lyrics

TOKYO

Tokyo doesn’t love us anymore

Kaiju rising against the sky
Lost and found you don’t care
Shooting grounds all quiet tonight
Shadows stir your cold nightmare
Flowers rain all rejoice
I can’t stand your endless noise
I can’t love I can’t hate
Kairosoft has closed the gate

Tokyo doesn’t love us anymore

Tokyo – darkness falls
Ancient rites your dead end
Tokyo – you don't care
Where all your girls have been sent
Tokyo – hot click bait
But I don't feel nothing at all
Tokyo – you uncreate
I have come for your fall

Hear the Ryus scream
I have come for your fall

Tokyo doesn’t love us anymore

It's not fair and I don’t understand
Overloaded by your virtual truth
Colossus gone insane
Curtain call wasted youth
Orchids breathe the poisoned air streetfood for dragonflies
Uncreating you don't care and your children pay the price
Bizarre porn manga flood
Warashi super god


A curse upon you Tokyo!
I feel nothing at all
I have come for your fall
Hear the Ryus scream

Tokyo doesn’t love us anymore
