing our favorite lullabies
Going home in spring, counting down til I see you again
When the sun begins rising in the west
We'll continue this somber song of mine
And saying our goodbyes
Our dreams turned out to be nothing in the end
Chasing after the light within in our eyes
On the warm winds we would ride

Let your thoughts flow free or are you scared of your own opinions
Bloom colorful flowers; a community of creativity, hey
You scrunched your face up at me
You wondered, 'What's in it for me?'
I wanted to see you smiling
What thoughts have you inside of you stiring
Falling, into your secret trap
What would you really ask of
A humble fellow such as me?

All I felt was hate for you, I could never forget your face
I repeated your name every day
With the pull of this gun, I would have saved everyone
My sins will be cleansed by your blood
Every time I close my eyes, I see my family die
Is there a way for this to end?
The only way for me to right this wrong
Enacting my own true revenge
Blood runs on my hands, sins from the past trickle down
The human in me has died
Carve it with my knife, an etching of my signal
Muddling with my memories
Drowning in sadness, losing myself in the pain
Just an endless spiral
Regret what you’ve done, cower in fear like a child
Repeat this living nightmare now
Somehow I can’t erase, the look on your face
The night you took it all away
Though I made you cry in pain, it’s in vain
My misery, it hasn’t changed; it stays the same
But still my knife aches for your flesh
Enacting my own true revenge
Blood runs on my hands, sins from the past trickle down
The human in me has died
Carve it with my knife, an etching of my signal
Muddling with my memories
Drowning in sadness, losing myself in the pain
Just an endless spiral
Regret what you’ve done, cower in fear like a child
Repeat this living nightmare now
Zero fault, zero blame, zero hurt, zero pain

I rely on war
I rely on war
I rely on war
I rely on war
Don’t go away
Cowards can only run
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)
Oh why, you’re crying
Kill all of them for fun
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)
Coming up, coming up
The bloodlust fills my veins
The sounds of their cries
Turn me on, turn me on
Not enough, not enough
The bodies fill the scene
We will dance as their blood rains down
We all are the jingoes oh oh oh
Curse God and his name
We don’t need a coward like him
We are in the jungle, oh oh oh
With our magic and our might
We will see who will survive this fight
Ah
I rely on war
I rely on war
I rely on war
I rely on war
Go on your way
Become a worthless pawn
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)
No one is left
Time to ravage all
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)
Showing up, showing up
Justice is a fool’s motive
Control and enjoy
Their torment, their torment
You’re the same, you’re the same
Hiding the animal inside
Release it and show me your pride
We all are the jingoes oh oh oh
Kill the weak and the poor
We need not for them any more
We are in the jungle oh oh oh
Crunch and chomp their bones to bits
We will devour everyone in our midst
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
O-o-o-o-o-o-o
Hurry up i ya ya
Hurry up i ya ya
Hurry up i ya ya
O-a-o-a-o-a-o
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
Dance it up, u-ra-ra
O-o-o-o-o-o-o
Hurry up i ya ya
Hurry up i ya ya
Hurry up i ya ya
O-a-o-a-o-a-o
The world will be colorful, painful, beautiful
When your life is lost
We all are the jingoes oh oh oh
Feed the beast we unleash
There’s no time for human pride
We are in the jungle oh oh oh
Pick their meat between our teeth
We salute the right to being
The jingoes oh oh oh
Beat them down, tear them up
Drink their blood from a cup
We are in the jungle oh oh oh
Through the haze of all the craze
Show God what the maddened ones really crave
We all are the jingoes oh oh oh
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)
We are in the jungle oh oh oh
(I know it’s a war we want)
(I know it’s a war we want)

Poetry Within Myself
For someone with as many issues as me
The only way to escape is poetry
For a person who doesn’t shine bright like a celebrity
My own light was the gift of poetry
Self-esteem is a scarcity
For someone as low as me
My soul sunk lower than the sea
Insults toward myself is quite easy
Poetry helped me gain my strength
My heart found its own wavelength
I could finally accept my faults
Not conform to everyone’s default
Without this skill I found of mine
I would have been empty inside
Broke down within myself and cried
Believing in the negativity and lies
This poem is dedicated to the younger me
The one who wouldn’t find her glee
The rhythm that was begging to come out
In order to shine from this day on and without doubt
If I didn’t discover it
If I just let the depression sit
If I denied myself from the grit
I wouldn’t have heard the inner wit
So thank you poetry for your light
Thanks for opening up my sight
Giving me the will to fight
Because of you, I will finally be alright
