Beyond the smiling expression
I can’t see through to the truth
I’m fine just smiling along with you
Even if someone wrote me a hint
I can’t read it because it’s written too small
I can only start digging little by little
Still, I don’t want to wear glasses
Even if I open my eyes the entire day
I’m busy looking at all the things
That are so clear to see
I’m already tired from everything
I don’t need to see every small, black thought
I'm already tired from everything
I don't need to read all the fine print
I don’t want to wield a sword to find
The things you worked so hard to hide
I’m fine just getting fooled by you
Is there something behind the rainbow
It’s too far, I can’t see it
I can only imagine marvelous things
Still, I don’t want to wear glasses
Get tricked and deceived, but I still trust
I’m busy imagining and being disappointed
I’m already tired from everything
I don’t care to see your flaws
I’m already tired from everything
I don’t want to see too far
I’m already tired from everything
I’m not going to wear heavy glasses
I’m already tired from everything
I’m not going to wear square glasses

Why do you share?
"Why do you share?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you share your experiences with others? Why do you communicate with others? Why do you help others? Why do you go so far for something that is not yours? Why do you do all that?
"Why are you asking me all this?"
"Because I don't understand. I'm afraid. I'm petrified. Scared by the thought that one day, because I don't grasp and hold the reason as to why i'm sharing my life, myself, my spirit, with others..
I'll die.
Slowly, bit by bit. Unseen through the lenses but as solid as a rock.
What can I do by then?
All the things I shared, how can I know it'll be with me for good till the end?"

The light beneath the leaves
"Hi. My name is Suiren. Please look after me."
"Hi. I'm Nur. Stands for light in arabic."
"Light? That's beautiful. My name stands for water lily in japanese."
"That's cool! Great to meet you water lily."
"You too light. You too."
"Suiren, I think you should use a lighter color for the leaves."
"Oh, I just felt like painting it lighter you see."
"but the forest is suppose to be dark in that area"
"yeah but it's not always dark isn't it?"
"They loved it Suiren. Great job!"
"Really?! It's all thanks to you Nur."
"Me? All I did was give ideas and fixed the colors. You did the important job."
"If it wasn't for your ideas and delicate touches, the painting wouldn't be the same Nur. Give yourself some credit will ya."
"Haha if you say so Suiren. Now let's get some treats to celebrate. I know just the right place."
"To the light!"
"Nur, I need to go home early today. Sorry."
"Huh. Oh sure Suiren. Our work is nearly done here anyway."
"Thanks Nur."
"Hey, why do you need to go back early by the way? Anything I can help?"
"Ah, I just need to do some errands. Thanks Nur."
"Stop thanking me Rainy."
"Whatever Sunlight."
"Hey Suiren, your paintings seems to be different lately. Is anything the matter?
"Different? Ah, I just wanted to explore different themes and colors."
"If you say so Sui Sui."
"Hey Nur. Can I ask you a favor?"
"Yeah?"
"It's nothing."
"Boss wants you to tone down on the colors."
"What colors?"
"The colors on your paintings idiot. You're using to much dark elements. Your drawings also seems to be, kinda shadowy? Even the character's shadows seems to be emphasized more. You changed, Suiren."
"It's just my paintings Nur. I'll fix it."
"Suiren, what's this? Are you sick?"
"What? Oh. That's my sister's. I went the pharmacy yesterday but i guess i forgot to pass it to her."
"Is your sister okay? This is anti-depressants isn't it?
"You sure don't miss a beat Nur. Don't worry, she's in great care."
"Good to hear that."
"Suiren. Is there anything you need to tell me?"
"Hmm?"
"Stop it Suiren. I know something's wrong with you."
"Nur, what do you mean? I'm fine you know."
"You don't have a sister Suiren."
"How did you.."
"Suiren. Please. I know what you're going through. Please Suiren."
"I'm fine Nur."

Nobody Knows
Time will fix it, just forget about it
Don’t say these things when you don’t get it
It’s tough to pretend to have forgotten it all
I wish I could show you so you would stop
If it really were that easy
I wouldn’t have called it love
It could be erased, but I can’t do it
Nobody knows, nobody knows
It won’t happen, you can’t be erased
Please stop, please stop
Whatever you say, it won’t make me feel better
So stop
Love will fix it, just find someone else
Don’t say these things when you don’t get it
Tell me about that show you saw, or maybe a joke you know
Then at least I could lie to myself and smile
If it really were that easy
I wouldn’t have called it love
It could be erased, but I can’t do it
Nobody knows, nobody knows
It won’t happen, you can’t be erased
Please stop, please stop
Whatever you say, it won’t make me feel better
So stop
Can I put an end to this
Can I finally rest
Would that even be possible
Can I love again
I try to forget you every day
Just to forget you’re not here to stay
All that fades with time is your back walking away
Nobody knows, nobody knows
It won’t happen, you can’t be erased
Please stop, please stop
Whatever you say, it won’t make me feel better
Nobody knows, nobody knows
It won’t happen, you can’t be erased
Please stop, please stop
Whatever you say, it won’t make me feel better
So stop
Nobody knows

Hey you
Hey you,
yes you,
The one who keeps staring at the mirror trying to discern herself.
You.
You know what this world is about?
It's about tumbling down rocky ledges, trying to maintain a stable foothold.
It's about loosing your possessions and yourself along the way,
and then gets something better, more fitting, more you.
It's about walking through blizzards and deserts,
only to find that sometimes even sunlight can betray you.
It's about just pushing forward, even though you wished super hard for the world to stop.
To spare you, to let you figure out what time wants from you for awhile.
To discern what's going on exactly.
To wrap your fingers around the globe and feel it moves through your fingers.
Hey you,
you've been thinking haven't you?
you feel like you're back to zero don't you?
Come now,
it's okay to move slowly.
The rule for this life is to just, just move. It doesn't matter which path you decide to move to. At the very least in the end you can applaud yourself for actually attempting to move.
You know what differentiates a loser and a winner?
A loser stops and gives up forever while the winner might stop, might give up, for awhile, for a second, an hour, days, but eventually, the winner gets up, and moves with a steadier pace.
I know, it's difficult, to keep picking up your pace after days of building it.
but hey, trust yourself a little bit more and look around.
Will it be worth it if you stop?
yes you,
The one who keeps staring at the mirror trying to discern herself.
You.
