Mr Children - Fake




======================================================================
Artist = Mr Children
Title = Fake

======================================================================
I'll come right out and say it
We're just fakes made to look like the real thing
And we live in false bottoms
So no one sees through us

The desire to curse someone
Swells up from my cheeks to my diaphragm
"I hate this"
So I come up with a desperate plan
And manage to get through another day

Clutching my emptiness
My dreams hanging from me
I take off to tomorrow from the second floor
Even if I turn to ashes
And if I give up
I'll just start over again from scratch
Looks like I'm still
Unable to hate myself, oh oh oh
I'll believe the lies
I'm soaked in

What pace should I set?
What should I try first?
I wring out every bit of knowledge I have
But in the end it works against me

If a woman says, "I love you"
She's just using you
In place of someone else
If I realize that in the middle of unhooking her bra
I just keep rocking my hips

Burdened with loneliness
Connected by love
I take off from the second basement of my past
Like a hyena
I stumbled and was overtaken
But I dashed and caught up
And regaind a little
Pride in myself, oh oh oh
But what I grabbed
Was just another fake

The noises that assault you
The images you see
If you cut them off for a while and open your heart
What can you see?
Whose voice can you hear?
Will I be able to hold you forever?

Clutching my emptiness
My dreams hanging from me
I take off to tomorrow from the second floor
I'll do a high jump
And if I'm fooled
That won't stop me from trusting again
If I can keep from doubting anyone, oh oh oh
If we can forgive each other
Even if someday
The treasure I held so tightly
Is revealed to be a fake, oh oh oh
I'll believe the lies
Ground into the world
Everything's a fake
Even that...
