Why 03:34
Running in the same damn circles That I’ve been in a million times Something wrong with the way I do it ‘Cause I want to shine But I’m fading to nothing Boy, don’t you play too long Everybody knows what’s going on No time to lose I know my heart is true Give me anybody to show it to I’m bleeding, bleeding And I wonder Why, why, why Why can’t I find anybody? Why, why, why I’m searching every avenue For the light that’s alive in the shadows Why is it so hard To find another soul On this road Boy, don’t you go too far You are still a man beneath the stars I know what I gotta do Mmm, yes you’re feeling pain So is everybody don’t feel ashamed I’m bleeding, bleeding, bleeding And I wonder Why, why, why Why can’t I find anybody Why, why, why Maybe I should open my eyes to you I’ve been searching But I haven’t found you I’m in a freefall Coming down, down, down, down I don’t know the way I don’t know how deep to go Night is everyday I don’t know me anymore

Don't Forget 04:51
Do you want to make it right Want to make it something Before you leave tonight Leave tonight Look at you A beautiful disaster A runny makeup breakdown Tears are falling fast And we’re falling faster Yeah Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling I didn’t write the rules But I know when the love is gone You gotta say so long And sometimes the only thing to do is move on So [Chorus] Don’t forget your love for me Don’t forget this melody After breakup breakdown You gotta know It was that sweet Don’t forget the light that shone Don’t forget it shone so long Who can explain the reasons Love was here But now it’s gone Yeah Desperately I’ve looked into your eyes Searching for the traces Of days long behind Long behind Surely there’s gotta be a way That we can make it happen, baby Yeah Like yesterday Yesterday Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling, falling Falling, falling, falling I didn’t write the rules But I know when the love is gone You gotta say so long And sometimes the only thing to do is move on So I wanna say [Chorus] I know there’s things that we never said I probably passed a couple signs that I should’ve read We had the love, but the bond wasn’t strong I wonder sometimes what we really did wrong I really wonder sometimes [Chorus] Don’t forget your love And I’ll never forget my love for you Don’t forget my love Baby, don’t forget my love for you

Walking in the pouring rain Comin up to August 1st again I tried to hide with another But I could never get you out of my head No, no From my point of view I don't have a clue While everybody’s gettin' busy spreadin sugar I just think about you Yes I do Hope you're stayin' out of trouble ‘Cause those other guys ain't even off the ground But if you go for another I will try to get you out of my head Though I'd rather be dead Am I out of my head Am I out of my head Am I out of my head Let me out of my head Can you understand, Are you listening to me? Can you understand, I can not keep you in my plans Oh People sing it one more time For me yeah Am I out of my head Am I out of my head Am I out of my head Let me out of my head

Grey 04:24
Me and the sky We’ve been up all night just talking Made up our minds You can’t cry if the rain is falling Falling down Getting sad’s so easy when you’re happy So I just ride On the middle line I got burned, but I think I’m gonna drown Is anybody gonna find me now? And I break my mind On just about everything I’m overcast I think I need a brief hiatus Move to Japan And hide in the blue hydrangeas 紫陽花   People talk about love like it’s so vital But I’ll be fine At the finish line Looking up, but there’s evil on the ground Is anybody gonna save me now? And I’m losing time I wonder if I’m okay And I wake up every morning With the Moon still in my head Twin wings So fly But I never know which one’s mine

I Know 04:42
Low to the ground Coming down from my last crescendo Now I don’t make a sound Guess I’ll climb into my Nintendo Boy from the woods File 1 and when I was younger It was green neighbourhoods Now I’m stuck in a empty slumber What does everybody do about their pain Do they just drink it away? I don’t wanna play like that Heart rate flat I want to feel the sunshine and the rain Speedy people on the freeway I wonder what comes after Friday Is there somewhere new you’re rushing to? [Chorus] And the shower is the only place shit’s making sense anymore I can’t pretend anymore When the water comes pouring down I’m not alone Even though I’m alone I know Drowning in my head But my face a cracking dam So if you look into my eyes You will see the raging ocean One in a crowd (They don’t see me) Everyone with their own agenda But my eyes reach out (Eyes reach out) For the tenderness I live without What does everybody do about their pain Do they just blow it away? I don’t wanna die like that Chick-boom-splat I want to feel the sunshine and the rain Steely skies arise in my brain I’m not sad, I’m feeling the same Sometimes it’d be nice to feel the blue [Chorus] I know I’m too afraid to give away the key To open the door that leads to me But there’s things that you will never see They’ll remain between just me and the trees ‘Cause there’s times when I just need to be alone [Chorus] Why can’t I do it alone? It’s got me feeling like a man of stone I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know I know, I know

I’m standing in my shadow And all of the players are gone It’s not the life I wanted Young passion blazing fast I thought that it always would last But now my candle’s burning low (You’ve got the world to discover) What did I know? The demon in the dark don’t keep me company anymore Always looking in too deep I just wanna get some sleep Maybe this time I’ll end this endless night [Chorus] I’m falling From the good light above (Someone help me, ‘cause I can’t see) Sometimes I feel like I’m giving it up going down These voices never stop (Well do you want it or not?) I’ve got to empty my brain (Reach out to other people) But then I just run it right back To everything that I’ve gotten to know so well (Sing) Always thinking way too hard Why is everything so dark? Something inside Is tearing me apart [Chorus] Lost in the Dark I know I’m lonely Silly fox got lost in the dark (Oh oh ohh) I’ve been here too long I can’t even write a song I don’t wanna be alone Yeah

Can I Love 05:02
I cut a hole in my membrane And sealed it up on the same day And oh my God, oh my God, oh my God Will I get it open again? I shine my shell I clean my cell Is it day or night? I can never tell But the demon in the dark has a lot That he’s always trying to say He wanna say If knowledge is the answer Then show me to the temple And open the page That’ll prove it right [Chorus] Can I love again Can I love enough Can I love again Can I love It’s really not a mystery Thinking how I came to be A Shadow Man with his head in the sand But it cuts me open the same Along that road To find my own I was too caught up Now I’m all alone And the demon in the dark hangs around ‘Cause he only wants me to stay Stay Sometimes I can get out from under the illusion Yeah I see people walking hand in hand I don’t understand (Set me free) What if love is the answer While I’ve been looking in the shadows Have I gone too far Or am I just in time? [Chorus] Take me up to the light Take me up to the light Take me up to the light Let me see you child And I don’t understand Why I don’t understand love Can I love

Shadow Man 04:56
There’s a fox standing still Over by the treeline White eyes in the black Red stars in a dark sky Smiling like a thief It’s so familiar to me There’s a shadow in the dark And it has my name And all these empty road look the same Whispers coming from the trees Just behind the leaves And they talk about me [Chorus] Somewhere between night and day Winter and spring I keep on waiting for the stars to bring Something I’ve never seen before I guess I gotta walk out the door Wise words fall from the page Into pools of ink Shadows of my sentence Self-imposed, that I know But something’s waiting for me Here in the Shadow Dome 狐の声が呼んでいる I wonder what he wants me to do 僕の光がもうすぐ消えるよ Yet here I am [Chorus] The Shadow Man lives in my room He walks in my shoes and takes my time Opens my mind but clings to my soul He’s in control I see him walking in the night under my streetlight With a book in his hand I wonder when I leave Does he really understand That I’ve got to tend to both sides of the man

about

YAMI

//The story of the Long Night//

After The Alone Experience, Kitsuna finds himself in a dark realm overgrown with a dense forest whose trees have sprouted from his own insecurities and fears. A mask crystallizes over his face as he wanders beneath the dark treetops, the black and red sky carrying the low-moaning wind toward a shrouded horizon. In this place dawn has forgotten, Kitsuna tarries through a forest his own loneliness and searching has created, ever hoping to find a way out of the Long Night.
