Don't breathe, just close your eyes
Let's just entrust ourselves to the flow.


What they say about us doesn’t matter. It’s not really like that.
Don’t believe all the tales I’ve told.
Don’t worry. Don’t hesitate.
Trust me, love me, let me kiss you.
Let this moment be the first, the last, the only, if you want it to be.
Hold my hand; you’ll never drown.
Time keeps moving but there’s no need to fear.

swaying and sinking
in the pull of the blue moon.


Nothing is perfection, and we’re taking on water,
But it’s just this once, once in so long, and this tear will mend.

It's like I'm being gently hit by a wave
that's ah...like a cradle.


And I realize more now than I could before just what this means.
It soothes what it burns.

I float in cosmos for the place to return
living or dying there is no meaning.


If it fades, may I fade with it;
And regret what I don’t, and fail…

there is nothing no past no future
nor is anyone here, I'm not even alone.


Transcendence.

the sky melts into my heart
ah... at last they've become one.


I can accept anything if I know it was right.

I float in cosmos for the place to return
living or dying there is no meaning.


If it was meant to be this way, if it was fate, if it was destined, if it was better.

I float in cosmos for the place to return
living or dying there is no meaning.


Passion and apathy merge as one—separating oil from water.

I float in cosmos for the place to return
sacred love for you there is no meaning.


Transcend.

This was wonderful! I imagined tetsu as the pairing ^^ This line really stuck with me: "I can accept anything if I know it was right."
