Don’t say a word
You know that the words you scream in silence when you can’t take it anymore
Don’t do any good here, right?
No matter what I put in my mouth
It tasted like nothing, like I was eating clay
Chased by a clump of night, I fell into a puddle
The girl started to cry and said,
“Why am I so sad?”
Looking down, I answered,
“You’ll get used to it soon, too”
On a see-saw in a park whose brightness grates on me, my quiet heart seems to do a flip
The little lights that illuminate us sparkle like tears
Come with me as I swim into the pale, pale darkness
Never let go of my hand that grips yours hard
Hey, are you still there?
I tiptoe along the side of the long, long road, with no need of shoes
Don’t take your eyes off me til the end
Hey, are you still there?
Even when I forgot everything, I lamented at the obstruction in the evening chill
I knew that even just repeating happiness over and over
Was pointless, but
Even if I put dreams in my mouth
They tasted dull; I was just like a clay doll
In a sunny spot on the road home, I realized I was married forever to my worries
The boy who ran away said,
“Why do I hurt so much?”
Looking him in the eye, I answered,
“It must be for someone’s sake”
In a mulberry field whose liveliness made me lonely,
It seemed like too much of my life had gone by
I reached out to touch the reflections of fireworks that were floating on the bathwater
As you blow along in the gentle, gentle wind
Don’t ever forget the promises we exchanged when we were young
Are you ready?
Throughout my long, long life, I’ve been feeling with my fingertips for love
If tonight is my last night to find it, then tell me
Something true, one more time
It’s crumbling away, it’s crumbling away
Even the view I saw once is losing its color
They’re flowing away, they’re flowing away
Did you see where my tears went?
Hurry, hurry, hurry up and go away
Because I still can’t be honest
I stand here in silence and make you wait for me to come back
Come with me as I swim into the pale, pale darkness
Never let go of my hand that grips yours hard
Hey, are you still there?
I tiptoe along the side of the long, long road, with no need of shoes
Don’t take your eyes off me til the end
Hey, are you still there?
