TENGU

A modern dark rock song sung by a TENGU.
For when you want to get fired up!

- Lyrics -

Behind the MISU, a spider weaves
Another me, made in my image
Whispering, "Be yourself"
It brings me a today that looks like yesterday

On the SANDO, a path of consent I thought I had chosen
My footprints are the only ones missing
Whenever the faceless god laughs
Only my titles keep growing

Did I win, or was I made to win?
Did I run, or was I made to run?
Even those questions become the next bait
Apparently my value drops if I stop

Flowers are crushed beneath "Likes"
Birds cry in the voice of notifications
The wind blows through the recommended feed
The moon waxes and wanes on an LCD screen

Who scrolled the four seasons away?
I am watching, yet I see nothing
Unread, unread KACHO FUGETSU
Only my true feelings remain out of range

The sweat inside my armor turns cold
A notification rings, saying, "Be strong"
The mirror of the underworld reads my logs
Even the weakness I hid becomes evidence

HYAKKI march in a line at two in the morning
A blue moon above a sleepless man
Even my dreams are appraised by someone
And I am losing my reason to wake

Do I want it, or was I made to want it?
Am I strong, or was I made to act strong?
Every time I chant, "I agree"
The me who is not me grows fatter

Earn compete stay silent endure
Whose voice is that? Is it mine?
Hell is not beneath the ground
It sits upon the winner's chair

Recommended for you
Which one chose you?

Take the flowers back from "Likes"
Go and hear the birds in their own voices
The wind has no need for recommendations
The moon is followed by no one

Beyond the place where you remove your armor
A nameless night begins to breathe
The KACHO FUGETSU left unread
Now----what will you call beautiful?

The flowers?
The birds?
The wind?
The moon?

Was it I who chose?
Or was I the one chosen?
