Irony by LeeandLie

I feel that walking has become another chore
I don't think I can go on walking anymore
Forgive me for those words, I know they're but a cliche to you
But life is tiring, my feet are feeling sore
I wish that I could have a bit of time
To heal the ache that is growing stronger all the time
But I know time stops for nobody, let alone me
And so I go inevitably

Whenever things are going rather happily
It turns out life is just playing a trick on me
It's slightly shameful to admit the truth, I end up in tears
And so returns the same old melancholy

I miss when life was just simplicity
And misery wasn't always chasing after me
It's pretty obvious now, I should have left my regret
But I held onto it so foolishly

Maybe I overreact a bit, it hasn't destroyed me yet,
Has it? But everything I desire is always just too far to get
Honestly it's just me, brainlessly, so silly,
Always hoping for good to be
If that's the case
Then just hear my plea
Pick me up and drop me
Into unfaltering sleep

You say to look hard for a solution
But wouldn't that depend on the person?
So I could never. No, I could never
Believe a word anyone says
I know that everyone has their hardships
It's fairly clear to me that I'm not alone
But how is it that they can just leave them,
I just don't know at all

Step back from me

Please leave me be

This so deceitful road that I stumble on
Is never going to end

It's getting difficult to manuever
And it's just worthless to try and run away
So I'll just hold my hands over my ears
And block out all this noise
How can I live not knowing what life is?
Sometimes my dreams seem to be more realistic
Obviously I can't be called happy,
Then what am I after all?

The sound of the guitar and thundering voices ended with a round of applause. The bystanders clapped their hands after the stunning performance of two strangers on the street. It had been a week ever since the rumor about the Kou Empire invading the other countries died down. Instead, they were promoted by these two strangers who sang on streets while showcasing Kou's and Yrif's products. It went all according to their plan.

"Thank you, everyone! I hope our performance made your day. For our last song, we will present to you 'Pray'." The guitar started playing again and everybody brightened at the encore.

Kou Empire
Afternoon
Alibaba, Kogyouku and Leonhart

"Thais really erased the horrible rumors about Kou. Now, we can focus on everything. How are you holding up, Kogyouku?" Alibaba asked in joy. The empress grinned at him before continuing her work. The three of them were in the library, reading and writing further revisions on their plan. Their mysterious advisor, Ren Koumei, would occasionally drop by to talk to Leonhart. The said king was in awe at how fast Thais could initiate her plan. At first, there were people who were hesitant on buying their products, but as days go by, they were able to sell more than they expected.
