I picked the pencil up again To trace the contours of this place A promised kaleidoscope Of multicolored hues and shades And once again, I saw the flowers Ah, but even so They fade into a past that feels Like somewhere I don't know They wither right before my eyes A shattered glass, my own reflection A whisper in the silence cries "Remember life" and its direction They say they're doing it for real now But who's the audience for this? Ah, ah, aah... Look, I'm spiraling, self-destructive Comprehension out of reach I've even thrown away the concepts Of the lessons I should teach Ah, but even so, something lingers In the echo that remains The ghost of blossoms in the static Makes me think of life again In every flawed and future chapter I craved the ache, I'll confess But even so, I drew a breath up From the canyon in my chest And I scattered all my screams into the void Ah, ah, it's fine now, let it happen If this is the answer, then let's end it here Just stop and breathe for me Ah, ah, I see the finish line so clearly Who here even wants the proof? "How many times did I keep breathing?" How many times? Tell me the truth... Even so, I shove the memories down That are buried and concealed Right here, I sink my teeth into A future not yet healed Ah, ah, it's over, no more echo Ah, but even so, it's true That I livedβI stake my everything here On that, I scream for you Ah, ah, is that enough now, finally? No matter who or how it's spun... There was something I believed in... Ah, ah, now here, I discard everyone... Ah, ah, the worst... the absolute worst... ...But I'll live. Ah, ah... Well then, world. Farewell.
