Make or Break (Dead Line)

Catboss.

6 minutes • December 20, 2018

“But Neku, I thought you couldn't afford to lose. Give up on yourself, and you give up on the world.” - Joshua I conceptualized this as a mad-rush-for-the-finish type thing during the missions on the last few days, and I wanted to go real h a r d. You can blame Pendulum for inspiring this track.

Lyrics

It was in the black box
Turn out the light
You feel the rave and soothing waves
Take off your shirt
Turn up the music
The shower of lies feels so good

(One, two, three, four)
Make or break, I won’t run away
Make or break, time won’t wait for you

You know how to treat me, tell me what you want
The hum of the breeze is all I hear
Inhale and exhale, let me stay with you
I need you closer every now and then

Make or break, take what you want
I won’t run away
Sick of our criteria
Time won’t wait for you
“I, my, me” no matter what
I can’t run away
Scratch out massive data
I’m inside of you

Make or break, take what you like
I won’t run away (break, break, break, break)
Make or break, no matter what
Time won’t wait for you (break, break, break, break)
Make or break, what’s wrong with you
I am all the same (break, break, break, break)
Make or break, the only one
I’m inside of you (break, break, break, break)

Make or break, I won’t run away
Make or break, time won’t wait for you

You know how to deceive me, kick over the trace
All by myself, bearing it
Forget me not, you’re the only one
I miss your heart every night and day

I think you heard me
Don’t get inside of me
In a fret, unaccepted with nothing left
Just like a charm
No doubt, no harm
The pleasant water feels so good

(You know how to deceive me, kick over the trace)
(All by myself, bearing it)
(Forget me not, you’re the only one)
(I miss your heart every night and day)

Make or break, take what you want
I won’t run away
Sick of our criteria
Time won’t wait for you
Don’t you know what’s wrong with you
I am all the same
Light up one last candle
How daring you are

Make or break, take what you like
I can’t run away
Make or break, no matter what
Time won’t wait for you
Make or break, what’s wrong with you
I am all the same
Make or break, last candle
How daring you are

Make or break, take what you want
I am all the same
Light up one last candle
How daring you are
“I, my, me” no matter what
I can’t run away
Scratch out massive data
I’m inside of you
