MONOTONE 03:57
Hey, I understand you by feeling the sound just about you Now open your arms Something is starting to shine It's not now that something strange has happened Now take your a deep breath and your eyes wide open “It's up to you whether It's a miracle or a lie..........”

Glass Bird 05:01
I see I hear I know She knows Understanding You&me One You are not me I'm not you Knowing is not all Falling down for blue Maybe I'm afraid of today It dies in this world And I miss it When I dreaming She dives to sea

Fin 03:10
You said that I'm nasty I didn't care at all Now is the time to say good-bye Where are you going? You can get out from window But I'm not brave to do so I'm still in the house, I really envy you Which season are you coming back?

Snow Slide 04:30
I see snow all around the sparkling particle Scattering with the wind (faraway...) I noticed the world I was watching was a fake The resident there is now an illusion I'm glad this was a dream Being alone is a light Someone says this is a trial to be strong I don't know................ I met a lonely man who never cries Children wising for the sunlight

I woke up and something was different Did the world change? Or am I the one that has changed? I don't know why....... When people know about each other something changes When night comes I am having fun in my dream I feel good when dreaming ........... Will tomorrow be a different day?

AnthRelax 03:48
One afternoon I looked inside your brain “Do Re Mi” ding-don! The light rhythm, the strange word game, the monochrome childhood You were not just laughing but ... I poured some colorful liquid inside your brain “I believe in your gift” We fear of the night being the next day

PURPLE ROOM 04:20
Do you know? Are you here? What do you think of me? Do you see blue this blue? Are you laughing? Do you see sky? I saw you in the dream Night was blue You must laugh at me I saw red sky Do you know? Who are you? I like you You don't know Do you see red this red? Are you laughing? Do you see blood? I saw you in the dream Night was blue You must laugh at me I saw red sky Maybe I'm crazy “You might don't have to learn” “You need not laugh........”

Upside Down 03:39
the sky is dark the wind is blowing strong a new start for today the sunrises too bright to see closing my eyes I want to sleep all day What you see is all upside down sad and fan things all look upside down

B person 04:49
Name your pain and you becomes a sick person Feel your pain It might kill you someday Don't be so paranoid It's not your fault “God breathe you” I want to say“God breathe you” Even if you don't believe in God “God breathe you” I want to say“God breathe you” I'll see you when I see you You can sleep at night And You can walk anywhere You can die at night You can live the day after tomorrow
