月光 (Moonlight)

Collecting nothing but junk
Covering it with a rag
A replica with an ugly shape

Words spun by someone
Melodies played by someone
A twisted collage of fakes

At first, it was all behind a veil
The love of a determined boy

Before we knew it, we couldn’t see anymore
A child who lost their toy is crying

I wonder why
Under that spotlight
Your back keeps drifting away from my hands

I can’t become like you
Chasing after that moon
My thirsty heart remains unfulfilled

Becoming alone, becoming alone
I kept dreaming of rotting dreams
Tracing over what we are

Even if it’s junk, even if it’s a rag
In the blood that heart pumps
There was my own anger

What was missing, I wonder?
After asking God
I was silenced by a fallen angel’s arrow

I knew it from the start
I’m playing a forgotten role
Holding onto a borrowed sword

How many times have I been disappointed?
I just want to throw it all away

Surely in the end, nothing will remain
Love, the roots we spun, names will decay

I wonder why
Stuck deep in my chest
Is a loneliness like the silence of a winter night

You probably don’t even know
While looking at the stars alone
You don’t feel anything for me with my red eyes

You standing next to me feels so far away
And I can’t see those rotting dreams anymore
Yet I keep chasing

Whether it’s fake or real
If I shake it off now, there’s just
A blurred memory left

Irony turned to waste
I want to break free from clichés

Again, someone’s reheating it

The countless stars collapsing
Dissolving into a fading ecstasy

Unconscious moonlight

Even my identity is an illusion
I want love even if I have to steal it

Clouds like sheep floated in the afternoon
A nostalgic song sways in the wind
Words you taught me with your voice
I’m still trying to remember
The same thing so I won’t forget

I can’t become like you
Chasing after that moon
My thirsty heart remains unfulfilled

As time passes, as time passes
When I look back, I won’t look away
We trace over what we are

Even if it’s junk, even if it’s a rag
At the end of chasing this endless dream
There’s always my own light.
