...yeah, I just wanted to. I love Sheena 8V
Miniature Disasters
A Sheena Fujibayashi FST
Lullabye For a Stormy Night
[Sheena loves her grandfather. He’s always there when she needs him-until the one day he’s not]
Little child, be not afraid
Though rain pounds harshly against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger
I am here tonight
Little child, be not afraid
Though thunder explodes and lightning flash
Illuminates your tear-stained face
I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see
In the morning
Little child, be not afraid
Though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Little child, be not afraid
Though wind makes creatures of our trees
And their branches to hands, they're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see
In the morning
For you know, once even I was a
Little child, and I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well now I am grown
And these years have shown
That rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'Til your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see
In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain'll be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
Girl From the Hills
[She wants to learn to be a better Summoner, but she misses Mizuho more than anyone can believe.]
Standing alone, in a tearful refrain,
The girl from the hills sighs in vain,
People scutter by as she unbuttons one button from her pretty city dress
Watching the sun lend the sky to the moon,
And it's times like these, she yearns to be, back where the air doesn't bleed,
And the birds whisper words of tranquility,
She yearns to be...
Yearns to be
She looks to the sky in a daze of deep dismay,
And she questions all her troubles and her strifes of life,
Oh...for wealth is from the heart, not a car, a house or a plastic credit card
For every tear you lose a diamond from your crown
And it's times like these, she yearns to be,
Back under that old apple tree,
Where she'd dance and she'd sing to this melody,
She'd sing to me, she'd sing to me
And it's times like these when the world's so cruel that she'd hear this voice inside her call...
Past in Present
[The time is now: Sheena will do what she must for Tethe’alla, as much as that day twelve years ago still haunts her]
The scarlet letter isn’t black
Gotta know who's got your back
Because they’re right in front of you
Because I'm telling you the truth
So much present inside my present
Inside my present and
So, so much past inside my present
Inside my present inside my present
So, so...
Feeling it from dark to bright
When a wrong becomes a right
When a mountain fills with light
It’s a volcano, it’s a volcano
It’s a volcano, it’s a volcano
So much present, inside my present
Inside my present
So, so much past
Inside my present, inside my present
Inside my present
So, so much past
Inside my present
Inside my present
Inside my present
So, so much past
Inside my present
Inside my present
Inside my present
So, so...
Daffodil
[She meets Colette; a caring and kind soul from the declining Sylvarant-the girl she needs to kill-but Sheena finds the Chosen to be everything she is not]
See her looking down at us
She's so much higher I cannot reach
Her beauty dazzles me with its power
I try to pull at something deeper inside
But my hands reach out into cold emptiness
I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
I'm falling down into a world so strange
She smells of daffodils
Beneath the surface a rotten stench
It spreads out all over her being
Beneath that ivory skin a thousand worms
Are feasting on all that is dead
I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
I'm falling down into a world so strange
The world outside seems so strange, I'm safe here
On my own I can face my fear
This body's bruised in many ways
'Cause your eyes burnt holes in its structure
I want to break free from this prison
I want to change these conditions, tear off the label
That you stitched so tightly to my skin
I'm a person
Why won't you let me be a person
That's all that I am
I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange
I'm falling down into a world so strange
Carnival
[Sheena begins to see the real Sylvarant, and coupled with the meeting of its Chosen, she is thrown]
I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Make up on their faces
Actors took their places next to me
I've walked these streets
In a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers
The vendors & the dealers
They crowded around me
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and my own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth & poverty
In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me
I've walked these streets
In the mad house asylum
They can be
Where a wild eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
And he raved of saving me
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and my own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
To shut my eyes and play along
Hypnotized
Paralyzed
By what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen?
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
Have I been strong
Have I been
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival?
Miniature Disasters
[She needs to make a decision-and for once, it’s something she wants to do, not an order from someone else-and the feeling is spectacular]
I don't want to be second best
Don't want to stand in line
Don't want to fall behind
Don't want to get caught out
Don't want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn
Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honestly
I think it would be good for me
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
If I'm a stranger to myself
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me
I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground
And I need to be patient
And I need to be brave
Need to discover
How I need to behave
And I'll find out the answers
When I know what to ask
But I speak a different language
And everybody's talking too fast
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be
I've got to run a little faster
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It will be the death of me
Metal Heart
[She wants to be stronger; the world is at stake, and she hates feeling weak]
I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish I was half as good
As you think I am
Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies
When they say no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
I wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use
Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies
When they say no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round
I want to be dependable
I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be your friend you can rely on
You can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive
And be willing to love
I wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Bullets built with me in mind
Then I could be saved
My sweet lord, take care of me for I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek, lay my burden down
Lay my burden down
Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies
When they say no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round
The world is round
The world is round
Glittering Clouds
[When facing Volt, she is totally different; the blame and mistakes in the past are still alive, but she needs to do it now, again, and failure cannot be an option a second time]
I'm not always like this, it's something, I’ve become
A terrible weakness, in my nature, in my blood
Save me, oh save me,
Save me from myself
Before I hurt somebody else again
Domino motion
Jump starts when we touch
The blackout approaching
Here it comes now, wish me luck
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over in a flash
I can't remember,
What have I done now?
Go, go faster wider
More, more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering cloud
Go, go faster wider
More, more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering cloud
Oh, my head hurts
Oh dear, oh dear.
It's all over the papers
On the TV, wagging tongues
The artist's impression looks just like me, only... better
Don't blame, don't maim me, I can't help what I am
Oh, Lord knows I’ve tried to
Go, go faster wider
More, more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering cloud
Go, go faster wider
More, more get it down yeah
Dance, dance
Take me over glittering cloud
Today Will Be Better, I Swear!
[A resolution: she will get stronger, and she will be the person her grandfather and Corrine wanted her to be]
When can't get up to the cold morning light
But you don't get to sleep in, still dreaming
And everybody only wants to fight
You're up against never being right
When the worries of the world hold your feet
And there's little left to believe in
Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
Old pale memories of someone you knew
Keep crawling through the back of your mind
Still in time
And in the daylight you're crossing all your wires
You just never knew how to put out a fire
And the closet's been shaken with bones
Little reminders that you're out on your own
Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
Today, today, keep your head and drive again
There's nothing more to battle
And you go
Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong
Not a Pretty Girl
[Sheena is independent; she does not like relying on others, and she’s not some helpless damsel]
I am not a pretty girl
That is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distress
And I don't need to be rescued
So put me down punk
Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair
Isn't there a kitten
Stuck up a tree somewhere
I am not an angry girl
But it seems like
I've got everyone fooled
Every time I say something
They find hard to hear
They chalk it up to my anger
And never to their own fear
And imagine you're a girl
Just trying to finally come clean
Knowing full well they'd prefer
You were dirty
And smiling
And I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
And I am not a kitten
Stuck up a tree somewhere
And generally my generation
Wouldn't be caught dead
Working for the man
And generally I agree with them
Trouble is you gotta have yourself
An alternate plan
I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
And I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
And what if there are
No damsels in distress
What if I knew that
And I called your bluff
Don't you think every kitten
Figures out how to get down
Whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl
I don't really want to be a pretty girl
I want to be more than a pretty girl
See Who I Am
[She is a Summoner. She is a ninja. She is who she is, and she will do her part in saving the world]
Is it true what they say
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today
Come into my world
See through my eyes
Try to understand
Don't want to lose what we have
We've been dreaming
But who can deny
It's the best way of living
Between the truth and the lies
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end
Fear is withering the soul
At the point of no return
We must be the change
We wish to see
I'll come into your world
See through your eyes
I'll try to understand
Before we lose what we have
We just can't stop believing
cause we have to try
We can rise above
Their truth and their lies
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands
See who I am
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end.
I hear the silence
Preaching my blame
Will our strength remain
If their power reigns?
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands
this is not the end
I’m Not That Girl
[She’ll deny it forever, but it still hurts to see them together; Lloyd and Colette just seem meant to be]
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl…
Bring On The Day
[Sheena, when all is said and done, is finally no longer afraid to be herself-she’s gained the confidence and respect she for so long sought]
Well I'm feeling like I'm falling
I'm still on my feet
Reality is calling
That don't bother me
'Cause I'm on my way
I'm okay
I'm ready to get ready
Willing to get by
I'm able to imagine
What it's like to fly
Into the blue
Fall down too
Hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'Cause I just might get everything I need
Hey, hey, I'm givin' what it takes
I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be
So bring on the day
Like a diver in the water
Everything feels slow
But my caramel macchiato really gets me in the flow
And I'm on my way
Whatever it takes
Hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'Cause I just might get everything I need
Hey, hey, I'm givin' what it takes
I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be
So bring on the day
What you get is what you see
Open up your eyes
They'll set you free
It all works out eventually
You gotta keep on keepin' on
I can rock and I can roll
I know I wanna move, gotta take control
Watch out world, 'cause here I come
And I can't stop 'til I'm done
Hey, hey, I'm finally on my way
Hey, hey, c'mon bring on the day
'Cause I just might get everything I need
Hey, hey, I'm givin' what it takes
I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be
So bring on the day
Bring on the day
Gotta keep on keepin' on
Gotta keep on keepin' on
