Lyric

The skyline yawns like it doesn’t care

Underpass, sudden rain

Guess umbrellas are just a suggestion

Crossed with suits and Monday blues

Everyone chasing what’s “correct”

Blue ticks, unread replies

Words get heavy when they mean less

In my earbuds I’m the lead

Every sidewalk, my red carpet

Even if the sun won’t rise

Tokyo’s fine without my cries

Didn’t wanna wait, not even try

But somehow I’m still here, aren’t I?

Hey, did someone call me?

In this backstreet parade

The louder I laugh, the lonelier it gets

Take a look - I’m smiling, see?

But can you hear it thump?

My heart’s making all the noise

Elevators and neon signs

They turn me invisible

Conversations with no names

I slipped in just one lie

Thought I’d mastered this game

Polished my “I’m fine” phrase

But every day without you

Feels like the wind’s gone missing

No destination needed now

Tokyo’s still a beauty queen

Draped in dreams I couldn’t touch

Pretending fits me better now

So what did you believe in?

In this backstreet parade

Got lost in someone else's truth

Still - maybe that's okay

As long as I can smile

I might just love the space inside me

(Hey - I’m still right here)

Another rain pulls the past away

If you're out there somewhere

Just leave the voice, not the name

Yeah, no one ever knew me

In this backstreet parade

Even the pain has its charm tonight

Watch me in today’s disguise

Crying with a grin

Still, I’m standing right where I belong
