Everyone's smiling
Hiruma
My eyes, they meet with yours
In this starless night I'm only watching
The one person near to me
I'm only seeing you
My hair falls down my shoulders and
You run your hand over it
Fingers touch cheek, eyes emerge with darkness
In this vacant night I'm only watching
The one person near to me
My lips twitch as I smile
Your hands run down my skin and
I aspirate a word into your ear
Which lets you tremble
For you're the one who bought me
This starless, vacant night
I'm giving you my skin, my groaning, my sigh, my body
Even my smiles
That's all you can expect from me
Says me, says you
Although you wish for more
And I will give for once, for this one time
As long as night lasts
And my eyes are only seeing you.
Sena
You laugh and I laugh with you
You dance around and I'm following
Every single step of yours
Every single move
You keep running until there's no air left in your lungs
And when you look around
I'm there
You laugh again and I can't stop myself
From imitating you
Eventually, we sit silently together
When your gaze drifts off into the sky
Your still smile remains
Whilst your eyes get very sad
And I can't help myself but smile as well
Because for nothing in the world
Would I show, would you show
Openly the truth of your sole being
Death will come
We both know the truth that cannot be denied
Nonetheless we smile
To cover up our invisible tears.
Hiruma and Mamori
Smile, you say
Let's smile together
It's easy to learn smiling
For it's nothing more than a gesture, a mimic?, I ask
Let's smile, you say
This little, inconspicuous thing helps connecting people
Do we really want that?, I do ask
Being connected through something
None of us does understand?
Alright, let us smile
It opens your counterpart's heart
It attracts people
Paradoxically, it can be both
Truth and lie, honest and cunning, healing and violating
Smile, you say
And let us experience
The influence of this gesture, I reply
But you shake your head
Let's smile because
It's more than a gesture
It's a sign one could embrace you open-hearted
Without being rejected
But being able to touch your innermost
Maybe even your lonely heart.
Hiruma
Your hands let go off me and
I'm standing in front of a beaten guy who's crawling on the ground
The sun sets and shadows sprawl
And I'm looking down on something
Less worth than anything I can imagine right now
One last time
You try to raise your head in order to insure yourself
It is no demon craving for
The sight of you wasting away
But the umbrages destroy the rest of hope
By forming silhouettes of mine
Showing more of the truth than I'd have revealed myself
Nothing could be more surreal than
Your own offspring
Raising his hand against yours
Against your words
Against your shouts
Against your disrespect and neglect
Against the fear you sowed
In a child's heart and head
Once, before one of them perished by cold
But now, right now
I'm standing above yourself
Looking down on nothing more than a person
Who never loved
Who never cared
And I feel
Nothing
For you don't concern me anymore
And I smile
It may seem vicious, devilish and merciless
Even fake
But what else would I do
It's victory
Isn't it... ?
Why shouldn't I smile...
