おとなの掟 (The Adult Code) 椎名林檎 (Sheena Ringo)

Sighs in the blackest black abiding
As soon as one dies, one is rising
With the night so dark and cold
The wishes I make are swallowed up and hidden away
Breath of the whitest white is
What I most with to say down deep now inside
Can a voice so numb and cold have some song to sing?
It could be false, or reality
The things I like, or hate, or things I want to gain
Whatever's feeling good is what my lines would say
For setting off the black from white, it'd work perfectly
Though like a chant of ruination it'd be

Why did I think that since I'd studied
The latest schoolbook I'd know clearly
What's right from what's wrong, and which is which one
That I could choose, I could really know?
I live according to stage-right, stage-left, exit
Improvisation's not been in my bag of tricks
So much of what I want to say pours out noisily
But never when you're not here alone with me

What I know that I hold in my hands I want to set free
Think of how much lighter you and I would feel then
Every word, every wall, every curse and sparing nothing, strip it
Take it all away to once again see eye to eye
