[MV] end of a life - Calliope Mori (Original Song)

[00:02.46] We’d run right through those nights

[00:10.46] I’ll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights

[00:14.45] There was madness In the meaning, never laughless

[00:18.22] We were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[00:21.72] This city never died.

[00:24.96] I’ll fly, no proof, those heights

[00:28.97] I’ll never find another chance to say “hey, thanks for saving my life”

[00:35.69] I was hopeless, it was stinging, running roadless

[00:39.46] We were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[00:42.47] This city never died.

[00:46.96] What was the root of it all? … I couldn’t say.

[00:49.22] Used to jump and then fall, rugged and cliched.

[00:52.23] Would shrug it off without complaint, not a sound

[00:54.70] No use in trying to find friends, cuz in the end nobody sticks around

[00:57.71] It’s when you shoved yourself into a crowded place

[00:59.71] That you turned around and found yourself in love in outer space

[01:02.21] Cue the reckless nights, no strings, laughing at our own dreams…

[01:04.96] Just what the hell was so funny?

[01:07.96] Bark up the wrong tree, stumble, used to falling great heights

[01:10.20] Amidst a concrete jungle, singing cuz it felt right

[01:12.95] We mixed the ennui and troubles, rhyming our discontent

[01:15.74] And though it’s history, I can’t forget the time that we spent

[01:18.46] Convinced that this could mean another end, exists between real and pretend

[01:21.21] A twisted alter-fiction where I missed my chance, did not ascend and

[01:23.98] Disappearing into the mist of “never happened”

[01:26.46] Is the me that I can never befriend.

[01:28.24] … I let it go.

[01:29.45] Fade in, fade out

[01:32.94] This crazy dream

[01:35.71] Without a direction, floating aimlessly

[01:40.98] There’s nothing left back there for me

[01:46.45] Breathe in, but it won’t stop the rain from pouring

[01:50.71] We’d run right through those nights

[01:56.95] I’ll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights

[02:00.98] There was madness in the meaning, never laughless

[02:04.69] We were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[02:07.95] This city never died.

[02:09.95] But was there ever a soul inside?

[02:12.71] Chasing fireflies between the soaring high-rises

[02:14.96] Left a trail behind, defined it “wasted time of our lives”

[02:17.50] Silent singer, overworked and underpaid

[02:19.45] Thinks an office is a coffin until off is where you’re laid

[02:22.21] Yet a thought persists, an optimist who ought to be afraid

[02:24.46] Saw the “nothing wrong” in writing songs behind the lonely shade

[02:27.18] Is the world a sadder place without the words that you conveyed?

[02:29.95] When the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played?

[02:32.95] Does it matter in the end the sound diminished and decayed

[02:35.52] And your friends grew tired of fantasy, you’re wishing they had stayed?

[02:38.20] You don’t get to say “I miss you”, you watched your heroes fade

[02:40.70] Into the rear view-mirror of the villain you portrayed

[02:43.67] Stop the pity party, listen, you don’t get to be dismayed

[02:46.19] You don’t get to be emotional, feel blessed you got it made

[02:48.69] These the best of years of life because you chose to make a trade

[02:51.44] Recollect the days you hoped and you prayed for this

[02:53.68] What is there to miss?

[02:55.44] Fade in, fade out

[02:58.18] This hazy dream

[03:00.95] Without a direction, roaming aimlessly

[03:06.18] There’s nothing left back there for me

[03:11.43] Pretend it’s the end of a made up story

[03:15.95] I’ll fly, no proof, those heights

[03:22.19] I’ll never find another chance to say “hey, thanks for saving my life”

[03:26.21] I was hopeless, it was stinging, driving roadless

[03:30.42] We were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[03:33.19] This city never died.

[03:35.45] I’ll say goodbye to the soul inside

[03:37.69] And yet somehow, there was romance in our self-hate

[03:40.98] “We’ve got no chance” in this light maze

[03:43.19] But let’s hold hands through the night haze

[03:45.93] We’ll run so fast ’til the school chime, ’til the train runs

[03:49.94] We know it’s time, we’re the sane ones

[03:52.69] Waking up now to the “real life”

[03:55.45] Let me daydream ’til the next night

[03:57.95] I’ll keep waiting

[04:02.69] I’ll keep waiting for you

[04:30.97] Waking up now to my real life

[04:32.93] Let me daydream ’til the next flight

[04:35.20] Drowning so long, I got older

[04:37.93] Now the crowd’s gone

[04:39.43] Is it over?

[04:41.19] Is it over…?
