Wish World 03:51
make a wish to yourself (when i close my eyes i will dream again when i close my eyes i will see you there) where we are lost i will find the right way (and i'll play it back just to make it right and i'll play it back just to change the meaning) and i cannot save the Wish World from itself no i cannot make the bliss become this spell there's a thread of fate that i just can't undo and even if i could i'm not sure that it's true when i wake up i will recognize your face in a dream i dream a Wish World with your name where we are lost

Madoka 02:47
i don't wanna go where the Witch is waiting in the night i'll know why my wish is fading it'll come to me like a little prayer i'm the one who'll see who was really there going back in time labyrinth in the ocean repeating the rhyme hyacinth in motion and i'll be there with you (Madoka) every single day turning like a soul gem holding onto chains 'till i finally break them destiny in shadows shining light within running through the meadows win then lose again and i'll be there with you (Madoka) that is my prayer that is my wish

Excelsior 03:42
waiting for the end to open again waiting for the world to turn the day becomes the night enemy or friend we will meet again fading as the fire burns there's darkness in the light iris blooms in June death is coming soon walking down the Rainbow Road the way the River runs looking at the moon inside my cocoon feeling all the wind that's blown the moon becomes the sun excelsior spreading golden wings endless flowers sing rewriting the laws across the stars are in a crest tie a promise string like a wedding ring bells are sounding, celtic cross there's light within the darkness i am letting go of the things i know nothing stays, the mirrors change reflecting you and i excelsior (a circle glows)

i know it, you know it it's not the way you want it below it, above it 'round and around we're going it's golden, so golden a ray of sunlight glowing to hold it is hopeless the water's always flowing create it, destroy it making a mess of all this the hope is to notice the truth this circle's showing us trying to reach out to you making a contract with eyes open it's draining, exchanging everything that you're naming the blaming, the shaming it comes to me unchanging they're saying it's raining it always ends up raining i'm waiting, still waiting my destiny's your plaything ring around the rosey a pocket full of posies my ashes, your ashes they're turning into butterflies trying to reach out to you i don't know why every time i wake up making the same wish again making a contract with eyes closed now
5.
i will give you everything you want if you promise to be something that you're not i will make you perfect, with a wish it's so everything is perfect when your eyes are closed (magic magica)
6.
when i wake up i will see you again wrapped in the light of my one waking dream waiting in silence, i look in your eyes inside the center i see who i was blurring the lines between you and myself holding your hand but it feels like my own watching the shadows arrive on your face it's not so real but it feels like it was Homura Akemi hidden heaven now it's all falling apart once again entropy figures me out like a friend don't you wish anything else could be true? all of these memories feel like a clue retracing steps 'till you find where you went making a circle, it's all in your head i'm not the one who can make it all right wishing for something to show me the light Homura Akemi hidden heaven
7.
Roses Grow 06:35
roses grow and they grow around me can't you see that i know where you go? nothing's free what you see isn't me hold me close butterflies in the air and i'm waiting for you there red is turning blue and i don't know what to do little thorn pricks your skin feel the pain let it in roses grow and they grow around me can't you see that i know where you go? nothing's free what you see isn't me on my knees saying please let it be let me go wings shine in the light like a garden in the night petals float away like a Wish World in the day give a rose to the world shadows show other world falling down going up i am bound to this luck i am fucked roses grow and they grow around me can't you see that i know where you go? nothing's free what you see isn't me surrender with eyes closed staying close always close roses grow

say your name when i hear it it sounds just like a bell see your face when i see it it looks just like a spell feel your heart when it beats i can feel it like the Earth watch your breath when it moves it can make the wind blow through see your eyes when they close you can see it all at once hear your voice when you speak it frees me from myself when i wake up i will see you again when i wake up i will say your name dream of life make the memories rearrange themselves beam of light let it shine on the worst parts of yourself you and me we can only hope that we'll make it through destiny is becoming the flowers when they bloom tell the truth it is everything that you saw that night win or lose it will show you the darkness and the light when i wake up i will see you again when i wake up i will say your name
10.
i don't want you to fear anymore i just want you with me like before i can't say what it was, i can't tell but i pray that it was what you felt it's alright, i will be, be okay in the night, try to see, see the day glory glows like a dream of life feeling trapped, in a maze, closing in find a map, fires blaze, folding in in on me, every wall, made of smoke i can't see, not at all, losing hope i'm losing me i'm losing losing you, but i still hear your name always knew that we could win this game if we lose, then we'll know what to say what to choose, letting go, everyday with a wish, i can make stars align perfect wish, we can go back in time only one, only one, one way out holy one, holy one, 'round and 'round spinning glory glows like a dream of life

about

Not forgetting either the chance that you
Might want to revise this version of what is
The only real one, it might be that
No real relation exists between my wish for you
To return and the movements of your arms and legs.
- John Ashbery
