Can you hear the night descending?
Light is all yours
The meadow’s still in silence
and I will love you till the dawn shines in a darkness
I am fine living life
as a beholder of you
and there will be light in our time
Be my everlasting delighter
then I’ll anchor into a shimmering sky
We’ll make ourselves come through distance
You’re my everlasting delighter
and we’re never going home
Through the endless and still,
we’ll make ourselves come through distance
I’m no lionhearted
But we’ll complete each other’s endeavors
We ain’t over, we’ll see the sun goes down in the end
So, bear my glance
There shows the light of dawn
and you’re fading into the shade of another day’s bloom,
into horizon that glows
So, bear my glance
Leave me awake, I’m lost in this glorious morn
You’ll always be in my heart,
that I’m entirely sure
So, bear my glance
Let’s take a walk in the sky
into horizon that glows
You are my one and only sorrow
Bear my glance
Take a walk in the sky
into horizon that glows
You are my one and only sorrow
Bear my glance
Take a walk in the sky
into horizon that glows
You are my one and only sorrow
Bear my glance
Take a walk in the sky
into horizon that glows
You are my one and only sorrow

Travel well, my dear

From the forlorn world your visage hides in front of brighter beacon
and I felt like snowy season wouldn't end in our lives
We are standing still on the other side of universe
waiting to see the shadow finally expel the gilded stream
You're defeated by daylight every morning
and leave me be free
You've been carrying my heart in your soul in the distance
with a handful of doubt that I loathed myself for
Can you confess all your secrets to me?
And then I wouldn't fear the chance of you not coming back home
I understand how foolish is my fear, you haven't moved a single mile
I know you're getting late for reasons I couldn’t guess
You're defeated by daylight every morning
and leave me be free
You've been carrying my heart in your soul in the distance
with a handful of doubt that I loathed myself for
Can you confess all your secrets to me?
You, my love, are gone
Can you concede how you feel when you're gone?
Travel well, my dear, until we be together once more
You're defeated by daylight every morning
and leave me be free with the tyrant misled
You've been carrying my heart in your soul in the distance
with a handful of doubt that I loathed myself for
Can you confess all your secrets to me?
You, my love, are gone
Can you concede how you feel when you're gone?
You, my love, are gone

In this life, we were meant to be apart in other space where you can
hide yourself from my affection
I'm in the lowest chasm whereas the sun is getting higher
Yeah, you're fucking liar
Show me the mere excuses
You granted me the pure delight of seeing you
You'd been my everlasting shine on the mire
What I desire is my colorless extension of world back
You were picking the right time of departing me
while I was in delusion of unchanging bond
I'm the dumb, you're the liar. I must have known
Did you ever look into me when I was insanely missing you?
You're the liar, I must have known
All the silence you gave me in return for my craving
I'm the dumb
Tell me when this baffling travel ends. I'll be on the outside
Dazzling, but sightless, ambivalent. Yet I'm still on the outside
Tell me when this baffling travel ends. I'll be on the outside
I'll be on the outside
You're the liar, I must have known
Did you ever look into me when I was insanely missing you?
You're the liar, I must have known
All the silence you gave me in return for my craving, I'm the dumb
Tell me when this baffling travel ends. I'll be on the outside
Dazzling, but sightless, ambivalent. Yet I'm still on the outside
Tell me when this baffling travel ends. I'll be on the outside
I'll be on the outside
We were meant to be apart in other space where you can hide
But you can't hide yourself from my affection
I'm in the lowest chasm whereas the sun is getting high
It's getting higher

My affection
04:28

You’re carrying my heart in your soul
I dare you don’t know I recall you
Love is a stream I don’t swim in
Flowing like a wind, I’m inclined to
falling in unsavory ocean
Failing is what I do at best
All you gotta do is to light the outside
And you’d better run to set me aside
I was not allowed to have you inside
except that I allowed you on my own
I troubled you a lot to make you answer
Now I’m gonna loose your fetter instead
But it’s not enough to set me aside
Bury me alive to end my word
You’re carrying my heart in your soul
I dare you don’t know I recall you
Love is a stream I don’t swim in
Flowing like a wind, I’m inclined to
falling in unsavory ocean
Failing is what I do at best
You’ve been my everlasting delighter, yet I’ll never see you through
Fail my endeavor instead, lay me asleep until horizon glows
I am straying into a straight light of the sun. It’s giving births to endless days
I cannot recognize how much I loved you
You were my every single sorrow, but I have never meant to burden you
with my unsettledness or my unwanted attention
So I am setting you free, with all my love, we’ve never owned each other
We’ve never been another meanings, no more than ourselves
Together or nothing at all, how could I be expecting you
to be my hideaway unless you ask for my affection?

Sheltered sky
04:36
|

All constellations withered in daylight
Let’s draw the curtains and light up the candles
to build ourselves another darkness and desire
So we can be deluded with no one to hurt
Enclose the outside, it's bone-dry
We got the right to make shadow into
night sky, this time
we have the light to set fire in the
night sky. It's bone-dry (Embers in bonfire, shattering stars)
We got the right to make shadow into (Sheltered sky fighting the silent night)
night sky, this time
we have the light to set fire in the night sky
Sometimes I'm still falling in confusion
But our last night was no illusion
I was connecting the dots
Maybe I'm tired
with all the bitterness lying every hour
Let’s draw the curtains, ignite all the woes
We have the right to make shadow into
night sky like the embers in bonfire
shatter as stars
We have the right to make shadow into
night sky when the sheltered sky
expel the silent night
Sometimes I'm still falling in confusion
But our last night was no illusion
I was connecting the dots
Sometimes I'm still falling in confusion
But our last night was no illusion
I was connecting the dots

Yearning’s no yours, it will always be mine
And you know I’ve been stranded when you decided
to walk away from the things I’ve requested from you
Now you’re marching in secret instead
From the highest mountains to the edge of the coast
I feel you present in your absence
Only the silence can echo in the vacuum
You surround me like the air
(Like the air does seep into the darkness)
And my affection can’t seize you
like incessant wave cannot break the ocean
(The ocean will swallow up the silence)
‘Invisible’ differs from ‘non-existent’
And the haven’s no fantasy, just in the faraway land
From the highest mountains to the edge of the coast
I feel you present in your absence
Only the silence can echo in the vacuum
You surround me like the air
(Like the air does seep into the darkness)
And my affection can’t seize you
Like incessant wave cannot break the ocean
(The ocean will swallow up the silence)
From the highest mountains to the edge of the coast
I feel you present in your absence
From the highest mountains to the edge of the coast
I feel you present in your absence

Sink into my arms
Are you asleep now?
Somehow I always felt you wouldn’t get back
Can you imagine?
The sound of perfect silence we could build together
How quiet it would be
Follow the dots and make the knots untied
the way it should be
You are the stream that won’t evaporate
Oh, sleep tight, love
On the ground I lay myself down
and let my arms around your traces
Follow the dots and make the knots untied
the way it should be
You are the stream that won’t evaporate
Can you imagine?
The sound of perfect silence we could build together
How quiet it would be
Sink into my arms
Are you asleep now?
You are the stream that won’t evaporate
Sink into my arms
Are you asleep now?
You are the stream that won’t evaporate

I lived through hours of bitterness crawling inside
'Cause I couldn't bear the weight of my unsettled soul
You're infinite as the ocean
You flow into my heart, let it flood
Don’t you get cowered
The snowy season doesn't last forever
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were
Someday when the sun goes down
and all the light goes out, then we'll begin the new voyage
I'll be on the mountaintop
when your arrival finally awakes the wintry calm
Infinite as the ocean,
You flow into my heart, let it flood
Don't you get cowered
The snowy season doesn't last forever
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were
Someday when the sun goes down
and all the light goes out of this town
There will be an endless wave
embracing all the sorrow and pain
Someday when the sun goes down
and all the light goes out, then we'll begin the new voyage
I'll be on the mountaintop
when your arrival finally awakes the wintry calm
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were
Far up in the sky, my love, be freer than you ever were

You're the sunset
I'm horizon on a sea
You're on a way back to me now
You're the sunset
I'm horizon on a sea
It's getting darker, but you need no worries
Can you imagine?
The sound of perfect silence we could build together
How quiet it would be
Oh, sleep tight, love
When you’re awake, you'll see the darkness is gone
and you will find me whether you come back to me or not
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
You're my everlasting delighter and I see you come
Come, come, come, rise
You're my everlasting delighter and I hear you come
Come, come, come, rise
You're my everlasting delighter and I feel you come
Come, come, come through the shimmering sky
Come, come, come to my wavering soul
Can you imagine?
The sound of perfect silence we could build together
Oh, sleep tight, love
When you’re awake, you'll see the darkness is gone
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
Come, come, come, rise
