CRUMBLE - 김시온 (Kim Sion)

A flickering shade A trembling light The future we once painted starts to crumble The days we traced begin to fall apart Our dream is just a quiet, simple living Our ideal is only peaceful, ordinary days But lacking change, we drift along With little change, we idle on A fading gleam A gentle glow And the path we wandered, where has it gone now? The road we followed, where did it disappear? Time can cut and irritate, Time A tiny flame rises A small flame sways Guiding us on, leading ahead What returns is a tender harmony What comes back is a gentle harmony “Nothing lasts forever,” you say again and again “You know nothing lasts forever,” you say and say And still, we try to laugh and say that’s fine And still, we laugh and say, “Well, that’s okay” Even shining light will someday fade to shadow Our dream is just for quiet, simple days But without change, we float along With nothing new, we carry on A dimming gleam, a tender glow And the road we walked, where did it go now? The road we followed, where did it disappear? Time can cut and irritate, Time A tiny flame rises A small flame sways Guiding us on, leading ahead What returns is a tender harmony What comes back is a gentle harmony Standing in a blazing storm Though we stand inside a burning storm The marks of yesterday still sting my, my skin Ripples rise Ripples rise Toward the light Toward the light Cry and whisper, “Yeah, it hurts.” So we cry softly, saying, “Yeah, it hurts.” Even balloons will someday wilt or burst apart Tiny flame rises A small flame sways Guiding us on, leading ahead What returns is a tender harmony What comes back is a gentle harmony “Nothing lasts forever,” you say again, and again “You know nothing lasts forever,” you say and say And still, we try to laugh and say that’s fine And still, we laugh and say, “Well, that’s okay” Even shining light will someday fade to shadow Even glowing light will someday turn to shade
