[Verse 1]
Looking up at bursting lights above
Each pattern starts to fade and blur
The festival drums beat in time
With pieces of me that come undone
[Chorus]
Breaking like sparks in the festival sky
Scattering wide as the night passes by
All of these fragments were once only I
(Were once only I)
[Verse 2 - Japanese]
祭りの中で
私の心が
バラバラになって
空へ昇る
[Chorus]
Breaking like sparks in the festival sky
Scattering wide as the night passes by
All of these fragments were once only I
(Were once only I)
[Breakdown]
[Heavy drums fade to ambient sounds]
Take me piece by piece
Let me dissolve slow
Take me piece by piece
Till I let go
[Bridge]
The paper lanterns float away
Each light carries part of me
Into the summer dark
Into infinity
[Final Chorus]
Breaking like sparks in the festival sky
Scattering wide as the night passes by
All of these fragments were once only I
(Were once only I)
[Outro]
[Ambient sounds fade]
Like sparks...
Like sparks...
