Mask?

July 23, 2007

maichou ni, okite, okite
Go through routines so familiar, so comforting
sekai e mukou mae ni, "mask" wo kazukete
A mask that shows the world, not who we are, but who they want us to be.
Who "They" are, we never really know.
hibi no reiten wo shikakete-
Walking, riding, learning, teaching, yelling, screaming,
laughing, crying, eating, walking, riding,
Resting. Resting. nemuri.

Go through routines so familiar, so comforting

Walking, riding, learning, crying, teaching, crying, yelling, screaming

Freedom.
