Leaning close to your ear—you've always been so tall
Whispering a silent heat that has nowhere left to fall
The heat haze on the asphalt sweeps it all away
Trapping last year’s summer in a circuit, come what may
The scent of chlorine and the ghost of your cologne
Merging into a stain, a mark I’ve always known
"I'll never forget you, as long as I live."
I decode those uncertain words you decided to give
And then... I swim through the night
Under the streetlamp, the buzzing noise of gathering wings—
That was the only love song we ever had, the only thing that sings
From my fingertips, the transparency begins to rise
My form is being decomposed into zeros and ones before my eyes
The rhythm of my heart refuses to synchronize
Ah... it's getting hot again
Stardust and a sugary scent, they start to sing
The night breeze and a faint regret, they start to sing
My forehead, pressed against the shadow of your ear
Stings and throbs, a prickling pain I’ve come to fear
Even if I hold my breath in the water’s cold embrace
The more I try to prove it, the more it leaves no trace
A blue, deep, sinking chord
In the crack where the world stops being the world anymore
Like tearing through the mane of a white stallion on the run
A merry-go-round slowing down, its journey nearly done
Spinning, spinning, until the scenery begins to melt
An instant of eternity, trapped in amber where it knelt
Hey... right now
Where are you? And whose dream are you seeing?
The painful joy, the aching chest—
Don't peel me away from this season’s rest!
Memories and old circuits, they start to sing
The gap between the light and shade, they start to sing
My fingers reaching for your back, too far to ever hold
Tremble with a prickling sting, shivering and cold
Staying drowned inside a dream, sugary and sweet
The more I scratch at it, the more the love feels complete
A red, faint, bleeding noise
At the moment I stop being "me," and lose my voice
Singing... forever
Forgetting... forever
The dream of a beetle
...Goodbye
