Hazy Skyscraper

Traveling light’s how it usually goes
Mind open wide with heart open closed
Start at the bottom, but time only knows
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
Seek an answer in an infinite skyline
A promising refrain
But the meaning tends to vanish when it’s me, myself and I again

I don’t complain about it. I just don’t have the time
Half the time, wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
Reaching outward, for a life line, that I won’t find, in this lifetime
Descend into dystopia created in my mind

'Cause it’s not fine, and it hasn’t been for a while now
It feels like a struggle to smile now
Like is anything really worth while, how can it be?
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead leaving me high and dry
I can smile with basically anyone, but the riddle’s in who I can frown beside

My chaotic good alliance, a “forget about it” revelation
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
Chase the faded light within the dark, a life inside quotation marks
Maybe something’s missing in this overcast heart

I’m always reaching out, shying away
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it “just me”
It’s better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart?

I figure let’s be (let’s be)
Lonely (lonely)
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
Hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky
Say ani kietai, side by side
Gotta leave it all behind

A broken heart was blinded by a beautiful mind
And even if I could rewind I think I’ll likely wind up lying in
A desperate kind of silence deep inside of this soul
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me whole

We’re told to smile for those you feel like you owe it
Conceal unhappiness, never show it
Get into character, everyone’s watching
Staring, comparing there’s no sign of stopping
I’m dead on my feet but I’m also dead set on not dropping
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking?
Better start walking

If today is a day you don’t wanna pretend
I accept that
We forget being human is never a set back
Staying true to yourself? Don’t regret that
A weakness is strength, I respect that
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Wanna spell it out with a melody, keep on telling myself
It’ll turn into something

Burning inside as I’m learning this life is eternally searching for anyone else who
Can say that they’ve felt that
My sense of my self has me held back
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Within the weary smile of someone else I thought was the same

I’m always reaching out, shying away
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it just me
It’s better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart?

I figure let’s be (let’s be)
Lonely (lonely)
Together, till the weather clears up, that’s enough, like
Hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky
Say ani kietai, side by side
Gotta leave it all behind

Reaching out, shying away
Don’t feel like you gotta stay
Better keep it just me
It’s better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Really you and I are not alike, so let’s keep apart

I’ll kick it just me (just me)
Lonely (lonely)
Forever, 'cause whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
I realize that you just exist within my mind

I’m just a hazy skyscraper fade into the sky
Be like a hazy skyscraper fade into the sky
Forever hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky, now
Hazy skyscraper
Really, there’s no place I belong
