AKANEKO

a burning red torch held high
to the town where you live
blown by the wind, the sun's child dances up
in the starry sky

naive me, cold and unfeeling
that night of betrayal
realizing I’ve been deceived
came way too late

with a gentle breath, you sleep
while you dream
rose patterns on the bedroom curtains
quietly let the light in

when I think of you, a sweet smile
my first love
forgetting the passage of time, I got lost
in the season of beasts

a child, swollen with desire, that’s me
from behind the stairs
life flows down, struck by the moon
painfully intense

with a gentle breath, you sleep
while you dream
rose patterns on the bedroom curtains
quietly let the light in

quietly let the light in, quietly let the light in...
