Tampered Mémoire
⋆ ˚｡ ︶⭑ ꒷꒦︶ ⋆ ⁺₊
Not all nostalgia is remarkable.
Being someone who lives in the past.
And you can't finally turn our table,
Like how it used to be at last.
When the mirrors we decorated for years,
Broke into pieces in just a minute.
You can't pay me for wasted tears,
I'm the lost wanderer's spirit.
As the windows of mémoire open up,
I saw the light come from a scarlet heart.
Leave; don't tell me not,
It's not as sweet as a cherry tart.
The house we played for ransom.
Is just an illusion of what disaster can do?
To a guy who fell into wrath's come,
But I wouldn't end up with you.
Lost in translation, lost in temper,
And I can reset my mind.
But isn't it sweet or sour?
Just a lover seeing love as blind.
