Confession: We finished this cover back in 2019 and then I sat on it for 5 years before finally commissioning mograph for it LOL thank you Akame for saving my life! :D
As this is a 5 year old cover, I honestly have so many nitpicks for my lyrics and vocals (I just KNOW I could do better now) but part of being a creative is knowing when to stop chasing perfection and just put a project down. I'm going to let this one go and move on to all the other exciting music projects I had backlogged over these 3 years where I hijacked my own channel with gaming content LOL
To all the music OGs still reading this, thank you for sticking around!! Lots more to come!!!!! I've missed this so, so much!!!!!!!!!

Roaming all alone, twilight shadows,
Hazy spring that’s now slowly raining down heavy sorrows
Silence so complete, faded empty streets,
runny nose as I’m crying all alone, laughing foolishly.
It’s not a joke. This callous fighting can’t go on anymore.
Crimson in her hair and hatred in the air, violently vying for her feelings
If only I could trace the velvet tail that’s lining her eye
Or that smile that could cut through anything
‘Cause you’re a fla-fla-fla-flamingo
A vibrant, lively fla-fla-fla-flamingo
You dance and spin and laugh, laugh, as if waving goodbye
All you leave behind? Jealous, lonely sorrowful times
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe next time you’ll be more kind.
Seeing you has been a blessing till the end
Soaring carelessly high, I’ve spread my wings tumbling in the wind
Put up a facade, knowing I’m a fraud,
Hum a tune hoping no one knew I was flaunting all my flaws.
Now all I want is just to hear that voice I love even once;
Lazily I earned this payment in return,
shaken down and taken away from me
And I don’t mind if all this stage has all alone in the light
Only you standing there brightly in its beams.
So you’re a fla-fla-fla-flamingo,
An awe-inspiring fla-fla-fla-flamingo
You’re floating lightly up, up, as if waving goodbye
Just a toy, am I? Can’t we talk it out one more time?
Don’t just walk on by, taking back your words and your lies.
Now in the hail I’m standing wretched, shivering
Tightly in my right hand I hold a foxtail, though I see
Nowadays it won’t be enough to bring you back home to me
Eternally I’ll wander all those spaces in-between
Lord of Hell I beg you for just one thing
See that girl and judge her as you would rightfully
Paper-mache stories from a drunkard’s fantasies
Until the day I die, I’m a clown show, so it seems
‘Cause you’re a fla-fla-fla-flamingo
A vibrant, lively fla-fla-fla-flamingo
You dance and spin and laugh, laugh, as if waving your goodbye
Leaving only envy behind
Thanks for stopping by. Maybe next time you’ll be more kind.
Shunned and all alone, twilight shadows in this hazy spring
Laughing foolishly, silence so complete on these empty streets.
