Drain (1996.12.31) Lyrics
X JAPAN (X)
Lyrics
Talk to my troubled brain
If you can feel my pain
So much hurting that's living in my head
Now I can barely breathe
And now my heart's disease
And my name and my life has been stepped
on and on'
No no!
You made fool out of me
There is no way out
I'm going down the drain
The name of God in vain
You pushed me
I'm insane
Dissolution is knocking on my door
Can't stop my bitter tears
Oh take away my fears
Body and soul is blown up into pieces
Oh
Cry out
I want to be free
Dry out
I want to know truth
Let me drain my feelings out
Lough like a drain
My emotions scream
Let me drain!
So I can't speak my mind
anata sae mo blind
I am left in a land with just solitude
Has this become my fate
Who's next be your bate
Vicious cycle repeating on and on
Cry out
I want be loved
Dry out
I want see dreams
Oh Cry out
I want to be free
Dry out
I want to know truth
Let me drain my feelings out
Lough like a drain
My emotions scream
Let me drain my feelings out
Lough like a drain
My emotions scream
let me drain!
