A Thousand Dead Flies

from Asleep​/​Awake by Ikiryo

/

lyrics

the look of looking outside
the picture they took
she saw something different
in the

unregrettable pointlessness
dragged through a field
a field of envy green grass
and inevitable dahlias
is this a turning point?
it's not

a thousand dead flies in a living cadaver
a gust of wind is all it takes for them to scatter

two leaves land in the eye sockets of the person, why not...
and the flies are laying in wait as they're dying of thirst
coagulated distance seen through their kalaidescope eyes
but they still can't see
the window in front of them
alone, alongside a moth
perfect, frozen in time
now they are mine

a thousand dead flies in a living cadaver
a gust of wind is all it takes for them to scatter

regret turned inward
like a falling bird makes me nervous
flies in a carcass
