Living Lament

[Instrumental Intro] [Syncopated guitar] [Cute Higher Register] [Chords: C - G - Am - F] [Verse 1] No matter what I do, it's no good Nothing navigates right Swayed by the subway, I sigh. As I grow, the grief in my heart gathers, It's too heavy. I just want to float freely. [Chords: F - G - Em - Am] [Pre-chorus] Torrential tears aren't tokens of timidity, They're proof that I'm persistently pushing. Even if it's uncool— Even if it's miserable, I want to live "Even though I'm exerting effort." [Chords :C - G - Am - F] [Chorus] Heartless harpoons like harsh knives Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures. Living with lingering lacerations. In an empty expanse, Hugging my hopeless knees alone— I cried out loud in lament. Becoming an adult without genuine glee, Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary. I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently, Someday I'll be rewarded, right? [Break] [Chords: C - G - Am - F] [Verse 2] I can't continue consistently "Anyway, someone like me..." My heart almost hollered many times. "I don't want to lose to anyone" Stretching myself strenuously, Pretending not to perceive the words behind. [Chords: F - G - Em - Am] [Pre-chorus] Torrential tears aren't tokens of timidity, They're proof that I'm persistently pushing. Even if it's uncool— Even if it's miserable, I want to live "Even though I'm exerting effort." [Chords: C - G - Am - F] [Chorus] Heartless harpoons like harsh knives Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures. Living with lingering lacerations. In an empty expanse, Hugging my hopeless knees alone— I cried out loud in lament. Becoming an adult without genuine glee, Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary. I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently, Someday I'll be rewarded, right? [Chords: Am - G - F - G] [Verse 3] I can't continue consistently "Anyway, someone like me..." My heart almost hollered many times "I don't want to lose to anyone" Stretching myself strenuously, Pretending not to perceive the words behind. [Build] [Bridge] Even if I want to end it, The words someone said stick with me "Even someone like me" I want to try my best! [Chords: C - G - Am - F] [Chorus] Heartless harpoons like harsh knives Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures, Living with lingering lacerations. In an empty expanse, Hugging my hopeless knees alone— I cried out loud in lament. Becoming an adult without genuine glee, Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary. I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently, Someday I'll be rewarded, right? [End]
