[Intro — lonely piano, distant school ambience] The bell rings in an empty classroom Cherry blossoms fall through the window Your chair is still waiting for you Like yesterday never ended [Verse 1] We ran across the schoolyard Under a sky that never changed Sneaking through the halls at midnight Laughing while we cursed our fate The Battlefront called our names again Another war against the morning light We swore we'd never disappear We swore we'd keep fighting through the night But somewhere underneath the noise I heard a quiet voice Telling me the end wasn't something We had to fear [Pre-Chorus — strings rising] An angel stood beneath the moon With wings hidden in the blue And for a moment I could see The loneliness inside of you Maybe all these broken hearts Were only looking for a place Where someone would finally say “You don't have to stay.” [Chorus — huge anime rock] So meet me underneath the cherry trees When this afterlife finally sleeps We'll leave our weapons on the ground And let the silence take us now If graduation means goodbye Then don't be afraid to close your eyes I'll carry every memory From this strange little world you gave to me Even if the school disappears Even if I can't hold back these tears I'll know somewhere beyond the sky We finally learned how to say goodbye [Verse 2 — glitchcore drums] The cafeteria lights are flickering The baseball field is covered in rain Someone's guitar is still ringing Like a ghost calling my name The Guild is buried underground Our footsteps echo through the halls We fought against an endless night Just to discover we were never lost I remember every stupid plan Every battle we couldn't win Every midnight conversation Every smile we tried to hide And you... You were never really an enemy You were just as scared as me [Pre-Chorus — emotional vocal crack] Maybe the world gave us one more chance To find what we couldn't find back then A reason to laugh A reason to cry A reason to finally live [Chorus — bigger] So meet me underneath the cherry trees When this afterlife finally sleeps We'll leave our weapons on the ground And let the morning light come down If graduation means goodbye Then I'll look at you one final time No more fighting destiny No more running from our memories And when your footsteps fade away I'll thank you for the days you gave In a world that wasn't meant to last You made forever out of the past [Bridge — piano, strings, whispered vocals] The classroom door is open... The desks are empty... The bell rings one last time... And I realize I don't want to stay here anymore. Not because I'm giving up... But because I finally understand. [Breakdown — distorted bass + glitch] We weren't born to fight forever We were only waiting here For someone to find us For someone to hear [Final Chorus — explosive] SO MEET ME UNDERNEATH THE CHERRY TREES WHERE THE LAST PETALS FALL LIKE MEMORIES NO MORE ANGELS, NO MORE WARS NO MORE HIDING WHO WE ARE IF GRADUATION MEANS GOODBYE THEN I'LL SMILE THROUGH THESE TEARS TONIGHT EVERY FRIEND, EVERY SCAR EVERY DREAM THAT BROUGHT US THIS FAR I'll remember the schoolyard I'll remember the rain I'll remember your laughter Calling out my name And when the afterlife disappears When there's nothing left but tears I'll know that somewhere in another sky We found the courage... To say goodbye. [Dreamy Outro — distant female choir, soft piano] The cherry blossoms keep falling... The classroom lights go dark... And somewhere beyond the morning... I hope you're smiling. Goodbye, Angel.
