"In longing for the tender warmth..."
Please, read this.
I've never had a song mean more to me than this one. I mean that. I wrote this song at one of the lowest points I'd ever been in my life, and the emotion woven into these lyrics is...
Every song I put out there has a piece of me in it. A little bit of my heart and soul. Every cover is deeply personal to me, and this one most of all. More than Nandemonaiya, more than the Nisekoi Medley, more than Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, more than Sayoko.
This is my song.
It's not just another aimer song. It's not some Fate opening you've never heard. It's not about Avenger.
This is my story. My story you don't know. One I've brushed off as "Nothing". More than the sum of everything I've loved, it's about who that made me.
This is who I am.
Please, take a moment out of your day to read these lyrics on their own.
Please, read these words.
Please, hear my voice.
Please... don't end up like me.

LYRICS: (Please don't use without my permission.)
In longing for the tender warmth
of light and interwoven fingers
in a garden far away,
there's a silent voice that cries out in pain...
The lonely echo lingers.
And the dawn arrives, so brilliantly
casting light and shadows
at a time we're all asleep...
And a promise that could not be kept
is but a fleeting memory
that leaves us, questioning the end...
Buried beneath
the sins we hold so dear,
the lies we like to hear,
I slumber in the darkness
for my wings were stole away,
so in my dreams, I wished, I hoped and prayed
that one day, maybe I could find a little light...
In longing for the tender warmth
of love, or even for a future
in a time that never came,
there's a silent voice that cries out in vain...
The lonely echo withers.
And the moon is spiralling beautifully,
leaving trails of dim light,
but how long can it be seen?
And a present that could not be held
is just another memory
that my eyes follow, but know too well...
Sinking beneath
a rain that never falls,
a moon I never saw,
I slumber in the silence
while the birds who lost their wings,
they've forgotten worlds above and sing.
They'll never fly, so they describe dreams of the sky.
The light upon the surface of water
sinks and disappears into the darkness.
A day with no tomorrow, this broken Knight so hollow,
they look up to the sky from where they fell,
crying for help...
Buried beneath
the sins we hold so dear,
the lies we like to hear,
I slumber in the darkness
for my wings were stole away,
so in my dreams, I wished, I hoped and prayed
that one day, maybe I could find...
Drowning beneath
a rain that never falls,
a moon I never saw,
I'm fading in the silence...
But for those who lost their wings,
I'll open my heart again and sing
so one day, maybe they can find
a little light.
