about

First track of debut album Persona

lyrics

Where is your determination?
Destined to decide for me
I’ ve lived too long for you
Don’t want to die the same way

Drunk so I won’t remember
Where the last day has left me
To find the day on his way
To an edge a little more down

What is your pursuit?
In this personification of a man
Who wanders from year to year
Hoping that time goes by fast

My life is like a movie
And I’m not particularly proud
There should be a persona
Full of drive, I feel hollow

Rainbows in the rear-view mirror
that burn me to the ground

The white curtains are heavenly
In their simple becoming
Shutting the day off from the room
He sits there like a dying victim
Awaiting his punishment
As it dawns on him like
A continuous joke
Embarrassing him

Rainbows in the rear-view mirror
that burn me to the ground

Fighting my tears, I don’t want to greet
Embracing my fears, I can’t stand to meet
I live in memories and cry in the past
I wonder how long this will last

Losing myself by what I’ve lost
