Artists

To watch another craft with words
About things you don’t know
To watch their pen dance across their page
With no idea where it will go

To watch another paint a scene
Upon a canvas white
I remember the gradual image that came forth
As the colors used came to light

To watch another compose a score
With naught but the sounds they can hear
Writing note after note upon the staff
A melody shall appear

To watch another use their thoughts
Make something new from their mind
Is a matter of simply accepting what we can all do

What inner potential we can find

Rolling Girl [English Adaptation Lyrics]

A rolling girl is always on the run
She runs ahead to be someone
Someone new, a new person of her own
Always running ahead, always running alone

“It’s no big deal”, that’s always what she said
That “her” isn’t real, it’s all within her head
Failed again, lost once more
Without fail it always just seems to end badly.
This cycle repeats again

Once again, one more time
Keep on moving forward while you seek what you look for
She repeats, she reminds
Though the words don’t have any meaning to her anymore

“Is that all?” “It’s not over yet”
There’s just too much ahead for me to give up
I still say that this is not enough

The lonely girl’s a shadow of herself.
Unable to believe someone else
What she wants still conflicts within her mind.
What voices does she hear?
What answers will she find?

“No big deal” she says to herself now
“I’m sure it will all work out somehow”
Even though she knows for sure that
she has everything in her hands that this task takes
Even still she makes mistakes

“One more time, please once more
I know I can roll on to what I have been searching for”
She says here, without fear
Repeating to herself the meaning she holds dear

“Ready yet?” “Just a little more”
We might be able to see something new soon
If we wait and see what’s now in store

Repeat once, repeat twice
“I will now roll forth today and just seize it”
She will heed that advice
Playing with words that will elicit a smile

“Ready yet? “Yes, of course”
You were just as tired as me with this cycle
We can now move on without remorse

Dear You ~Vocal~ [English Adaptation Lyrics] (Inspired for Reina Ryuuga)

Please tell me where you are
Are you right here, right beside where I stand?
Or are you gone somewhere
Living on in that distant sky?
As I stand here waiting
Standing alone with my own memories
All that I remember is how we used to be

In those days forgotten we all knew how to live our lives as one
Taking each day as another gift under the sun

What we had back then was a time that had no pain
Of all the friends we had, right now only I remain
I see those days as a dream we could have had
Yet somewhere, it broke and now I stand, alone and sad

What we had, what we felt, what I believed in those strange days
What you chose to show me to cut through the haze

I remember how we fought and we were matched as equals on that field
I remember how we both stood our ground, refusing to yield
You were a challenge, someone who could keep up with my fast pace
Now that I’m alone here there is nothing I have to replace

If I could go back to that day it first began
I’d tell myself "Trust in them, they’ll understand"
These are the five people who are always by your side
Among each other, there’s nothing to hide

I believe you’re out there living among the clouds up in the sky
Finding a good answer for the question I had asked; “Why?”
Even if I stay here, wrapped up alone within these memories
I believe I’ll find some meaning floating out on the breeze

Beginning [English Adaptation Lyrics]

No matter how I feel this pain is to never end
My past remains a burden here that defines me in full
I feel damnation’s pull

Now I see how this sin defines me
Holding me here, fighting on endlessly
The burdens of my past will never fade away
They’ll always weigh on who I will be

Can you truly say that we can ever be okay?
The words you gave to me that day just simply can’t be trusted
What path can we take to make up for our past mistake?
In this deceptive world, I live without faith

No matter how I feel this existence remains cursed
My life and death both burden me, and I can’t tell which is worse
This fate revolves around and pulls me along this road
Past fields that bloom with hatred’s rose that I had once sowed
Lead me on my way, where I went astray, on that accursed day

I have known for sure that things can’t turn out well
Whether things will fail is something time will tell
And I still cannot know the reasons why I fell
Because I’m sure I’m caught in that spell

These visions all pass within my never changing view
I know they’re tied up to my past and how it ties back to you
I will fight again, because that’s how I will move on
By destroying myself and starting anew

The name that I once had is tied to that long lost place
It was back there where I once fell and my fight began
Please can I find courage to make the darkness disappear?
Is there any way to save myself now that I am here?

No matter how I feel this existence remains cursed
My life and death both burden me, and I can’t tell which is worse
This fate still revolves round and pulls me along this road
Past fields that bloom with hatred’s rose that I had once sowed
Leading me that way, where I went astray, and now forever stay

Once Upon a Me [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Please stay beside me and hang out because we get along
Please listen to what I now sing, this slightly gloomy song
The reflection that I now see in mirrors everyday
Resembles who I am no matter what anyone might say

It still was sad then, it really hurt when
No one would listen to me while I would be singing
And so I would be crying by the time my song would end
And my knees were my only friend

As these tears kept falling down my face and fell to the Earth,
I realized the value they all held and what they were worth.
As long as this feeling can reach someone who stands close to you
I’m sure they can feel that meaning here too

Right now I’m heading towards some unknown tomorrow
I hear some voices that I’m sure I already know
They say “I’ll see you then” as they wave hands to and fro
And wish me luck as I now turn and begin to go
As I now break into a run upon the hard asphalt
I made a promise that I could say again…
And so it’s “Bye Bye” to that person I was back then

Would you please stand by me and receive what I now have to give
Because it’s thanks to you that I am now more positive
“My fragile heart is twinkling here”
Wouldn’t you say that is how it would appear?

Did it seem sad then? Did it hurt back when
it was frustrating but Please don’t say you’re ignored
and no one listens to any advice from you?
Because I know that’s not true, my friend

Your tears falling down where no one sees have reached me here
I can tell that their cause will soon disappear
And everything will be alright even if we were to be apart
Because I can now see your heart

Even as you now head out into that tomorrow
I shouted these words at your back as you turned to go
“I believe you’ll surpass anything anyone could know”
“And I am sure your confidence will eventually grow”
I send this message out with my new sparkling heart
It’s running past you now so you can see
So say now “Goodbye to that one person I used to be”

Everybody listen to the song I sing to you
It’s sung as a way to thank you for all you’ve helped me through
To all the people who supported me way back when
I had felt like crying to myself alone back then

It was so sad then, I was so mad when
Things didn’t seem to work out and crumbled out of line.
But you still made me shine and this song became mine
And so then, it’s my turn this time

As you struggle to keep floating in the sea of doubt
I now reach with my arms to you to help you out
I can sing this magic song that’s titled “It’s alright”
And show you how the end’s in sight

Right now I’m headed onwards to tomorrow with you
As we move hand and hand past all the things that we knew
And even against the rough wind we’re pushing through
Are the voices cheering to confirm what we’ll do
Even if we were both crying there at that one place
Our smiles now erase them without a trace
We say now “Bye bye”, to both the people we can now replace

Mosaic Roll [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Here we are, once more again
In that mixed up life, we had back then
Although nothing has changed, within this place
I still can move forward, ahead from here at my own pace

Although my glasses fall, I still can see
As they now hit the floor, haphazardly
The way they scatter forth, just like you
But because you’re me, I guess I act in the same way, “Careless” too

Is it alright to say “we were in love”?
In that time, way back when, we remained joined here
Is our mistake something they can call fate
As our love in this world shall now disappear?

In those days, I tired then, of the way you were, who you’d been
I didn’t know for sure, if this was love
Or what to call this thing, that only seemed to end

A lack of sympathy, and pointless sex
Is simply how we were, at our best
It wasn’t difficult, to sever ties
To say that simple truth, between the lines

But I still say that’s OK now

So I suppose we could have been in love
Since we clung so tightly to what we had then
And in some way it comes as no surprise
That it’s me who must now, work to sever our ties

I guess it’s right to say “we were in love”
In a way, we still live, like we’re together
And even though we both have had enough
This joined bond that we shared can cleanly sever

Catching Sparks

The flames of inspiration that burn brightest here
Are often sparked by other flames
The greatest work that drives you forth
May bear another’s name

Ideas can spread across all gaps
And catch upon one’s mind
As long as you bank the fire here
Others will respond in kind

One spark of inspiration lights
A chain of unbound flames
And over time, far past their prime
That glowing light remains

Within the embers of long spent fuel
Sparks still glow warmly here
As long as one has just begun

This flame won’t disappear
