X Japan Lyrics

I hear a knock on the door

You whisper in my ear

A dull-colored portrait

Reflecting the memories that have been cut up

The hateful black heart blooms wildly

Getting close to my heart

Sharpened fleeting emotions

In the crowd of people

Amidst the hysterical, rustling sound of the wind

I hold the unstoppable tears

Embracing the color of loneliness

I've nothing to lose except your heart

Blood flowing down my wrist, I entangle it in your body

Within a moment, it recalls memories

With sight obscured by revived memories, I laugh

I'm standing here wounded, watching you run away

I still love you, weekend

But I cannot carry on

Cold fingertips stretch across

Kissing the wound

Embracing the deeply-stained fierceness

As I stare at the mirror, my body trembles

The clear and colorless blood begins to flow from my arm

It entangles itself around your heart

The last tears disappear as a hallucination entwining into your pale heart

I'll gather them up and sleep inside the sea of blood
