Lyric

2 a.m., a nightmare breaks my sleep

Outside the window, gentle rain repeats

That sound she loved, so soft, so kind

If I just listen, maybe the fear

Was eaten away by a dream-eating beast

Yesterday I saw her lonely face

Or maybe I imagined the trace

I wish the storm would pass her by

And only soft rain reach her sky

Hey, dream-eater Baku, if you’re real tonight

Please protect her dreams with all your might

These splinters of regret that choke my throat

Turn them into nightmares, swallow them whole

Lunchtime noise and flashing light

I felt her sadness passing by

I tried to turn, to chase her name

But this must be that dream again

I pray so hard my hands might bleed

But my feet are stitched beneath the street

Tonight I’ll ride on Baku’s back

Across the storm of guilt and black

To where her heart has lost its sound

And plant a newborn dream I’ve found

Hey, dream-eater Baku, can you hear?

Her crying fades into the night so clear

My voice can’t reach her, fading thin

So please, wrap her gently in your wings

A flower decays, too small to bloom

Her lips forgot how to pray to the moon

So take her sorrow, devour the gloom

And let her morning shine anew
