Waiting Here (2026) Ohkaya 🇺🇸 USA

Time and time again
I fall away into silent suffering
Ive tried to change myself, but I'm dancing on the liquid ledge
I wanna feel
So I'll drink until I see morning light
Now what will it take to stop this silent suffering?
Liquor, my love?
(You can stay forever)
I'm medicated
And so alone
Asphyxiated
By the thoughts I can't control
I'm medicated
And so alone
Asphyxiated
By the thoughts I can't control
You motherfucker
Time is gone and wasted
Time is gone and wasted
Oh
(You can stay forever)
I'm medicated
And so alone
Asphyxiated
By the thoughts I can't control
I'm medicated
And so alone
Asphyxiated
By the thoughts I can't control
Think once
Drink twice a day
Oh, what a wasted life
Think once
Drink twice a day
Oh, what a wasted life
Time is gone and wasted
Time is gone and wasted

We dance where darkness ends, in realms that bend and break all common sense
A love not bound by flesh, profound confessions breathe new life again
A living contradiction, lost in fiction, waiting to ascend
A haunting premonition, evanescent til we meet again
I cannot believe
In a love bound by the ether
Are you here with me
Are you here
Will heaven deny us
How could I know
The ether divides us
I won't let go
We'll dream of a place that we can call home
Til' we meet again
A void in the chaos sits where silent glimpses breach our hearts again
A love of immortal essence, caught in seconds, felt beyond the ends
I cannot believe
Are you here
Will heaven deny us
How could I know
The ether divides us
I won't let go
We'll dream of a place that we can call home
Til' we meet again
You're my immortal soul
Everlasting life
I'm holding on, holding on
You're my eternal glow
Even in the night
I'm holding on, holding on
I cannot believe
In a love bound by the ether
Are you here with me
Are you here
Will heaven deny us
How could I know
The ether divides us
I won't let go
We'll dream of a place that we can call home
Til' we meet again
You're my immortal soul
Everlasting life
I'm holding on, holding on
You're my eternal glow
Even in the night
I'm holding on, holding on

So, how many times have I opened my eyes to a world unknown
It was once a home
Oh, how many times have we seen this divide with no place to go
I want to know
Make no mistake, we're all so lost
With weary hands and spiteful tongues
It seems today we'd rather talk than understand
So lift us up out of the unknown
From where the walls carry our echoes
You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows
To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)
So how many times have our rivers run dry
And our forests glow with flames that eat our homes
And how many times must our own children die
In these hallowed halls, repaint the classroom walls oh
So, tell me if you wanted to
You know I would follow you
Don't assume we could not be any better
So lift us up out of the unknown
From where the walls carry our echoes
You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows
To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)
Oh, this anthem's of a fraying flag, stripes drenched inchemicals
Spit out what they have force fed you, and pull the curtain up
So, tell me if you wanted to
You know I would follow you
Don't assume we could not be any better
And just before I have to go, take me to a place I know
Not too soon, waiting for the perfect moment
Oh
Lift us up
Out of the unknown
So lift us up out of the unknown
From where the walls carry our echoes
You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows
To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)
So lift us up
Out of the unknown
You've heard our cries
But stayed in the shadows (out of the unknown)

Sedated, I walk alone
I caught her at midnight with another soul
Premeditated adultery
You've casted a shadow of a love incomplete
Say that you're sorry 'cause I'm on the fence
You say that you love me, but I'm not convinced
A lie is a virtue when you're born to sin
Believe me; I know
Tempted by a sweeter soul
Pure intoxication comes and takes its hold
I'm giving up, but can't let go
Do you feel the pain you've caused
Blood-stained writing on the walls
I can't think of anyone as heartless and hurtful as you, my love
Say that you're sorry 'cause I'm on the fence
You say that you love me, but I'm not convinced
A lie is a virtue when you're born to sin
Believe me; I know
How do I fix what's broken
Say that you're sorry, and I'll understand
Oh no
Say it's an honest mistake
Catch me at midnight or I'll walk alone
I won't let you take what you wanted from me
So catch me at midnight or I'll walk alone
Say that you're sorry 'cause I'm on the fence
You say that you love me, but I'm not convinced
A lie is a virtue when you're born to sin
Believe me; I know
How do I fix what's broken
Say that you're sorry, and I'll understand

Lost in a dark ocean, caught beneath the currents
If I could you hear talk, you'd always make the wrongs seem more than perfect
How could I continue to live but never love again
Send me a sign I have nothing left
When all is lost and the wind cries her name
Just let her know I won't be long
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
Familiar moments when everything seemed certain
You would rest your head next to me in bed and dream of what life could be
For now I'll continue to paint your face in starlit skies
Please astral eyes, blink and bring her back
Where we can live eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
So hard to see through teary eyes
Still captivated by your light
If I could bring you back to life
I'd hold you tight my dear, tonight
Eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
In the garden's where I'll be
With my love eternally
If there's any other way
I would like to make you stay
Lost in a dark ocean, caught beneath the currents

Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
Right now, you can't convince me, you're not addicted to every
Little lie they say to make amends
You need to live and just let it go
Oh, and if you fall apart
Let them feel like they've won
And leave it behind
I'd think you know by now
A broken home built your enemies
So just let them go and
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
And make it alright
A penny for your thoughts
Nah, I know what you're thinking
And even though I'm someone you can believe in
I really wanna know
What would you say to me
Right now, you can't convince me of anything I haven't told myself
Just let them go and save yourself and
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go
Break free from everyone who take, leave
Have never loved your innocent eyes
Just let them go

Can't figure out what's wrong with me
Something's getting away
Can't fix all the pain inside of me
Nothing's going to change
It eats away at me and now you're my only escape
But if I don't learn how to breathe on my own I'm dead
Oh
Hold me close
I'm dying on the inside
Hoping that it's alright
And I won't stay long
I know I've got to go on
Save yourself for someone else
This shadow's hanging over like a storm that's on the way
And I can't bear the weight
Fuck
I hear them calling
(Would you be surprised by the way that they are celebrating?)
Hold me close
I'm dying on the inside
Hoping that it's alright
And I won't stay long
I know I've got to go on
Save yourself for someone else
Take me far away from this place
So I can let go
And close my eyes
'Cause either way you have so much more life
So hold me close
And say goodbye
Cherish the things in life that leave you terrified
Hold me close
Hold me close
I'm dying on the inside
Hoping that it's alright
And I won't stay long
I know I've got to go on
Save yourself for someone else
Take me far away from this place
Save yourself for someone else
