𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞

A backpacker, who is searching for something missing​,
flew into a rage yet again​
 
​​​Even if I were to get hopeful over sudden happenings​
you wouldn't appear at all​
 
"Bibbidi Bobbide Bouー"
Reciting it just like a spell,​
But I'm still anxiously waiting for its return​
 
Yet again those emotions escaped me​
It isn't this, nor that. This is just making me more impatient
All I wanted was a hand next to me to hold​
because I don't know the warmth of it at all​
 
This poverty have reached my heart​
while wandering around the gray sea​
The beauty of it is overflowing​
Do not overlook it​
 
Tonight, ​before tomorrow comes, sober up
You're running out of time
I want to be blinded​ from this dull today​
and go beyond it​
 
Surely your voice has yet to hit and make all these thoughts go away
until I get overcome with unsteadiness
For both of us, to forget that is unforgivable.
As long as you don’t ever stop thinking of it
 
The Mad Hatter that dances at midnight​
vanishes before you could say a thing​
 
Even if I were to lower my expectations​
You wouldn't appear at all​
 
Crying in the gap between reality​
My stomach being torn apart with this thought​
The thorns of the words I've gulped down stab me​
 
Only that absurdity was leftover​
My favorite cutlery seems to only bring bliss
Everyone was gathering around the table​
just to thrust forward the knife​
 
while tearing out your adam's apple​
I wet the tips of my fingers​
How to use a fork​
No one has ever taught me
 
Do not try to look at the truth​
Measuring the weight of life
In that wavering bonfire,​
what did you see?
 
Tonight, ​​before tomorrow comes, sober up
You're running out of time
I want to be blinded from this dull today​
and go beyond it​
 
Surely, my voice has yet to hit and make all these thoughts go away
Until I get overcome with unsteadiness
For both of us, to forget that is unforgivable.
As long as you don’t ever stop thinking of it
 
Find me,​ before I eat myself​
