Drink slowly
Forget kindly
Let the world loosen its teeth

I come in the hush between heartbeats, in the pause after your prayer,
I come like snow on a bruise, like perfume in your hair
Call me mercy, call me silence, call me the gentle end,
I’m the hand that takes the picture down and says, "You can descend"
You’ve carried days like stones, you’ve carried names like chains,
You’ve slept beside your memories like weather in your veins
Let me fold them into linen, let me lay them in a drawer—
Not erased, just out of reach, not screaming anymore

Close your eyes, unclench your jaw,
Let the sharpest scenes dissolve
You don’t have to hold the past
Like a knife you never asked

Forget, forget—sweet milk of night,
Wash the ink from my hands, turn the wrong into white
Let the clocks lose their faces, let the mirrors go dim,
Let me slip from my story like a hymn
Forget, forget—velvet and slow,
Make my mind a quiet room where nothing has to show
If I can’t be forgiven, then let me be gone—
Not dead, not saved—
just beyond

Mm… beyond…
ううん……彼方に……
Mm… beyond…
ううん……彼方に……

I’ve seen you bargain with dawn, I’ve seen you bite your tongue,
I’ve seen you stitch on a smile where a wound should have sung
You call it "moving forward" but your shadow drags behind,
A long black dress of everything you’re trying not to find
So lay your head in my lap, let my fingers comb the storm,
I’ll teach your thoughts to soften, I’ll teach your fear to warm
I’ll turn your guilt to feathers, I’ll turn your grief to steam,
I’ll make your sorrow weightless in a dark, delicious dream

Close your eyes, unclench your jaw,
Let the sharpest scenes dissolve
You don’t have to hold the past
Like a knife you never asked

Forget, forget—sweet milk of night,
Wash the ink from my hands, turn the wrong into white
Let the clocks lose their faces, let the mirrors go dim,
Let me slip from my story like a hymn
Forget, forget—velvet and slow,
Make my mind a quiet room where nothing has to show
If I can’t be forgiven, then let me be gone—
Not dead, not saved—
just beyond

But listen—
I’m not innocence
I’m not truth

I’m the beautiful loophole
I’m the gentle abuse
I’m the river that takes what you throw,
and never asks why it was yours
I’m the kiss that tastes like relief
and opens a thousand doors

Some call me healing,
some call me theft
Some wake up lighter—
some wake up less

I can blur the screaming edges
I can smear the sacred lines
I can make a monster tender if you feed me enough time
I can turn a vow to vapor, turn a lover into fog,
turn a childhood into static on a late-night analog

Do you want it?
Say yes with your breathing
Say yes with your sinking

Let your mother’s voice fall away
Let your lover’s name lose its shape
Let your face become water
Let your shame become smoke

I can make you free—
I can make you hollow

So drink, drink, drink,
until the letters stop meaning
Drink, drink, drink,
until the wounds stop speaking
The room spins soft, the ceiling blooms,
the past collapses into fumes
You won’t remember why you cried—
you’ll only know the quiet tide

Forget, forget—sweet milk of night,
Wash the ink from my hands, turn the wrong into white
Let the clocks lose their faces, let the mirrors go dim,
Let me slip from my story like a hymn
Forget, forget—velvet and slow,
Make my mind a quiet room where nothing has to show
If I can’t be forgiven, then let me be gone—
Not dead, not saved—
just beyond

Forget, forget—hush my name,
Fold me into the dark where nobody points or blames
Let my anger lose its language, let my love lose its aim,
Let my "I" become a whisper without flame
If the world is a courtroom, let me exit the door,
Let me float out the window like dust on the floor
I don’t want to be brave, I don’t want to be strong—
I want the mercy of nothing to last me long

Drink slowly
Forget kindly
Let the world loosen its teeth
Forget…
Forget…
