《Mono No Aware》(物哀)-楚山
作词:MOMOKA
作曲:MOMOKA
Shadows on the glass
Smoke around my boots
City trying to sleep
But I'm pulling up the roots
Silver in my hair
But the fire's burning gold
Every secret that I keep
Is a story left untold
Sister in the wind
Mother in the dust
Every neon sign flicker
Saying I'm the one to trust
Walking on the wire
While the system falls apart
Every smile that I fake
Covers up a heavy heart
Hunters on the prowl
Sirens getting loud
Look up at the moon
But it's hiding in the cloud
Who saves the rebel
When her hands shake
Who holds the line
When the shields break
I tie up my boots
On these cold blocks
If I ever miss
Then the whole clock stops
I carry the weight of the city on a razor's edge
Whole world pushing on a promise that I won't pledge
If I step back, who gon' fight 'em when they breach the wall
So I hold tight, move quiet, gotta stand tall
Got the paint on my face, but I'm see-through
Every scar, every spark, yeah, I feel you
In the dark I remember what she said to me:
"With the fire that you got, girl, you better be"
Better be a fighter
Walk light, but the boots hit heavier
Pulse spikes when I cross that barrier
Too deep, but the stakes get higher
Voices in my head set fires, like:
"You ain't nothing but a ghost in the frame
One wrong step and they erase your name"
Still, I strike first, never back down
Turn my panic into power when I take the town
Every shadow just a mirror of the path I chose
See the same cold truth in the friends and foes
Every time I pin 'em to the concrete floor
Feel my own soul knocking on a locked-up door
Got a past that I burned for the life I picked
Love that I lost so the code don't stick
Can't save us both, so I cut the wire
Now my heart just beats to the rhythm of the fire
I carry the weight of the city on a razor's edge
Whole world pushing on a promise that I won't pledge
If I step back, who gon' fight 'em when they breach the wall
So I hold tight, move quiet, gotta stand tall
Got the paint on my face, but I'm see-through
Every scar, every spark, yeah, I feel you
In the dark I remember what she said to me:
"With the fire that you got, girl, you better be"
Better be a fighter
Smoke in my eyes, sirens sing my name
Every choice cuts deep like a broken chain
If I save you, I might lose me
If I save me, you might lose peace
So I run into the flash and the heavy mist
Heart heavy but I'll never drop the fist
If my back hit the wall and my lungs give
Let 'em write on my stone what I once did:
"I carried the weight of the city on a razor's edge
Whole world pushing on a promise that I wouldn't pledge
I ain't step back, I was there when they breached the wall
Held the line, moved quiet, I was standing tall"
Got the paint on my face, but I'm see-through
Every scar, every spark, yeah, I feel you
In the dark I remember what she said to me:
"With the fire that you got, girl, you better be"
Better be a fighter
Better be a fighter
