RAVEN

Resonating, flags held high
Voices scatter away

Sneaky officials
Ignite flames for the minority
Don’t die, it’s okay
Irresponsibility flies around, it’s someone else’s problem
The big shots say, "For the future ahead,"
The people are at their wits' end
More than that, we question the days we’re living

When we speak, we’re not acknowledged
The adults enforce silence with their eyes
The soundless keys are crushed and discarded, losing sight of tomorrow
The mascot we signed a contract with
Is swallowed by the waves of prohibition
Even the thinnest thread is severed, abandoning us into the darkness of loneliness

On mornings wishing to die, even hope melts from our mouths
No one notices the person in the rain
With blackened, muddied wings, we can’t see tomorrow
On nights wishing to disappear, there’s no gap to rely on
We were supposed to hold hands, but eventually, we’ll be abandoned
If someday light can be seen where we take flight

There’s no light

Hello, flightless birthday!!

Not knowing left from right
Not knowing myself
Saying "I want to die" becomes a sin in this world
In a world where information flies around
Our wounds are neglected
Choking on swirling words, crying in loneliness

On mornings wishing to die, even hope melts from our mouths
No one notices the person in the rain
With blackened, muddied wings, we can’t see tomorrow
On nights wishing to disappear, there’s no gap to rely on
We were supposed to hold hands, but eventually, we’ll be abandoned
If someday light can be seen where we take flight

As morning comes again, will this voice reach out?
In the days that will eventually come
We are the ravens
Even if we can’t say our wounds
It’s fine because we’re alive, so we scream now

Even if we’re alive, we’ll die someday
Even if we’re alive, we’ll die someday
In the fleeting moments of being alive
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel happiness?
