Miyazaki

Original

I have something to say

As has anyone who's ever made

Anything worth enjoying

Nobody can destroy it

Left unchecked, it mutates

Bleed in desperation to create

Collapses me like a star

Sickness inside my heart

Whenever I fear death, I think of that

Which I would fear much more

Never dying, is that what you're always striving for?

I leave a stream of greenery in every path I walk

Chased by a monster of a thousand voices

That always wants one more

Please don't ever take it from me

Changes the color of the air that I breathe

In grief's fertile land

The space in between clapping hands

They say it'll pass, I used to pray that it would

But its absence never brought anything good

I wake in the morning, do all of my chores then

Thinking in silence and drinking sweet wine

Putting my mind somewhere outside

Where it can feel the sun, maybe it'll connect with someone

The world's the world and I'm a person in a tiny body

I vow to live, I won't let fear be anything that stops me

I'm not a violent person, but I make things with aggression

I'm not a violent person, but my work is one exception

I won't let you take it from me

Changes the color of the air that I breathe

I wasn't always tortured

I made art long before then

I call into the void until I lose my voice

But sometimes a cry reverberates back

A child with mud-caked hands

Or a prolific and obsessive older man

I do it unpaid, unseen, unthanked

It's worth more than anything that I have

(You can never have it ever)

(You can never have it ever)

(You can never have it ever)

I won't let you take it from me

Changes the color of the air that I breathe

I won't let you take it from me

Changes the color of the air that I breathe

I won't let you take it from me
