about

In memory of Madam Masako - who had bravely fought against cancer until this past April.

"Masako was the warmest person I had known - but she's forever gone. That was when I realized there's never enough time to spend with the ones we love the most."

lyrics

Everyone’s born
From darkness - total black
Walking through the tunnels of light
Since a cry in a pair of hands

We end up back in black
With a sleeping face decaying
Friends are few that still remain
Other than the ones in caskets

I’m sitting here blankly
On this hospital bed that sinks
And hon, I’m watching liquids fall
Into your bones through your skins

And you weakly hold my hand
Telling me I’ve got you enough
And let you laugh
Till away you’ll pass

Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you

If life’s a journey
On a train that goes somewhere
I scan through window panes on my shoulder
Where changing sceneries blur

When there’s no rail ahead
Has the train a terminal?
And on the quay the bells will toll
“It’s the place one must get off”

Doctor alluded
Showing me a calendar
So while confided are your mistakes
They stop mattering more

When a song is gonna end
So is sweetest music you lived
It pains to sit
Or defend
Or accept it

Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you -

Flipped through
Till there ain't pages to turn
With heaven beams I pray
You be reborn

God bless us
To be travellers in our own vessels

To love and be loved
To live and be survived

If you are the truth
To remember
I won’t forget -

Any music in you touches my heart
Any gift from you brims my soul
Any confession of you makes me crying
Every moment with you
Every moment with you
