Naoki Ueki This band reminds me of good old day when post hardcore / screamo was not influenced by metalcore.

Emotional scream and clear voice touch my heart.

I can't compete anymore I've been building all these walls to keep you out but every time I'm almost there you start tearing up the first layer of Bricks and stones may break my bones but all your words ignite me I'll take this fire that you lit and watch my doubts burn within it You made a bed where you can't stand to lay If I follow in your footsteps I'll end up the same How could you just let me believe? "Run along and follow your dreams" I've been thinking about all the voices screaming within me There's nothing you can say to reach me I've been lied to by the hand that feeds me But it's getting hard to breathe coexisting with those who don't believe they're telling me to throw away my broken dreams but no I won't be mean I'll just fill your screen with indirect tweets so favourite them and think about it you got it all wrong Tell me it's not me Tell me I'm not the one I'll never be Tell me it's been nice But you got "better ways to spend your time" It turns out all the stories were true this whole time the monster in my closet was you

So you think that you can waltz right in Your form is the furthest thing from perfect Stepping on toes letting it be known That you hate dancing alone And now your true colours are showing Yeah you're nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing You're waiting for a shot to take me down Well this is your chance so take it now Lions never lose sleep, over the opinion of sheep Talk is cheap haven't you heard? You're just a boy lost in words Even you know that you're faking But you keep on playing Cameos in and I'm out Where have you been? i've been down Building the dream you claim you need You're just the latest scene So how does 9-5 taste? With a side of cigarettes and coffee Everyone knows you already sold your soul To the thought of rock and roll With the band try and stand out as planned This is it you never had a chance Lions never lose sleep Over the opinion of sheep Set your priorities straight Cause you've been wasting our time with your insights Now everybody knows you're fake

All Of This 03:42
Speak for yourself Cause my mind's open How does it feel being shut out? You're deceptive and the reason my mind's a mess. Why can't you see that? I could let, this ruin us but I know that you can't handle that I'm all grown up you can relax (Just relax) Just relax So tell me How I should be Cause I'm feeling lost There must be something wrong I can't keep holding on, to all this Will you walk with me through all these Hills and valleys, will you stay with me and figure out All this, will you stay with me through all this I'm surrounded by the thought, That turns my stomach in to knots Go ahead and draw me a map If you think that I'm so lost So what do you expect from me Another boy just stuck in routine It's not hard to admit That I am sick of all of this And what do you want from me? I've given you all the blood I can bleed It's not hard to say that it's not my day

I bet you're feeling it now And it creeps up on you night after night yeah It encases all your bones and takes over your role You take some time to yourself as it takes control You've got your look, but baby I'm blind I've got my touch and this doesn't feel right I can't believe after all this time you run. You run. if you're who you say you are This would have never happened Liar from the start, another thief in the night Playing along just to be polite I tried, so maybe in the next life So what will it take for you to feel the same? From time to time I can't get this weight of my mind Night after night I build the nerve To formulate a plan and escape the tower you left me in With all these ghosts who can't help but notice your flaws They tell me that I'm just another notch. This unknowing is now my surrounding I've been here before and that's comforting Struggling, trying to find what I've been waiting for And I've been waiting for you You lifted a hand, and with one touch turned me to stone A feeling similar to feeling alone I can make it through And I will make it through But not for you Tonight these feelings die, to grow In to a lesson that'll I'll learn on my own Until I get this inside and out I know I'll make it through But not for you

Worn-down and cold. The ceilings weak, the floors creak but it's home. The scent of loneliness stings. We share closets with skeletons, we're empty, cleared just like the cabinets. We've got no where to go, because we all, we all know. Our fangs and claws, aren't who really are. This cellar's uninspiring, so quick to judge, you're too afraid to sleep. Under shingled skin, the windows and doors are always open Yet nothing comes out, and nothing goes in. Maybe I'm not built to last in a scary place like this. The walls are thin, the oxygen is thick with fear from the furnace Paint the halls with secrets, for all we know they're listening So they can hide like us inside until this house starts to cave in I'm done with emotion. It's been dragging me down. I've lost my sense of trust playing with murders and clowns. If they could see me now, I'd show them all the Knives and tricks that they show'd me To re-think the things that make them happy The clocks are whispering As the walls gently lean in The fire bids farewell to the ember with the willing help from the wind. They carry past the sill, and illuminate once more. A sense of warmth I'll never know until I open this door
