7. Acceptance
8. Escape
9. Single Color of Myself
10. Another Kind of Bravery
1. Self-Scorn
As time went by,
I forgot pleasure
Lost sympathy
Thinking
Only egoism can defend myself
I never accept others
As I wanna show myself as dignified
The feeling of others
Is just as trivial as ashes
The arrogance brings about self-despite
But this despite and scorn comforts me
As the blessing to the lonely one
2. In Indulgence
At the daily life with little change,
I was always grumbling
Being indulged and secured
I was deriding the ordinary way
Indulgence induces grumbles and selfishness
And they affirm indulgence
My life led without reflection, I wish I didn't realize
A good way to live is a good way to die
Two facets of a same way
Few live realizing this
"Decide the way you live by yourself
Never care about the voices of others
Otherwise you would lose too soon"
3. The Answer
Looking at my own figure
Wriggling and screaming in the limp membrane
I averted my eyes from my actual being
That can't earnestly grasp and acquire
Trust, comfort nor respect
No one would desire to keep such a disposition
Now I must gaze at and understand my true self
In trying this, I will understand my appearance
I can get away any time
But now I must confront my true self
I must talk with my true self
As the Answer lies in my own self
4. Wings of Hope
If I could have acquired wings
I wouldn't have looked up the skies
If I could have acquired wings
I wouldn't have regarded my dreams as unreal
I'm a human being and not an animal
Wings, the ones I can never acquire
Change dreams into hopes, showing our way to lead
Wings, the ones I can never acquire
Support and empower the oppressed
5. In This Freezing Night
In the freezing space
I'm together only with an illusion
Nothing's here again in this freezing night
If you hold me, I know you are not here
With the depressing sense of loss
I seek the illusion
And the sense of caress brings about sadness
From the pouring tears,
I felt my attachment to life
The life in the illusory caress
Is led between the despair and joy
6. Without Any Answer
In despair and anxiety over life
The trivial resisted against the big
Without any hope
I just longed for the brightness
I wondered what would satisfy me
I hackled myself without finding any answer
I wonder where the answer lies
But no answer can be found unless sought
7. Acceptance
Grumbles and arrogance are oozing out
"I esteem myself"
Such a phrase like pus
You are dribbling on your way
Tenderness? Compassion?
The make no sense for you
People lead a life through oblivion
Sadly to say
They forget unwittingly
So I want you to realize
That genuine intellect is based on the acceptance of others
Never forget compassion upon them
8. Escape
Please don't express your sorrow for this single word
I can't get you any more clothes of tenderness
I'm longing for the warmth in this fragmented life
I, who used to get in touch with many other people
Is now seized by pain
And for fear of getting wounded,
I began to think
Tenderness is not to get in touch with others.
9. Single Color of Myself
Eat up dreams one after another
You, living dead
Feel pride, anger and sorrow
At your existence as yourself
Everything was over
You can do nothing anymore
"You are a little bit madder, a little bit madder than others"
Till you get a color of your own
You, be a flower
Still beautiful after withering
"Dream is not what you search out, but what will come out in front of you"
"Dream is not what will come out, and you must work hard to make the dream come true"
Yes, that was the last dialogue between me and you
I just wanted a single color of myself
10. Another Kind of Bravery
In the love of sigh
In the mockery of misery
Find the foolishness and pleasure of life
Resign yourself to bleed
Resign yourself not to be accepted
And have the bravery to hurt to be accepted
Have the bravery to ask for help.
