Opacities

Welcome to the city face A pretty haze upon the face Whatever you see it's all up to thee Whatever you see it's all up to thee Million years of evolution Rides the tide to devolution Can't you feel the energy? No, no, no what do you mean? All the negativity? What do you mean? What do you mean? Don't trust anybody Don't trust anybody! Now all I see are guises of ghosts In the street vermin elite The minions will sleep (Neon lights) The smoke screens they whisper (Neon lights) Suppressing the weak (Neon lights shine) These city lights are conjuring fear As shadowed soon disappear I'm in the crowd of puppets again I see the eyes beneath the reign They're creeping through the alleyway They multiply surrounding my face Million years of evolution Rides the tide to devolution Don't trust anybody Don't trust anybody! Now all I see are guises of ghosts In the street vermin elite The minions will sleep (Neon lights) The smoke screens they whisper (Neon lights) Suppressing the weak (Neon lights shine) Celebration of disgrace Under fear they reign Celebration of disgrace Under fear they reign You don't aspire for solitude now do you? Your hearts can heal and fly up high again What is it to be? They say Materilust can speak Where be? Under a weeping moon Battle beneath the sleep on to Battles of endless greed Too true why can you not see? And eventually they will become Cold and empty beings, why so? The puppeteers control Battle beneath the sleep, I see you! Battles of endless greed Under a weeping moon Now all I see (At last I can see) Are guises of ghosts (Guises of ghosts) In the street vermin elite, elite, reign! The minions will sleep (Neon lights) The smoke screens they whisper (Neon lights) Suppressing the weak (Neon lights shine) I see you, I see you Under the weeping moon I see you Under the weeping moon I see you, I see you, I see you Under the weeping moon I see you, I see you, I see you Under the weeping moon

I liked the life of window walking Night drinking 'til a morning crow greets A peaceful stroll in Shibuya's golden hour Communication has gotten so much Easier with inventions by web men There's so much more fun to be made Yet I can't help but think Tokyo lights don't seem quite like they used to And the moon is a different shade And all the colours have changed Even if appearing the same And I am lost in the crossroads And I am lesser in love, and in love But as I stare up at all these Winding lights and whirls There be a flower being in the midst and There be a shower of hope upon my being! But I just remind myself and I must be clear And obey my words in which wisdom is found: Don't forget to smile Too many moons have passed without such joy Don't forget to smile Madly into the incoming traffic Don't forget to smile Madly at every eye that wanders by Waving my hand all but a sudden gust of Wind passes my face And I am uplifted within and now we are Looming over a lake of low fog and a Bright figure slowly hovers above the mist She had found the fairest light And she be smiling right into me And I smile back effortlessly Then she be a shadow She disappears into the footstep din And my boat is empty But look! She be standing there by the window And glances back Maybe we can find that river Which flows towards the sea of ancient waves And flower beings, beyond the weeping trees So stood there on the crossroads I tell myself again Don't let your boat be empty Don't be a sunken dream Don't let your boat regret thee For what you could have seen

I told myself to go Under ten feet of snow I couldn't wipe the smile off my face Under tainted light I did embrace A medicated mind Never knew what it could find But when one day the colour turned to grey Couldn't feel a thing and on my own again These eyes staring back at me Darker than I've ever seen So far away from home Every place I go So far away from home Everywhere I know A thick fog which I can't see through A thick fog which I can't see through Where be thou destiny? Lost in a state of sleep? Tried to fly away so I could think Ever since I proceeded to sink Onto an empty road Every step more alone I lay awake another night to scream and say (I) can't believe it's all turned out this way Now all I see are shades, shades of grey So far away from home Every place I go So far away from home Everywhere I know These eyes staring back at me Darker than I've ever seen A new cityscape, new faces I find I covert this new light to shine You found me so soon Melancholy moon, I wish you would just go away Go away! Go away! Sleep Go to sleep Just say goodbye (say goodbye) Oh how are we feeling now? What about that black cloud that keeps following ya? Don't you think it would be more fun In a world of bubble gum? Welcome to the maze, the mist and the haze It's gotten so misty in here, it's hard to see properly Welcome to the maze, the mist and the haze This world just keeps getting darker Darker by the day, and all I see Don't even think, don't even try and think! Come on, come on! We gotta fly away, fly away! I don't know where we're going just get on the fucking plane! Where be the colours I knew? Where be the flowers I used to know, where so? When it looks like it's over And hope is just a word You may walk in limbo into the snow You may feel like a shadow, like nobody is home When you walk in shadows Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow Under the snow

The deepest eyes that I have known The sadness beamed a light so beautiful A heart can glow So bright if it has grown Through the pain And darkened doors You smiled in summer rain I swam on in, entwined to shine But soon I fell Couldn't even see myself Walking into dreams And walking out of love Wake to find that you have gone The winter moon has come A heart can glow, so bright if it has grown Through the pain, and through darkened doors You smiled in summer rain Days are dreamed and days are gone Days are dreamed and days are gone Think I'll be moving on, moving on Days are dreamed and days are gone I guess I'll try to move along Days are dreamed and days are gone I guess I'll try to move along Fire flies by windows, I see your face again Bed-light days, moonlit haze Fall to my knees again Why? Why? Why? Why? I wished for the day That I could see your eyes again
