'Lhasa' album

Lyrics: Taka, Music: Shuse

On TV all the hypocrites exchange handshakes
my rotten black stomach is tied into knots
at some point the red moon moistened my cheek
in a shadow so sweet it was eerie I was sighing

In this city everyone catching the sickness of fame
coordinating with the same face COPY DOLL
starting to search for the elixir of eternal life
swept off my feet by the expressionless flow of time

In the reverberation of loneliness I'm dancing too
this way of life through the seasons worries me

Dyeing cherry blossoms silver, dyeing
if snow falls thickly in shining eternity, eternity

People change with the seasons
If I could feel the Spring winds forever & ever
My ideal world would come to me
But the times won't allow this to happen

Terebi no naka gizenshatachi akushu wo kawashi
kusari kitta kuroi hara de musubarete iru
itsu no ma ni ka akai tsuki ga hoho wo nurashite
bukimi na hodo amai kage de iki wo shite ita

Kono machi dewa daremo ga yuumeibyou kakari
onaji kao de kodeineto COPY DOLL
furoufushi no nomi kusuri wo motome hajimeru
toki no nagare muhyoujyou ashimoto sukuu

Kodoku no yoin no naka boku mo odotte iru yo
shunkashuutou no ikikata fuan kanjite

Sakura no hanabira wo giniro ni someru someru
yuki ga furitsumoreba kagayaku eien ni eien ni

TVの中　偽善者達　握手を交わし
腐りきった　黒い腹で結ばれている
いつの間にか赤い月が頬をぬらして
不気味な程　甘い影で　息をしていた

この街では　誰もが　有名病かかり
同じ顔でコーディネート　COPY DOLL
不老不死の飲み薬を求め始める
時の流れ無表情に　足元すくう

孤独の余韻のなか　僕も踊っているよ
春夏秋冬の生き方　不安かんじて

桜の花びらを銀色に染める　染める
雪が降りつもれば　かがやく　永遠に　永遠に

People change with the seasons
If I could feel the Spring winds forever & ever
My ideal world would come to me
But the times won't allow this to happen
