Art Of Life Lyrics

Artist: X-Japan

Desert rose
Why do you live alone
If you are sad
I'll make you leave this life
Are you white, blue or bloody red
All I can see is
drowning in cold grey sand

The winds of time
You knock me to the ground
I'm dying of thirst
I wanna run away
I don't know how to set me free to live
My mind cries out feeling pain

I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been
feeling endless hurt
Falling down, rain flows into my heart
In the pain I'm waiting for you

Can't go back
No place to go back to
Life is lost, flowers fall
If it's all dream, now wake me up
If it's all real, just kill me

간주

I'm making the wall inside my heart
I don't wanna let my emotions get out
It scares me to look at the world
Don't want to find myself
lost in your eyes

I tried to drown my past in grey
I never wanna feel more pain
Run away from you
without saying any words
What I don't wanna lose is love

Through my eyes
Time goes by like tears
My emotion's losing the color of life

Kill my heart
Release all my pain
I'm shouting out loud
Insanity takes hold over me

Turning away from the wall
Nothing I can see
The scream deep inside
reflecting another person in my heart
He calls me from within
"All existence you see before you
must be wipe out
Dream, reality, memories, and yourself"

간주

I begin to lose control of myself
My lust is so blind, destroys my mind
Nobody can stop
my turning to madness
No matter how you try to
hold me in your heart

Why do you wanna raise these walls
I don't know the meaning of hatred
My brain gets blown away
hearing words of lies
I only want to hold your love

Stab the dolls filled with hate
Wash yourself with their blood

Drive into the raging current of time
Swing your murderous weapon
into the belly the Earth

Shout and start creating confusion
Shed your blood for pleasure
And what for love
What am I supposed to do

I believe in the madness called now
Past and future prison my heart
Time is blind
But I wanna trace my love
on the wall of the time
over pain in my heart

Art of life
Insane blade stabbing dreams
Try to break all truth now
But I can't heal this broken heart in pain
Cannot start to live, cannot end my life
Keep on crying

간주

Close my eyes
Time breathes I can hear
All love and sadness melt in my heart

Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me
living my life outside my walls

You can't draw a picture of yesterday
So you're painting your heart
with your blood
You can't say no
Only turning the wheel of time
with a rope around your neck

You build a wall of morality and take
a breath from between the bricks
You make up imaginary enemies
And are chased by them
You're trying to commit suicide
You're satisfied with your prologue
Now you're painting
your first chapter black

You're putting the scraps of life together
And trying to make
an asylum for yourself
You're hitting a bell at the edge of stage
And you're trying to kill me

I believe in the madness called now
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live, can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for

Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live
Do I try to love in my dream

피아노 간주

I'm breaking the wall inside my heart
I just wanna let my emotions get out
Nobody can stop
I'm running to freedom
No matter how you try
to hold me in your world

Like a doll carried by the flow of time
I sacrificed the present moment
for the future
I was in chains of memory half-blinded
Losing my heart
Walking in the sea of dream

Close my eyes
Rose breathes I can hear
All love and sadness melt in my heart

Dry my tears
Wipe my bloody face
I wanna feel me
living my life outside my mind

Dreams can make me mad
I can't leave my dream
I can't stop myself
Don't know what I am
What lies are truth
What truths are lies

간주

I believe in the madness called now
Time goes flowing, breaking my heart
Wanna live, can't let my heart kill myself
Still I haven't found what I'm looking for

Art of life
I try to stop myself
But my heart goes to destroy the truth
Tell me why
I want the meaning of my life
Do I try to live
Do I try to love

Art of life
An eternal bleeding heart
You never wanna breathe your last
Wanna live, can't let my heart kill myself
Still I'm feeling for
A rose is breathing love in my life
