“Every time it rains I feel my heart begin to ache again but why oh why is that so?”
“When spring turns into summer I can feel my heart turn colder but then why, oh why is that so?”
“When I hear the slightest bit of laughter at the things I do I cry, but why is that so?”
Even though I’m acting so pathetic, will I find somebody sympathetic? Who knows
The word goodbye still fresh in my mind
It tears my heart out slowly inside
The red and pinks that fill up the sky, they set me aglow
Not knowing where I should go
Counsellor, could you give me some advice?
What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
Are you just gonna tell me “everything will be alright”, like I’ll believe that lie? Ah!
It’s not like I don’t want to live another day
I just wanna live without feeling any pain
Looking at the sky, my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
“Every time I lie, it always hurts me deep inside but I still do it, why is that so?”
“The bad will always prosper while the good will always suffer too but why oh why is that so?”
“Mone y can’t buy happiness but happiness costs money, could you tell me why is that so?”
Did we ever realise we bought into this system? And whatever they say goes
The price of ignorance these days
Is so much more than what we can pay
If only life was just a film, directed by him...
Then maybe I’d feel something.
Counsellor, I don’t think I can live this way.
Living on like this only causes me pain
Even the greats couldn’t find a way to fill this hole or make it go away, ah!
All I ever wanted to do is close my eyes
Reaching out my fingertips to the summer skies
Living in the past, my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
A piece devoid of death or any tragedy in it… it won’t sell very well I know
The fact that humans can draw a price on petals that fall, is nothing safe from them anymore
Did you have dreams when you were younger, counsellor?
Was it something that you had to throw away when you got older?
Counsellor, could you give me some advice?
What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?
Saying that I’ll come out stronger after crying’s really such a bullshit lie, ah!
It’s not that I don’t care to live another day
Reality’s just harder to discern out these days
And summer’s just so far away…
So tell me is this really all alright?
Can we live like this for the rest of our life?
Don’t you dare_ tell me that “it’s something only you can make the answer to” alright!?!
Just let me close my eyes, breathe in the summer breeze
Let me feel the wind forever on my cheeks
Looking at the sky my only wish, is it really truly selfish?
Better knowing you my only wish, is it really truly selfish?

I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
