I'm staring at the ceiling again
Counting all the cracks in the paint
Thinking 'bout the things that you said
And all the ways I'm starting to faint
Woah, I'm never looking back this time
Woah, I'm leaving all the ghosts behind
It's a long way down from where we used to be
But I'm finally feeling like I'm finally me
The brain is playing our song
But the static's getting louder today
I knew that we were right all along
Until I went and threw it away
Woah, I'm never looking back this time
Woah, I'm leaving all the ghosts behind
It's a long way down from where we used to be
But I'm finally feeling like I'm finally me
And I don't want to wait for the world to change
I just want to feel something real again
So clear blind dance
I'm staring at the ceiling
So clear blind dance
I'm staring at the ceiling
So clear blind dance
I'm staring at the ceiling
So clear blind dance
I'm staring at the ceiling again
Woah, I'm never looking back this time
Woah, I'm leaving all the ghosts behind
It's a long way down from where we used to be
But I'm finally feeling like I'm finally me
So clear blind dance
So clear blind dance
So clear blind dance
So clear blind dance
I feel our breathing
Finally me

CLEAR
HIROAKI NAKASHIMA
This song combines a fast-paced, rock-influenced sound with acoustic, straightforward, and melodic elements. The entire song, written in English, is based on an original composition by Toshiyuki Shishido, a childhood friend of HIROAKI and a former band member. This marks the first time in his solo career that he has worked with someone other than himself on songwriting.
