Art Of Life Lyrics - Singles - 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 dreams 

Now wake me up 

If it's all real 

Just kill me 

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 

Ran 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 wiped out : 

Dream, Reality, Memories, 

and Yourself" 

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 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 

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 are putting the scraps of life together 

and trying to make an asylum for yourself 

You're hitting a bell at the edge of the stage 

and 

You are 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 

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 dreams 

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? 

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
