Greedy hyenas sneak up on me, hiding their fangs and lies
Once you get caught, they'll bleed you dry and there's nothing left for you
Feel free to claim your rights, you'll end up being replaced
I can't stay like this, how can I make a getaway?
All I need is to run, chasing the stratus clouds
Going through an old system, I'm sick of peer pressure
Cross the fence outta this asylum and explore
Now I found my freedom
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Burned into my memory and it awakens my head
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Point a knife to my chest, I still can no longer stop
During my flight, I think of my friends who have passed away
The fainted lights appears when I'm lost in the dark
They bring back our time with laughs, always lead me to the right way
They're not here anymore
All I need is to run, chasing the stratus clouds
Going through an old system, I'm sick of peer pressure
Cross the fence outta this asylum and explore
Now I found my freedom
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Burned into my memory and it awakens my head
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Point a knife to my chest, I still can no longer stop
What I want, and what I wanna be
Who I know, and who I need to see
This is it, a life you led me
Set off on a journey from there
What I want, and what I wanna be
Who I know, and who I need to see
This is it, a life you led me
Set off on a journey from there
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Burned into my memory and it awakens my head
I'm the one who shouts out my convictions, I can't turn back to Tokyo now
The scent of the flowers, still left in my room
Point a knife to my chest, I still can no longer stop
