I’m bound by a promise I’m sure I never made
So why do I feel so guilty
When I try to break free from it?
Eternity can’t be measured
With a wind-up wristwatch
But even feeling such futility
In my heart, there’s a reason I can’t let go
Even if depression were to wake in the night
Attacking me like a wild beast
Even if crows were to shred my prayers to pieces
With the rain shooting down like stray bullets
As long as you are here, beneath the skies of this city
I’ll never run away
Humans can’t live inside a dollhouse
In a city of drifting ice
I’ve been chasing mirages in the runoff
There are many people
They say many things
Like, “Money is everything”
Anyone who believes that has no room for doubt
Everyone’s being pushed along by love
Taking much more than they give
So when a parched wind blows through violently
Turning the countryside into a desert…
When the sun beats down from the sky above
Will you still
Be by my side?
Even if depression were to wake in the night
Attacking me like a wild beast
Even if crows were to shred my prayers to pieces
With the rain shooting down like stray bullets
As long as you are here
Beneath the skies of this city
I’m sure that I…
I want to stay sober
On nights the crying voices of children echo through the stairwells
Opening up the door to my fridge
I’ll drink a bottle of water and take an oath
This ocean is filled with whirlpools of desire
But my steps will glide
As if crossing the Moon River
I’ll walk across, with you
You’ll be by my side, won’t you?
