Tender Sugar
Akira Yamaoka
I run
I fall
What ripped away?
Check my body
Was it body or soul?
The darkness fades
Fades to the light
Disappearing now
Disappears from the night
And all these nightmares I once had
As a child
The morning always came
It came too late
What did my mind forget?
Forget to hide
Could the nightmare be awake?
I don't know
In or out?
Up or down?
Never know, it's an illusion
'Round and 'round,
On and on,
Everyday spins my confusion
Not again, not again, not again
This dream I can't awake
What is real? What is real? What is real?
It's getting hard for me to take
What I need? What I need? What I need?
A little something I rely
And the white sugar gently hides me
Oh, the sweet sugar saves me
It's the room that confines me
Confines me
Sweet sugar
Yesterday,
Back and forth,
Broken door no longer opens
Breaking down,
Need it now,
Mother's sugar always loves me
Not again, not again, not again
This dream I can't awake
What is real? What is real? What is real?
It's getting hard for me to take
What I need? What I need? What I need?
A little something I rely
And the white sugar gently hides me
Oh, the sweet sugar saves me
It's the room that confines me
