Some days I walked away from home, Chasing a freedom I did not know. I followed voices that were not mine, Lost myself in noise and neon glow. I learned how cold a loud world can be, How easy it is to forget who you are. I kept my silence like a second skin, Carrying quiet doubts like a hidden scar. Now when I look back, it all feels clear, Those were my choices, they do not belong to you. You are my tomorrow, not my yesterday. You do not have to break the same old way. Take my heavy nights and all my crossroads, Turn them into signs on your own way home. When the world feels heavy and your hope feels low, Koun, remember what Iβve been through so you can say no. You are not my failure, you are my new start, A different ending with the same old heart.

Some days you will feel far from home, Standing in rooms where no one knows your name. Faces smiling, but you feel alone, Trying to play a part in someone elseβs game. Every step you take is still your choice, Not your parents, not your friends, it is your own voice. Do not do stupid things just to feel strong, Real courage is saying no when the pull feels wrong. I cannot live your life or walk your way, I can only leave these echoes so you do not have to pay. You are my tomorrow, not my yesterday. You do not have to break the same old way. Take my heavy nights and all my crossroads, Turn them into signs on your own way home. When the world feels heavy and your hope feels low, Koun, remember what Iβve been through so you can say no. You are not my failure, you are my new start, A different ending with the same old heart.

The secret is knowledge with a calm, clear mind. Guard your health, your body and your soul. Count the risk before you step inside, Trust your intuition when something feels wrong deep down. ααΌ αααΌααα·ααα»ααα αα ααα αα ααααααα α·αααΌαα You are my tomorrow, carve your own way, Let my echoes warn you when you start to stray. Take my heavy nights and all my old scars, Use them like stars when the nights are dark. When the city feels empty and you feel alone, Koun, remember you can always come home. You are not my shadow, you are my sun, The proof that my story did not end in vain. ααΌα α αα‘αααααααα ααααααααααΌααα αα ααα
