Hazy Skyscraper

Traveling light’s how it usually goes

Mind open wide with heart open closed

Start at the bottom, but time only knows

Unravel the tale of the world that I chose

Seek an answer in an infinite skyline

A promising refrain

But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s me, myself and I again

I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time

Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine

Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime

Descend into dystopia created in my mind

'Cause it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now

It feels like a struggle to smile now

Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?

Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead leaving me high and dry

I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside

My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation

Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station

Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks

Maybe something’s missing in this overcast heart

I’m always reaching out, shying away

Don’t feel like you gotta stay

Better keep it “just me”

It’s better that way, trust me

Despite my distorted and selfish heart

Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart?

I figure let’s be (let’s be)

Lonely (lonely)

Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like

Hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky

Say ani kietai, side by side

Gotta leave it all behind

A broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind

And even if I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in

A desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul

To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole

We’re told to smile for those you feel like you owe it

Conceal unhappiness, never show it

Get into character, everyone’s watching

Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping

I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping

But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?

Better start walking

If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend

I accept that

We forget being human is never a set back

Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that

A weakness is strength, I respect that

Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that

Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself

It’ll turn into something

Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who

Can say that they’ve felt that

My sense of my self has me held back

Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain

Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same

I’m always reaching out, shying away

Don’t feel like you gotta stay

Better keep it just me

It’s better that way, trust me

Despite my distorted and selfish heart

Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart?

I figure let’s be (let’s be)

Lonely (lonely)

Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like

Hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky

Say ani kietai, side by side

Gotta leave it all behind

Reaching out, shying away

Don’t feel like you gotta stay

Better keep it just me

It’s better that way, trust me

Despite my distorted and selfish heart

Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart

I’ll kick it just me (just me)

Lonely (lonely)

Forever, 'cause whenever I stop and I look in your eyes

I realize that you just exist within my mind

I’m just a hazy skyscraper fade into the sky

Be like a hazy skyscraper fade into the sky

Forever hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky, now

Hazy skyscraper

Really, there’s no place I belong
