The City Awakes

ch. (x2)
most otaku ever on the microphone
most of you don't know where this sample's from
start a revolution just to pass the time
until the city comes alive: Texhnolyze
v1.
waking up seems I'm always making beats everyday
prize fighter on the mpc I'm Ichise
my ill demeanor cost me an arm and a leg
but my pride stays forever, never going to beg
i'll never stay idle, simply passing hours
limbs always needing the power of raffia flowers
in my own lane so much that my vengeance devours
bitter all the time I just relationship sour
but still i shine brighter because i'm ever illumined
the doc's correct that I've become the perfected human
excised from society because my nature's too raw
but does that really matter you're like a new god?
beat the brains out of enemies, because i lack empathy
or my sympathies have overloaded back into enmity
but this world is over, no worry about indemnity
a city ever at rest, is never how it is meant to be
v2.
my eyes are unstoppable, and ever so clear
as the seer of Gabe, my vision lacks peers
make you see as I do too, drive you all to insanity
bring the end of this city, exactly as planned you see
that's the kind of perfection only I ever bring
the only prophesy's doom, so Armageddon I'll sing
turning us into shapes, but there is nothing gestalt
everything ending now, and brought right down to a halt
make you murder your leaders, cut them down in the streets
plus those who put us here, view us as nothing but beasts
brutalize the dictators, and then be shaped by creators
who are just as inhuman, they'll turn their back on you later
they'll destroy me as well, turn the world into hell
nobody living to know, no history left to tell
everything's muted and planed clean of all faults
everyone executed and burned from every vault

Top Priority
03:32
|
|
||
Ch.(X2)
Used to download this off IRC
Now I'm living that life IRL
You know she's my top priority
Without her I'm stuck standing still
V1.
My life was no Sinatra / couldn't do it my way
Anime: the only thing / That gave escape in my day
Queuing files in IRC / always watching new shows
Onegai inspiring me / but still I often felt low
My life couldn't be that charmed / Like that young protagonist
Confidence was disarmed / So every shot just had to miss
So I also felt that / my universe was static
Always feeling held back / And avoiding a panic
Gradually acclimatized / to be social through these cons
Fujoshi told me that I'm fly / still thought they must be wrong
But that broke through my fear / of even giving compliments
Stupid lack of confidence / finally fell to common sense
Finally got a little nerve / but was still just the biggest nerd
That's when life threw me a curve / but finally I had some words
Made a little small talk / didn't think I had a chance
But one year later / the language would be romance
V2.
Now that distant memory / is sweeter than caramels
Irony in retrospect / is possibly the parallels
Red hair and glasses / experience surpasses
Arrested development / Was key in how I acted
She was from a distant world / an alien abducting me
Sometimes a tsundere girl / having trouble trusting me
But I straight pursued her / even she went away
She could wipe my memory / I'd think about her everyday
Cause she put me in motion / expanding my universe
Finally feel emotions / love for her's my truest curse
Forever put her in first / hold it down against the odds
Love could cross a galaxy / even though it's sometimes flawed
I know it's never perfect / I can be unintelligent
But we both keep working / to get past that irrelevance
Literally heaven sent / came out from amongst the stars
And since we made it this far / Farther really isn't hard.

Miracle

V1.
Avatar of rhyme reborn to here to do work
Gotta absolve the sins of an injured earth
Killing ourselves with our actions byproducts
Cause all we want to do is play around and buy products
So I've cheated death once to keep us all in the game
But goal of my reign is to end acid rain
And the pollution causes spiritual damage
Puts our physical selves at a disadvantage
Have the power of the gods and we've abused it heavily
Only increased our cancer rates more steadily
Consumption ad infinitum is quite the tyranny
It's all a facade nothing's what it appears to be
I'm not against the modern world only new ignorance
False cognition only leads towards a bigger chance
Of falling off a higher cliff at a much higher speed
And this isn't an anime only us can save we
Ch. X2
...And now
a miracle is about to occur
...Some how
we're all going to change the world
V2.
And I wish it was all just wondrous story
Directed by Mr. Shoji Kawamori
Wish I could hear the spirits of our planet pleading
To cut it a little break from our relentlessness beating
Wish I had telepathy to see the destruction
Caused by all of our impulsive consumption
Instead all I can do is read the news a little
But even that doesn't seem to move my views a little
So all I can do now is try see past the target
Try to be one with the moments that are the darkest
Only when once internalized can the images starkest
Finally ensure that real change in me has started
I know it'll be slow cause I'm a sedentary larder
But I'll fly from the bow of a legendary archer
And we could all grow just as organically
If we all clear our souls and dissolve our manic needs

ch. (x2)
life is hard for nandaba
ninamori, haruhara,
samejima, firestarters,
flying v, rickenbackers
medical mechanica
space police panic
medical mechanica
space police panic
v1.
every single day here is the same
nothing happening and everything's lame
brokenhearted girls play many games
also guilty of riding in that lane
under bridges lewd moments reside
keeping secrets and feelings inside
finally confront with nothing to hide
not my fault that she's going to cry
sudden confrontation then interrupts
bass to my skull leaves me concussed
didn't see it coming no time to duck
maybe that'll finally change my luck
finally home but what should I see
vespa woman who assaulted me
making dinner for my family
lost my cool and I did so fully
even though I know I've taken damage
can't bare to see beneath the bandage
think it might hide a brand new appendage
hope it goes away and my body mends it
finally time to confront and unload
said I don't care if you overflow
if that isn't best then I'll never know
swear my forehead's ready to explode
v2.
now it's lights off with robots and mechs
id unlocked with emotions unchecked
couldn't stop it with a glock and tec
but a rickenbacker swing can connect
put an alien god in a void
back inside the skull of a young boy
sour bitter moments fusing with joy
waiting for the next bot to deploy
giant iron trying to flatten the crease
spacey police trying to seal in a beast
hungry girl trying to lock down a feast
borrowed powers coming up on their lease
canti pray I don't face them again
canti pray I save all of my friends
in this madness I'm here to defend
swing the bat like my old brethren
empty-headed here with nothing but angst
but alive again with nothing but thanks
hybrid rainbow moving upward and out
finally saying something when I dare shout
mechanica still has a surprise
white mist tries to choke out the skies
keep us inside to validate lies
but I've grown ready to defy
greater worlds, I now know exist
double neck guitars held in my fist
pirate king and a god and a man
not a boy now so forget your plans
no nori left for eyebrows
no reason to be shy now
nothing left to deny now
only option to try now

ch.
no matter the losses you suffer
I'll be there forever
together forever
i promise it will get better,
I'll be here forever,
together forever
(x2)
I will never let you go
stay together itsumo
v1.
found me when I was at my lowest
thought instantly that I had blown this
could've sworn that I'd just been cursed there
double cursed then would've been the worst there
you took me in like we took you in
thought at most that we'd all be friends
but quickly everything changed
cause you were unfazed by the strange
situation that my life is
understood just what my strife is
didn't care, didn't pay it no mind
and kept it 100, all of the time
wasn't to say with you it was easy
cause everyone wanted you believe me
cause we could see that you're gifted
regarding curses you could lift it
gave me love that I was never given
no kidding I was super smitten
generous to a fault so massive
proactive but yet some how passive
heartbeat accelerated by your presence
so prayed that I earned your deference
was your king amongst these peasants
though no matter what I'd never resent
but you chose me over better choices
tuned out those dissenting voices
who'd never see me through your eyes
so I mean it when I sigh...
v2.
different class, you could've clowned me
but you just laughed, your love surrounds me
had my back better than my own family
though it's hard to understand me
held me up when I was failing
but with you it's smoother sailing
every moment spent with you is darling
average born but with you I'm a starling
never imagined we'd ever make it there
never fathomed we'd ever take it there
when it's serious and so sincere
with you around I can know no fear
and your family supported me freely
didn't judge and just let me be me
even though I was little naive
you gave me all a welcome reprieve
being with you is my mission
open up your heart forbidden
let me in to your world so hidden
let me help you feel forgiven
what's a curse to a true romance
what's the worst to a real chance
of finally moving forward
even if that movement's torrid
want to hug you with no fears
cause to me you are most dear
even if that path's unclear
wanna stay with you for years so...

Calling Out
03:17

v1.
the tech and tecs...
the tools of the trade...
get ready to deck...
if we're coming raid...
plug into your neck...
download your array...
broke all your sec...
memory betrayed...
drop bodies (x6)
lead is the gift, if my section nine people are catching you naughty
head's getting ripped, you should surrender or you'll be disembodied
so don't kamikaze, they'll make you a zombie if you're acting haughty
deep in the net, soul's in a ghost dive
seek real truth cause you know most lie
opposition is toast not a boast I've
disabled barriers and broke eyes
amateur hacks with interceptors
body all of these young inept sirs
forever young with no elixir
cyberized and so's my clique sir
section nine but that stays on low low
rolling out with Batou and Motoko
ghost in a shell but I'm not Proto
have a soul and my vision goes slow mo
never get me confused for an AI
not the kind of person who'd stay shy
never staying out of the fray I
pull the micro out and then spray fire
ch.
Surprise! Surprise! I'm full prosthetic.
When I take battle damage / need a tech not a medic.
Full cyberized! And you're pathetic.
I'm the best of the best / trump genetic with synthetic.
(x2)
v2.
we keep it all low...
keep everything' quiet...
but if we must blow...
then everyone's dying...
you know how it goes...
if the apple you're biting...
gets stuck in your throat...
last moments are writhing...
we're diving (x6)
discover the truth in the net, then flush out corruption from hiding
providing true justice while heading off all of these violent uprisings
he who stays the lowest dethrones the inept and the sick and conniving
chasing down each of these passing plans
individual eleven and laughing man
only ever making a lasting stand
cyberized vision is amassing scans
glide along side Tachikoma's
gonna leave these enemies torn up
laser sight gonna snipe well sure enough
Kevlar vest on the chest gets blown up
gonna put several bodies in action
all these hacks means they're my actors
break the firewall of your factions
don't even see the corner your backed in
active camouflage also surrounds us
end game is that we confound trust
so quiet we don't make a loud fuss
til the Jericho's out going bust bust

Wings & Halo
03:30
|
|
||
ch. (x2)
Little grey wings on my back
And a halo on my head
Never want or seem to lack
But the truth is still unsaid
v1.
Descending at rapid rate, with no brakes
It's seems as if my action state has no wait
I'm not terrified and some how that's scarier
Falling without end, lacking one barrier
Everything seems well now, like I'm in well now
Wake up underwater, no wait I'm in shell now
Black out again, regaining consciousness
Memories are absent, I'm being just honest yes
I had dream I think, I just described it
Confused to my core, as if I could hide it
Now my back's screaming, feels like it's tearing
Everything's wrong, like everything's erring
Bite down and black out, guess that's like 3 times
Wake to new appendages, yet I'm in my right mind
Feel oddly at home, welcomed into friendship
Charcoal feather family, hope we never rend it
v2.
Time is flying by, and friends start to fly away
Thought I understood life, as a young Haibane
Guilt eats away at my core irrational
Feathers turn black, no longer ashen wool
But my friends are patient, hide it with medication
Search for inner peace through deepened meditation
Still panicked in a rush trying to reclaim my history
Instead my past found me, and absolved my misery
That moment in the winter only caused more questions
How come I was saved, but my friend isn't mentioned?
Cause that person loves and cares for me with every fiber
What history would have to be seen and deciphered?
Brought the true name forward, almost rejected me
But the lesson learned kept us connected see
Couldn't stay long, but our souls' debts are payed
Always in my heart's cup; memory'll never fade

ch. (x2)
self acceptance is a difficult road
when in you're in this big city all alone
real miracles happen when you get friends
finally get a tight circle: Genshiken
v1.
so otaku but he could never say it
no one to talk too, so he never betrayed it
there no was walk through, or possible game plan
he never once thought, that it could ever change man
but by chance he finally got guidance
loving his hobbies and this new alliance
he's a changed man, finally gotta a goal
he has a crew, and a new place to call home
used to be so nervous, and feel so broken
now he's got that backpack full up with doujin
his adult game is playing adult games
with friends who think the same, and give him no shame
just took one event to rearrange his outlook
evaporate his worries, let all the doubt cook
off - now he's a manga editor
staying on his grind out there to get it sir
v2.
she used to feel held down, rejected
called fujoshi and felt dejected
so disconnected lacking one friendship
jumping outta buildings hoping to end it
fell into place amongst those like-minded
they knew her world and they gave her kindness
took her places that she'd never dare go
went from unloved to one whose cared for
the line work filled in with screen tones
emptiness replaced with a dream home
comiket tables are now a staple
of her life, they're no longer a fable
now her position is one that some would covet
selling out booths cause her works are published
club president and not just a member
all because her friends all stoked the embers
v3.
bullied in high school, the wounds won't heal well
rejected him just because he read BL
started to trap just to get a connection
surprise was it worked for a few sessions
found a group of people who accept him
one of the girls, to the girls who get him
but to some others, his style upsets them
could his obsession be out to wreck him?
cause he doesn't know where his fantasies stop now
sacred to death that the walls could crash down
cause for an uke, he feels so loco
worries that he goes past otokonoko
but where his story ends is probably happy
because his friends all have his back, see?
his path's unknown, may never be decided
but it doesn't matter with his friends beside him

It's Gravitation
02:56

|

ch.
Overcoming all this hesitation
Drawing closer like it's gravitation
Isn't rational, it isn't patient
Never can hold back, it's gravitation
V1.
Headphones always locked up / in the keyboard
Goofing off in class / all can see that he's board
Sequencer turnt up / keeping all beats floored
Net an F in math / but the sum will mean more
Out there making tracks now / run it back now
Make all the layers stack now / then attack plow
Run into a cold face / the told face
Someone you didn't know face / but so based
Didn't like the bars though / took it hard though
Not feeling so smart though / inner heart glows
Passion in the art grows / with a scar though
Gotta make a start bro / though it's dark bro
All up in a new place / a new place
Situations two faced / it's too faced
Even if love returns / could still yearn
Hope it never adjourns / and won't burn
V2.
Keep it on the low down / but these bro clowns
Try to shut it down / try to run the whole town
But that is that game now / getting fame now
Even it's lame now / things will change now
Could even make it rain now / run a train now
But the craziest thing / feels sane now
Only need that cold voice / and that cold face
Only making one choice / that's a bold taste
Number ones and concerts / and even TV
Distance is the one hurt / it's never easy
Always want to act out / but it's not doubt
Love is so intense / every syllable's shouts
The memories are ever beautiful / The drama is ever greater
And love is making the truest fools / especially of every hater
Drawing closer to impact / the moment everyone paid for
Gravitation un-held back / crack the earth, make a crater

step inside the shadows of my heart
see it through right through the dark
it's just the beginning, it's a start
it's a start
v1.
know it's beyond any reason
truly the most savage season
lack anything to believe in
emotions taunting and teasin'
panic attackin not breathin'
innocence lost got me grievin'
warmth ends up very decievin'
everything seems so indecent
try to lay everything bare then
grievences ready for airin'
but we're too easily scarin'
not death defyin' or darin'
but now it's for time declarin'
every secret to be shared then
makin' the opaque transparent
organize all your affairs then...
v2.
feeling unsure of the future
trying to be a seducer
club only made up of losers
really a joke with no humor
only connect through computers
cannot escape these accusers
everyone circulates rumors
snooper boomers in the boudoir
all that they want are examples
sacrifices for the bramble
they do not care who they strangle
they're just distressin' the damsels
youth has them easily rankled
because their now is a shambles
they want us all disentangled
but we're ready to be vandals
