Lightning

I can't go back now
To what I was yesterday
With a grip that reaches out
I’ll keep pushing through

Still believing in sweet dreams
I never thought I’d say that
The world’s true nature is a mess
We must have seen it together

There’s no way it’s not there
The reason I keep living
Even if it hurts so much
Don’t stop until I die
I have no regrets

Living is tough, isn’t it?
I’m sure my wounds ache
People hold onto their burning lives
In the end, they leave their will behind

Even if my body falls apart
And eventually fades away
The proof I lived, just that pride
Is not a lie
So today, I carry this pain

Yesterday won’t come back
If I brush it off, I see blood
I think there’s no rescue
In this harmony of fate

Today’s truth is just
A reality that makes me doubt
I’ll trudge through this muddy place
And keep moving forward

If gentle memories
Can make my eyes well up
Then I’ll embrace it with both hands
The place where my heartbeat is
Is not a future that’s set in stone

Living is tough, isn’t it?
Even tomorrow feels scary
People wander, and somehow meet
Those who sway the scales of life

The day I become a nameless star
Even without a farewell
Shining brightly, just that pride
Will be passed on
And I’ll know the reason I lived

People hold onto their burning lives
In the end, they leave their will behind

Even if my body falls apart
And eventually fades away
The proof I lived, just that pride
Is the lightning that lights up the night sky

It’s not a lie
So today, I carry this pain
