The melancholy pours in steadily
Enveloping me with a "welcome home"
At the bottom of the gloomy, chilly, empty can
Raindrops patter down, shaking the water's surface
Soaking me in sadness
I'm sure what I saw was a dream too good to be true
Even though it doesn't suit me at all
Ah, that beautiful promise is getting all sodden and wrinkled
Even if I notice my mistakes
I can't possibly go back
So I break down
Why, oh why, did I think
That I could fly?
[3] Since I was so happy
The pain cuts that much deeper
And I realize
My clumsy misunderstandings
It was all an illusion, wasn't it
Sheltering in the depths of my heart
So no one could see me
Not wishing for a single thing
That's how it should have been
I wonder if the fish in the aquarium
Dream of swimming all together
The glass that isolated me wasn't a cage
It protected me from getting hurt, and yet
We weren't supposed to intersect
From the beginning, you and I
That's how it was, and yet
Why, oh why, did we end up, ah
Crossing the boundary line?
From the brightness that suddenly bloomed
The borders grew indistinct
Blurring away
Imperceptible, untouchable
It was all a mirage I dreamt up, wasn't it
Before I could notice
The foam had bubbled up far too much
It disappears without a sound
For only the briefest of moments
I was rocked by a gentle light
It's as if that memory is being scrubbed off in tandem
Before long, it'll fill my lungs up too
In the center of an empty can
I stare at a small sky
