Lightning Pulse

You look satisfied in the kinetic heat
Glistening skin pulling the late night on
The current dragging up my spine
Renew my static drive

Your body thunders through my core
Our pounding hearts urging for it now
In you
Through me
I need to feel the lightning

Thick auras under a spell of finality

-Joshua-
Chanted between each heavy breath
Summoned with a yearning finger
For the sweetest honey

Give in, give now
It’s over when it’s over

Your body can’t resist the vibration high
Quivering wet lips sign the time
In you
Through me
I need to feel your pulse

Repose to sultry frailty
Soothed by a last release
In you
Through me
I feel your lightning pulse

I need your lightning pulse

I need your lightning pulse

I felt the shift and knew the time had come
Hell was in your stare, unwilling to give me to damnation
Show me the signs missed, gone ignored for the last time
Because it is better to have loved than never at all

Why is it fading? Is this story about finished?
How can I see so clearly now when you're gone?
You reciprocate a numbness to the touch
And I remain sullied in love's unmistakable disgust

The last drop of everything I want, just a taste...
A moon with a light all its own, how I envied you to death
The open door still swinging in the past
Still chasing a memory I cannot let go

You still thought of the fool waiting on your smile
Patiently waiting on your shadow to pass by once more
Wanting to hold you one more time

The one thing I vie for, to hold you in the twilight hours
A lonely wind traveling adrift, I wish away those pointless mistakes
You step back through the threshold in tranquil calm
I don't remember letting go, I cannot remember how the day ended

-Nanashi-

Better to keep the anguish as a dormant seething
I can never hurt you with what really matters
Passing over happiness and nights spent in tears
Nothing kills me more than being dead inside

Would you call when all seems lost?
Craving affections as if it were life, sustenance
Your arms dangle from the barbwire cross
As martyred dreams drip from your palms

Relinquish secrets come as an insurmountable downpour
I catch them in my wide eyes, setting them free and left unsaid
Readying the noose of sacrifice for the willing

Ignore the whispers of the world, claim thy identity
Open gates of awareness, embrace thy true self
Leave the scarred vessel in the depths of reality

Better to live this moment than remain bridled to death
Your happiness was only a shadow, you still smiled for me
I will be with you through it all
Bearing my goodbye kiss as we depart
Night returns rest to your sleepless sorrows

-Joshua-

Looking right through without a second glance
Reflecting the emptiness inside, so I drew a heart
Maybe you could see me then and now I'm alive
If that's just an illusion, I at least want to be

The shadow lost in the crowd
I can't find you
Holding onto the nights you were next to me
Even though I know they had never been

Bold enough to reach for your firm hand
I slipped straight through and lost control
You might have stopped had I called out
My extended, ravaged arm is the only scream I can make

Out of sight and out of mind
Left on the outskirts of your peripheral view
Who will eventually vanish?

The ghost of my lingering sentiments
I can't find you
Wanting those nights you were near to me
Even though I know they can never be

The shadow lost in the crowd
I can't find you
Holding onto the nights you were next to me
Even though I know they had never been

-Joshua & Nanashi-

I am still breathing inside my wrecked soul
There is just enough room to write this letter
Yet without words in which to say to you

The present hold you, not the past
Live for today and believe in tomorrow
A rainbow hid in the shroud of the storm
I could not wait, see it for me...drop the blade

You are still grieving with a broken soul
Holding yourself together only barely
Till not even you recognize what is left

Pain and gray will bring the rain
I only see red but it's enough
To let it all out this way

The present holds you, not the past
Live for today and believe in tomorrow
A rainbow hid in the shroud of the storm
I could not see, remember for me...wipe your eyes

Let the ink dry in this pen grown cold
With permanent love and smile
Unaging with words of devotion

Pain and gray will bring the rain
I only see red but it is enough
To pain the colour of your hear

I am still breathing...for you
Just enough to say...your name

-Joshua-

Awakening in the constant dream of reality
The rain flutters into your hand like azure snow
A world alight, floating on a single thought
While your heart overflows and close to breaking

With the love conceived, the gap is merged
Our fears purged in the fire of your zealous desire
As my wish falls on your cherry blossom lips
We did not notice our waltz on the sky's edge

Remember never to forsake
My love will be for thee
I will remember nothing can take this away
I will remember it and this day
Dreaming of you

Drowning in a spiraling galaxy of monochrome
Longing for a kindred touch
So we wait for the dream to seep into reality...
And you...to be real as my dreams...

Forget yesterday's mistakes
Your love is enough for me
I will remember nothing can take this away
I will remember it and this day
Dreaming of you

Forget yesterday's mistakes
Your love is enough for me
I will remember nothing can take this away
I will remember it and this day
Dreaming of you

-Joshua-

Guarda a me per la vostra sicurezza e la roccaforte
Ascolta come saggezza e la compassione riempire le orecchie
Raggiungi e so che sono qui, vicino al tuo cuore
Dolci baci lì, disteso a riposare e sognare,
Agapito

Ti guardo crescere in fretta, come le pagine di accendere i venti del tempo
Le voci del passato sono pieni di risate
Ora mi arrivare fino a voi in punta di piedi
Miele di primavera sulle nostre lingue come abbiamo swing alla luce del sole
Amato

Non sempre la danza come questo
Alla fine, anche io devo abbraccio che il sonno
Sarete nei miei sogni quel momento in poi,
Il mio bambino

Guarda a me per la vostra sicurezza e la roccaforte
Ascolta come saggezza e la compassione riempire la tua anima
Raggiungi e so che sono qui, vicino al tuo cuore
Dolci baci lì, disteso a riposare e sognare,
Agapito

Kyacchi yuuga sa to samui no kan
Aa, kono shinjin fukai, nazo mei ta jittai ha nani desu ka?
Ai ha, sore ha watashi ga shitte iru to negate I masu yuiitsu no busshitsu de aru
Anata ha, watashi no hisan sa o rikai suru hitsuyou ga ari masu ka baka no furi?

Caught between elegance and chivalry
Ah, what is this pious, enigmatic entity?
Love, it is the only substance I know and hope to have
You must understand my misery so why the pretense of daft?

Genjitsu no utsukushi sa to waisetsu to funmatsu no sakusei
Watashi ha kono shikku na, watashi no fuan to matomo na you ni doresuappu
Ai ha, hotondo no shin no…anata nashi de sa reru koto ha ari mase n to
Watashi ni mokuteki o ataeru

Creation of a reality powdered with beauty and obscenity
I only dress this chic to be decent with my insecurities
Give me purpose with love most true...You will never be without

Musume ha jigoku ni umare, houki
Aa, aijou to houkou to shawa
Maa, kono you na roji no kuchibiru kara hatsuwa…
Koto ha kakushin no kokoro no direness de watashi o shippai

Daughter born into perdition and abandon
Ah, showering you with affection and direction
Dear, an utterance from such rosy lips...
Words fail in the direness of a crux heart

Anata ha unmei ni kousoku sa reru unmei no ito o hodoku koto ha deki masu ka?
Watashi ha ao no nyuuwa no kamen geki no iroai o tsutaeru
Ai ha, hotondo no shin no…anata nashi de sa reru koto ha ari mase n to

Can you untie my threads of fate bound by destiny?
I only convey a meekness masked shades of blue
Give me purpose with love most true...You will never be without

Genjitsu no utsukushi sa to waisetsu to funmatsu no sakusei
To watashi ni mokuteki o atae te…anata nashi de sa reru koto ari mase n
Itoshi te pokanto shi te

Creation of a reality powdered with beauty and obscenity
Give me purpose with agape love...You will never be without

-Nanashi-

The stars out of touch continue their mockery
Marking that point in our lives like an anniversary
Ingrained in me, my throat as I repeat your name

Remember how the full moon unfolded
I held on pathetically until it crumbled to dust
Wishing that you did not have to leave
But you left saying, "Do you think that we could ever be?"

Let the sea flow back to the sky and the clouds obscure it all
I can't seem to escape that still frame in my mind
Tossing and turning at the stars' endless laughter

The reels replay how we met on that crowded street
Always in the end, you killed me with those final words
The wheels stopped long enough for me to see the colour of your eyes
Restrained in me, my heart aches whenever I see it

Let the sea flow back to the sky and the clouds obscure it all
I can't seem to escape that still frame in my mind
Tossing and turning at the stars' endless laughter

Emerald dancers waver below embers of topaz
Everything changed when you took with you your brilliant blue
We don't remember, but we vowed never to forget

I lie here believing in the frailty that overcomes me
What did I wake up for, were you waiting for me?
No matter how used to the dark I get your intentions are still unclear
Your eyes glow now, set up me and my body fails once again...
As my voices starts to leave me I repeat what I hoped would reach you

Your strange love no longer holds me, I am already hiding within the shell
I dreamed I was standing in a field of chrysanthemum and could not find you
Smiling while tears ran down my cheeks, what is this loneliness I feel?
No longer able to trust myself with the smallest emotion
I scream that cursed prayer into the stained sky with all my might

Why have you come this time with only the shadows?
Come to take back the memories that continually drag me down?
Why do you speak so gently with a fire in your eyes?
Will you deliver me to a paradise empty as I am?

Why have you come this night with only your twisted affection?
Can you stop the bleeding that began the day I lost feeling?
Why do you run your icy daggers through my hair so tenderly?
Will I go to that place in my dreams without your memory?

Your eyes see what is left after the numbing ache takes over
No longer trusting the one I knew will return from the abyss

Why have you made me as void as you?
Will you drain me finally of what is barely living?
Why do I let you bring me back each time I try to run?
Will I see the light which eludes me every time?

Why can't I embrace the sun and return this coil to dust?
Can you give birth again and remember I am not yet dead?
Why is it I hate to love, laugh? Why enjoy the pain, rain forever falling
Can I be loved so deeply that I could never dare escape?

-Nanashi & Senza-

I have somehow become transparent, all my pretenses you see
Languishing often in remembrance, still hard to deny
Where am I going?

Regret has slated these long alleyways
Forgetting to trace my way back
Have I strayed so far from the path?

Never too far from your intricacies, never without a clue
Revealing a fond memory embedded on the piazza's stairs
Only in the scowling noon, covered as the city's shadows come to rest

I find your remnants along this weary road
Remembering how you held me many times
Where were you going?

You have somehow become transparent, all your oaths silenced
Lamenting daily in recollection, still hard to know
Where have you gone?

Never too far from your intricacies, never without a clue
Revealing a lost memory paved underfoot along the empty streets
I carry you on, until the day I am next to you

Still far apart but, never far from you...

-Nanashi-
