Trouble Over Tokyo

it's been a long time since I wrote anything down
my ambition, it took over
and I looked at others to put things right

I can't believe that after all the progress I've made
I fell deeper in the coma
but I think I'm starting to take some breath

but every time that I wake
it's like I only wake into a dream
and everything that I break reforms itself
it reforms itself, it reforms itself
and everything that I lose gets found again
and dusts itself off clean
and every time that I choose I forget again
I forget again, I forget again

have I been lying all this time to keep myself stuck?
I've been nowhere, I've done nothing
I've been talking to myself for so long

and is my music only a way for me to ignore?
that my freedom
is my wisdom
is my movement
is my kingdom
and my kingdom
is dependant
on a treason
so resplendant
that it lights up
every corner
every liar
every mourner
every cancer
every injured
every killer
every hindered
every believer
every denier
every consumer
every buyer

but every time that I wake
it's like I only wake into a dream
everything that I break reforms itself
it reforms itself, it reforms itself
and everything that I lose gets found again
and dusts itself off clean
and every time that I choose I forget again
I forget again, I forget again

every time that I wake
it's like I only wake into a dream
and everything that I break reforms itself
it reforms itself, it reforms itself
and everything that I lose gets found again
and dusts itself off clean
and every time that I choose I forget again
I forget again, I forget again

on a train from the sun to the rain
I felt my heart vibrating, vibrating
and then it fall when I answer the call
and I hear your voice

your tears got in the way of what you wanted to say
and I couldn't make out who you were
and I concluded to start to surmise that your heart
was in pieces and shards, pieces and shards

oh god, what can I do?
I've imploded and all I can think of is you
and I've been so lost I've started to lose my mind

don't go, can you hear me, don't go, I'm in transit
and something is wrong with my phone, can you hear me?
I'm losing my signal and you are 4,228 miles away from me

oh no, what's happening to me?
I've been blined by love and I'm struggling to see
and I don't know how to cope with the pain
so I'm standing and crying alone in the rain

you're the air I need when I can't breathe
you're the voice that gets where I can't reach

and all the waves across the sea will part for you to be with me

my phone cut and I couldn't get through
and my head was a mess with a picture of you
on your own in the street at a quarter to three
and the last one who heard you alive would be me

where are you? can you hear me?
am I see-through? can you feel me?
'cause I'm frightened that you're hurting
and you're thinking of deserting

'cause you're the air I need when I can't breathe
you're the voice that gets where I can't reach

all the waves across the sea will part for you to be with me
all the waves across the sea will part for you to be with me

steam is rising from the ground
and the people are still running
evacuating, scared for their lifes
while helicopters circle

honey, please, don't listen to them
you're in no danger when you're with me
the ground is shaking under our feet
but I don't feel it when you kiss me

please, babe don't take your eyes off me
'cause the world may crumble
and fall down around us
but you know, babe you're the last thing I want to see
and the earth may open
but babe don't take your eyes off me

it looks like this really is the end
'cause they say that evil is approaching
and the say come out here and defend
but I don't hear them when you touch me

please, babe don't take your eyes off me
'cause the world may crumble
and fall down around us
but you know, babe you're the last thing I want to see
and the earth may open
but babe don't take your eyes off me

please, babe don't take your eyes off me
'cause the world may crumble
and fall down around us
but you know, babe you're the last thing I want to see
the earth may open
but babe don't take your eyes off me

I've been living with a secret, secret
and I don't know if I can keep it, keep it
and I know that if I leave it, leave it
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

it seems that life has got so hectic, hectic
it's getting harder to protect it, tect it
but I know that if I let it, let it
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety

it seems my honour is forsaken, saken
it seems my friends have started hating, hating
all my nervous system's shaking, shaking
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

I'm a criminal in hiding, hiding
and you're the father I confide in, fide in
there's a shadow that's been rising, rising
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety
