You're six feet away I can't reach for you I can't take your hand You can't tell me it's alright

There was a time when we were happy There weren't many other people with us But we didn't need anyone else We were happy to be together

I thought I felt your hand in mine, but it was only sand, falling through my fingers

You were such a beautiful dream that I woke up in tears I cried harder when I realized it was over, that it wasn't real

Even though I see your face everywhere, and can't get your voice out of my head

You were never real I was only dreaming

(“Yami” is Japanese for “darkness”)

Swirling darkness all around It's all I hear, the only sound
