You'll be the last one on my mind, yours is the first one I will find... Turns out it's everything I feared, another night without you here taking what's mine! Be afraid, be very afraid, the ghost is coming back! Glass and the crimson falling down, you raise your eyes and pray for now, turns out it's everything I feared, another night without you here — taking what's mine!

Laying still, in our tiny little room, I feel fulfilled, like I am doing something right, at least I still, I am waiting for the day, you turn away and laugh, was it something that I said? Everybody's rooting for us, but we never last, let's last, at last. For you, I'll play all summer long if I am with you, summer's not that long, and I want you. "Summer's end feels wrong, wish it stretched out infinitely," words you whispered, intimately. Everybody's rooting for us, but we never last, let's last, let's last, at last.

Last time he saw you, knew what to say The words would come his way. You, painted the sunlight, brought out the moonlight. The memories kept that shine, from time to time, to time... Trapped in a circle, not built to endure, the only thing that's sure, he will forget you, he will regret you, every time that he rewinds, rewinds, rewinds... Where should I run to, where should I go? All of these memories fade like snow. I didn't want to, can't let it go, all of these memories melt like snow. I'll come back to you (No you won't...) I won't give in (I think you did...) Just don't forget me (Why'd you leave?) I didn't choose it! (You didn't refuse it, 'cause you didn't think it cost so much.) Well, who's gotta pay? And stay and pay, and stay... Another believer, what a mistake, but you look just like her. I am starting to feel like something's just not right, the moonlight in your eyes, your eyes. Where should I run to, where should I go? All of these memories fade like snow. I didn't want to, can't let it go, all of these memories melt like snow.

Say you love me, say it one more one time, to know that you are mine, the stars cannot outshine. Crimson sunset, painting on the clouds, the canvas screams aloud, the stars will take a bow. Who should I run to, darling? Where should I go? All of these moments fade like snow. Hills of bodies, the skeletons of past, the bones return to ash, lighting up a path, takes me somewhere, I have never been, a solitary spring, flowers bloom, but you don't. Who should I run to, darling? Where should I go? All of these moments fade like snow.

YOU 02:54
don't be cold don't be too kind don't be gone don't be too mine like a wave comes back to sea back to sea, back to sea back to me like a wave, come back to me, back to me, back to me, back to me you're like dawn you're like sunset a perfect morning a perfect night like a rose, unfolds to me, beautifully, unfold for me, like the light falls through the leaves fall for me, fall for me.. hair like strands of golden sunlight dance on pale shoulders that you should disappear some day, that you should become distant and cold.. am I powerless to stop it? what should I do? like a wave comes back to sea back to sea, back to sea back to me like a wave, come back to me, back to me, back to me, back to me like a rose, unfolds to me, beautifully, unfolds for me...

I am in love with this girl she loves the world I am in love with this girl but she loves the world... you were so beautiful (is that what you remember) sitting in front of me (is that the way it was?) I wanna stay with you (you always romanticize) gentle and lovely I wanna hold you close (she doesn't remember you) I wanna hear your laugh (you've got to let her go) float on a cloud with you (admit it...) away from these people calling on and on and on... (you're a coward) I am in love with this girl she loves the world I am in love with this girl but she loves the world... I wanna dance with you (you let your guard down) just be myself with you (I wanna hang around) there's nothing else so true whenever you choose to, wearing a summer dress (twirling round and round and round) wearing a winter coat (if it'll keep you warm) what really matters most is that we love this the words I wanna say wait in a secret place the dream I wanna chase, waiting for your voice I don't want anyone if anyone isn't you saying "I love you, too" saying you love me... oh, she loves the world.. I am in love with this girl, but she loves the world, I am in love with this girl she loves the world I am in love with this girl but she loves the world... where should I run to? where should I go? all of these memories fade like snow... I didn't want to, can't let it go, all of these memories fade like snow...

about

Two young dreamers find themselves unraveling the spell of dreamless consciousness that has been cast on the residents of Sleepless City. Fading between dreamscapes, the last dreamers uncover the truth, that Sleepless City was once a city of dreamers, but for the creature that fell from the sky, and the Mound Maker, who piles high the bodies of the few who still dared to wander into dreaming.
