O mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?
It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken
*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly
O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?
O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved
O mother dear
This misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
-a vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting
*repeat
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore
"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
O mother dear, let me out of here!

where all the colors are
ocean
the silent ocean knows
your face
your reality
haven't been the same lately
wonder could it be a lack of devotion?
seeing in monochrome
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions
feel
can you feel
might be why colors disappear
the place we call our soul
ocean
the cyber ocean sees
your dreams
your totality
nothing stays the same
someday
I hope you will make more lasting connections
feeling jn monochrome
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions
see
can you see
colors that the ocean offers
be
can you be
something more than black white and gray
being in monochrome
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions
who taught you emotions

A lonesome soul
In an old black hole
A lonesome road
What a way to go
Chasing gold
No strings to hold
In an old black hole

Ghost in the Shell (Stand Alone Complex)
Where Does This Ocean Go?
Vocal: Ilaria Graziano
Words: troy

Printable Version
all day the city's selling something
always, the busy people spinning 'round
busier
dizzier
'til they go back home to somewhere
and taxies stop to say "hello"
"want a ride? I'll take you there"
"to anywhere, just tell my driver"
the sun is casting shadows
an afternoon is fading
I ask, but no one knows
the answer to the question
my life is like an island
where does this ocean go?
shyly, a wino sips his wine
slowly, cause to him that is all that matters
he sees a cat he knows so well
now sleeping on a bench together
a woman waiting by herself, selling flowers
"please buy some, so I can help my daughter, will you?"
the man with spider eyebrows
is standing on a corner
"who wants to see a show?"
his head looks like a melon
he turns into an alley
then stops to blow his nose
sky is filled with neon
the buildings stand electric
and almost seem to glow
want answers to the question
my life is like an island
where does the ocean go?
I really want to know
my life is like an island
it's time for me now to fly
where does the ocean go?
