“Shiro” Lyrics

On a childish summer night
Away from the streetlights
Reflected in kids’ eyes
Dance the fireflies

Dilated pupils see
Lightshows while the grownups sleep
They dream in dollar green
Nature dreams around me

Smiles and lives like fireflies 
They glow in waves
Secrets and mysteries live
In your childhood days

Writing prose is okay by the daylight
But writing nights is for a mind like a firefly
Writing prose is okay by the daylight
But writing nights is for a mind like a firefly

Sweet simplicity
It took me decades of study to achieve
To free the kid in me

Free it
The feeling
Stop thinking
Don’t be afraid
To fail your way

I’ve seen it
The free live
The sea lends
A feeling of being a wave

Smiles and lives like fireflies 
They glow in waves
Secrets and mysteries live
In your childhood days

Smiles and lives 
Like fireflies
Glow in waves I’m falling
In waves I’m falling

Child for life
Colors outside the lines
The ground is falling away
I’m soaring

Fall away
Fearless like I was
I just want to learn to play

Fall away
Tumbling impulse
I just want to feel the waves

Fall away
Fearless like I was
I just want to learn to play

Fall away
Tumbling impulse
I just want to feel the waves

Freedom from fear
Break
Impulsing
Break

Freedom from fear
Break
Impulsing
Break

Fall away

Freedom
Break
Impulsing
Break
Fearless like I was
I just want to feel the waves

Fall away

Freedom
Break
Impulsing
Break
Fearless like I was
I just want to feel the waves

Free it
The feeling
Stop thinking
To fail your way

Free it
The feeling
Stop thinking
To fail your way

Free it 
The feeling
Stop thinking
Don’t be afraid

Here are the lyrics: 

 

Touch of Destiny

VERSE 1


Adrift in Kyoto nights
Between conveyer lives
Her finger pressed send

The extra puzzle piece 
To the future planned out east
Like cookie cutters

 

CHORUS


In the summer she drifted to me
Like a reed in a stream finds an eddie

Now she’s nothing but faint memories 
Of a future that wasn’t to be


And I’m searching for strange families 
In the cafes and lantern-lit alleys

Under skies of a dead channel grey
Fragile memories are fated to fade 

 

CHORUS 2

Just one day in every 10 years 
She steps off a ship of her fears 

Let the souls of the dead drift away, 
Til the sun burns the remnants of day

Cos I’m searching for strange families 
In the clubs and the cable-strewn alleys

Under skies of a dead channel grey
Fragile memories are fated to fade

 

VERSE 2


Tattooed behind the ear
To mark the day the fear
And trauma marked her

Now she can’t meet my eyes
An open circuit dies
If you can’t close it


 

CHORUS 3


In the summer she drifted to me
Like a touch of destiny

Like a past life was starting to bleed
Into this future reality

And I’m searching for community
In the cafes and lantern-lit alleys

Under skies of a dead channel grey
Fragile memories are fated to fade
