Tea With a Mad Girl

There once was a girl, so they say
Who preferred women to men anyday
Her parents got mad
They said she was bad
She said “I’m not bad, I’m just gay.”

[kanji/kana]

はるか昔のことなのでよく覚えていません
手伝っていただけたら、ありがたいです
あきらめが肝心です
きょおは波が荒い
波が岸おあらって射る
あんな所で遊んは危ないな

[romanji]

Haruka mukashi no koto na no de yoku oboete imasen
Tetsudatte itadaketara, arigatai desu
Akirame ga kanjin desu
Kyoo wa nami ga arai
Nami ga kishi o aratte iru
Anna tokoro de asonde wa abunai na

[english]

It happened long ago, I do not remember it clearly
I would be grateful if you helped me
We should know when to give up
The sea is rough today
The waves crash upon the shore
It is dangerous to walk in such a place

*just a note: my japanese is horrible. I would never have accomplished this without my handy-dandy dictionary

obsidian, pure dark
please don’t leave me alone
for to see things clearly
is the power of this stone
the truth is a dagger
in a songwriter’s heart
exposes rare beauty
then tears the place apart
and we don’t like to hear
the words that bring pain
because then we repeat them
just to hear them again
we cry when it hurts
but the pain stays the same
growing and throbbing
so we all go insane

forced to leave her world of pez and pixie stix
forced into the world of jaw breakers
her dreams are too soft for reality
but she still wants to try
and she wants to be a hero
so she brings her guitar
a true song comes from her heart
too quiet to be heard

she’s a bright young star
no intentions of falling
a bright you star
see how she glows
in the dark blue night
now her dreams are all drowning
did you break her heart?

he didn’t share her dream
now he’s gone
left alone with her fear
she tries again
sorrow shakes her voice
anger rips words from her soul
it comes out of her throat
as sweet, sweet rock ‘n’ roll

she’s a bright young star
no intentions of falling
a bright you star
see how she glows
in the dark blue night
now her dreams are all drowning
did you break her heart?

still she sings
sweet sad sparrow
locked in a cage of unhearing ears
the music pours from her broken heart
but broken music doesn’t sell
and too soon her life will end
too much like her songs
a waste of breath

did you break her heart?
her brightness falters

she’s a fallen star

the wind blows chilly
across the nothern plains
but my heart was frozen long before

I had no fear
but you
you are my undoing

what could be wrong with me
why must I always fall
for the fallen angel

my tongue lusts for the taste
of forbidden fruit
just one last chance?

あなたのきせき

I can feel the change in me
now I’m someone new
or maybe it’s all the same

天使の声

you echo in my ears
how I miss you
you laughter is so pale

愛してる

this path is dangerous
the ice is thin
return me to my icy coffin

it’s a time of silent anger
with pain and tears
unspoken fears

it’s a life that has been stolen
no words to say
kneel down and pray

it’s a heart that will be broken
I’m not afraid
of trust mislaid

it’s the end of all that matters
meaningless cares
nobody dares

under the sky
our paths are worn
and children cry
the day they’re born

under the sky
our paths lead
flowers don’t hate
do they bleed?

the chewed on remains of a paper clip
voices of children outweigh the plastic prince in my ears
grade nine beauty queens still learning the ropes
watching as the leaves race past the window
me, the goth prince for my pants
