A Tenth Of Myself lyrics
by Daisuke Ishiwatari
[Intro]
If you want
To know what's treasures
Choose a small suitcase
[Verse]
Just like zero to nine, a linear progression
From A to Z a simple classification
Someone sought to illuminate the universe
Numbers that defy division
Meaningless words and sounds were also created
[Pre Chorus]
If you want
To know what treasure's
Choose a small suitcase
If you want
To pack pleasure
Choose a big one it’s all up to you
[Verse]
I’m a phantom now living a new kind of life
Though my world has shrunk to the size of an ant's
"The big picture"
Only when that phrase finally left my head
I came to understand
Life more profoundly than when it was a warrior
[Pre Chorus]
If you want
To know what's treasures
Choose a small suitcase
If you want
To pack pleasure
Choose a big one it’s all up to you
[Chorus]
Am I superfluous, a cosmic mistake?
Am I destined for oblivion?
A TENTH
Tenth of myself
Despite everything else it’s undeniably me
TENTH
Tenth of myself
If I want to believe that
Life will begin, again, again
So, let’s forge two realities
Side by side
Two lies and two truths
The phantom will rise up
[Verse]
A phantom's justice cannot validate me
Nor do I seek divine Mercy
Though the phantom's war knows no victory
It shall never know defeat
For it's my most precious fragment
[Pre Chorus]
If you want
To know what's treasures
Choose a small suitcase
If you want
To pack pleasure
Choose a big one it’s all up to you
[Chorus]
A mere speck of my being yet
It’s an indispensable part
ATENTH
Tenth of myself
Despite everything else it’s undeniably me
TENTH
Tenth of myself
If I want to believe that
Life will begin, again, again
So, let’s forge two realities
Side by side
Two lies and two truths
The phantom will rise up
[Verse]
Oh, prime numbers can't share with many others
I thought it
I thought it was a tragedy
I thought it
I thought it was only sometimes
I thought it was special
But it’s just a number like everyone else
It just waits to be called one day
I should accept the fact that I’m tragic, lonely and special
At the same time
[Pre Chorus]
If you want
To know what's treasures
Choose a small suitcase
If you want
To pack pleasure
Choose a big one it’s all up to you
[Chorus]
A mere speck of my being yet
It’s an indispensable part
ATENTH
Tenth of myself
Despite everything else it’s undeniably me
TENTH
Tenth of myself
If I want to believe that
Life will begin, again, again, yeah
A tiny truth born in a world of lies
Though unaccepted, it's no disguise
Even if I can’t win
I will never lose
So, let’s forge two realities
Side by side
Two lies and two truths
The phantom will rise up
