Shooting Stars
Interlude: Air
Author's notes: So here's what a loser I am ::giggles:: In Remix 6, Ryuichi rambles on about a song called "Air". And because I had nothing better to do, and no particular plans for this interlude other than the fact that it had to exist, I decided, hey, why the heck not? This would be the new single, with the melody that brought back Tohma's music in the last chapter. And then the poetry just grabbed me and took off…
One of these years I need to get off my lazy bum and have these songs arranged and recorded, don't I?
Disclaimer: My lyrics. Yes, that's right. Mine. I disclaim nothing. Take and die.
Air
Cold lips, cold hands, cold eyes, cold mind,
I feel you leaving me behind,
And even while you hold me now
I always feel alone somehow.
We're walking on air, don't look down,
Don't look down, don't look down…
Hold your breath a little while,
Just let me breathe you in.
In the dark your sudden silence
Fits me like a second skin.
But that's all right, I know your mind
And the secrets that it hides;
It only hurts a little while
And they say pain purifies.
You're letting go of letting go,
I'm letting go of all.
So let those things all fall away
But please don't watch them fall…
Cold lips, cold hands, cold eyes, cold mind,
I feel you leaving me behind,
And even while you hold me now
I always feel alone somehow.
We're walking on air, don't look down,
Don't look down, don't look down…
I'll hold on to your clarity
And bleed away your doubt;
A little hope can't hurt too much,
I've always had to go without…
Cold lips, cold hands, cold eyes, cold mind,
I feel you leaving me behind,
And even while you hold me now
I always feel alone somehow.
We're walking on air, don't look down,
Don't look down, don't look down…
It's kind of like holding on
To something that isn't there,
It's kind of like living in dreams,
A little like walking on air…
