Present

Oleh : Juju

Tonight, I'm letting the
decorative lights solemnly shine
I feel like I have to be here
Avoiding that beautiful path

I took your kindness in one hand
And turned my eyes away from the visible pain
The present without you has reached here
In this small box

I'm unfastening my tied-down heart
I'm peeling off the enveloping sadness
The "now" I'm beginning to see
is a present from the past

On the opposite side of a warm meal
With a smirk, I smile back at you
The wavering light of that day shined
Am I standing in the future?

Are these warped lenses
making the world seem rotten?
You're running away from your own glares
Who is the coward?

My thinning hopes are still small
But if there's a trace of light
I'll grasp the fate before my eyes
And I'll change the future

What the hell is right
with the broken scales of happiness
There's no means in an era where
"Is there any help?" is echoed
Scratch your chest
And yet there might be people who will reach their hand out

I'm unfastening my tied-down heart
I'm peeling off the enveloping sadness
The "now" I'm beginning to see
is a present from the past

My thinning hopes are still small
But if there's a trace of light
I'll grasp the fate before my eyes
And I'll change the future
