Not a Kami just a man
Don't call me immortal
cause I can still bleed
I am not eternal
Not even my memories
I am not some god
SO do not bow to me
I am not a king
So don't follow my lead
I am a mortal
With mistakes so grave
That if I buried them
A cemetary wouldn't have the space
A mortal man
Whose actions are not brave
I'm not a knight in shining armour
It is crimson from all those who bled
To let me live
who saved my life
But took their own
In a selfish right
I never asked for this
I don't want these stains
But I refuse to face the shame
Of taking mine, they should have lived
I was falling apart
Like a member of the living dead
Nobody could get to me
Through my thick iron lined head
But they all broke through
At the cost of their lives
And I shed a tear
Cause why did they have to die
I am a mortal
With mistakes so grave
That if I buried them
A cemetary wouldn't have the space
A mortal man
Whose actions are not brave
I'm not a knight in shining armour
It is crimson from all those who bled
To let me live
who saved my life
But took their own
In a selfish right
I never asked for this
I don't want these stains
But I refuse to face the shame
Of taking mine, they should have lived
I lay awake at night
And though I am alive
I am empty with the seas
Of all the sadness that I cried
Pools like oceans
Salty and hot
My body still lives
Though my heart is surely rot
I am a mortal
With mistakes so grave
That if I buried them
A cemetary wouldn't have the space
A mortal man
Whose actions are not brave
I'm not a knight in shining armour
It is crimson from all those who bled
To let me live
who saved my life
But took their own
a selfish right
I never asked for this
I don't want these stains
But I refuse to face the shame
Of taking mine, they should have lived
I wanna give myself a purpose
To show them all I care
I wish I knew the magic spell
To bring them back from their despair
I want my friends back here
To see my fly
From rock bottom to the clouds
Cause surely then I'd be alive
I am a mortal
With mistakes so grave
That if I buried them
A cemetary wouldn't have the space
A mortal man
Whose actions are not brave
I'm not a knight in shining armour
It is crimson from all those who bled
To let me live
who saved my life
But took their own
In a selfish right
I never asked for this
I don't want these stains
But I refuse to face the shame
Of taking mine, they should have lived
