You took a white orchid, turned it blue



Green skies/Brown eyes
Funnel clouds/My thoughts are so
damn
Loud.
Mentor/Protector
Undercover/Lover

You trusted me so easily when you asked me not to ruin your life.
I guess you didn't really leave yourself a choice.
Backed yourself into a corner
pleaded control of my voice.

I liked your accent that you had trained yourself to hide
your tattoos, your sincerity, your honest passion.
Your knowledge, your easy smile, your pride.
The way you seemed like an honest to goodness real man.
A gentleman.



You liked that I made it all so simple.

It can be hard to be near you,
but it's always worse to be apart.

We'll never be you and me
and it breaks my heart.

But near and quiet
is better than far and silent.

Mirror in the sky, what is love?


I've been afraid of changing
cos I built my life around you.
But time makes you bolder
children get older.
I'm getting older, too.

Kuroi Kaiju


At the base of Mt. Fuji there is a Sea of Trees
that has long been associated with death.
In the distant past it was utilized in the practice of ubasute.
But since 1950 more than 500 people
have taken their own lives amongst those trees.
It's said that the forest is so dense that even at mid day
it isn't difficult to find areas completely shrouded in darkness.
Due to the density, which blocks wind flow, and an absence of wildlife,
Aokigahara exists in an eerie silence.
