Keep it simple stupid!
All hail the Crimson King
Bring the end of everything
All that you do, your undoing
The end, a new beginning
Remade in his image
He takes his revenge
This is the end of the world
This is the end of it all
He is not what he seems
A nightmare, a devil dream
Ending the world, breaking the beams
Fall into chaotic screams
So little time to spend
So many worlds to end
This motherfucker is crazy
This is the end of the world
This is the end of it all

time is pressed
like a leaf in a book
with coffee stained pages
on a shelf in the nook
grandma’s in the kitchen
standing at the stove
simple syrup simmers
with the sweet smell of cloves
down the street the pickup game
is picking up
your little brother’s new friend
has a magic touch
you hear the city waking up
with the noice and the heat
while you cool of in the shade
with a boom box beat
could it be another way
other than it is
these memories and postcards
from back when we were kids
could they all be written
in the pages of some book
i sit down with my coffee
and take a second look

Nights and days are just a blur
I've been waiting long for the phone to ring
time it seems is crawling my heart is ballin
just pinin' away
why don't you come around
i've been waiting for you to call
I clean up nice when i try
it don't take me long at all
i'll clean the house up fast
get rid of all the trash
but you got to call
why don't you come around
i've been waiting for you to call
i've got the wine i'll cook for you
make sure you have a pleasant time
just want your smile
even for a little while
it helps me to ease my mind
why don't you come around
i've been waiting for you to call
it's simple

Karakkishi
by Shu Nakamura 2021
(English Translation)
Isn't there any good story somewhere? I wouldn’t mind if it's worn out
I smoke a cigarette and look up, there is the same sky as usual
An old man looking into an empty bottle of cheap liquor, then he crouches down on the road
Counting the coins in his pocket again, starts singing with his husky voice
Wandering all the way, and I've come this far and my life didn’t change at all
I wanted to hit one big shot someday, but the night breeze is cold
Nobody cares about anything
I am Karakkishi
Always Karakkishi
Sing it, Lalala.... one more time, lalala...
A guy was whispered by the devil, listened to it and put his hands dirty, now he's still in Jail
He thought that "simple" and humble life is not suitable, now look at what he’s got
Wandering all the way, and I've come this far and my life didn’t change at all
I wanted to hit one big shot someday, but the night breeze is cold
Nobody cares about anything
I am Karakkishi
Always Karakkishi
Sing it, Lalala.... one more time, lalala...

Took a little trip
Went around this old world
Took a look inside
What I thought I might find
Found myself running
from what I found in myself
Wanted to run and hide
With a twinkle in your eye
Never known no mean
risk it all just to testify
I know you wanna
Be the one show me how to learn
How to keep it clean
breathe the air let the dead wood burn
And this is why
you can keep your valentines
Silver rings and champagne wine
These old things seem so insincere
In a quiet space, you start to glow
Watch your flower garden grow
It’s the simple things that brought me here
I used to think about
All that glittered was goals
As if the way of love
Was a gold-plated prize
But once I stopped running
Looked back from where I came
Saw you beneath blue skies
With a twinkle in your eye
Never known no mean
risk it all just to testify
I know you wanna
Be the one show me how to learn
How to keep it clean
breathe the air let the dead wood burn
And this is why
you can keep your valentines
Silver rings and champagne wine
These old things seem so insincere
In a quiet space, you start to glow
Watch your flower garden grow
It’s the simple things that brought me here

Say you love me but there ain’t nowhere to go to
Pulled a pistol lets take a ride and kill a few
Keep it quiet and wear a smile though it ain’t true
Don’t you worry it won’t be too long til they take you
My hands are tied
It’s a simple life
Loving you in the moment bent and broken
Hoping that you’ll say you love me
Lost and carefree through the debris of the coming tide
How you liking these digs it’s got such a great view
Quit your whining I’m only trying to love you
My hands are tied
It’s a simple life
Loving you in the moment bent and broken
Hoping that you’ll say you love me
Lost and carefree through the debris of the coming tide
Now it’s over and I wonder how I’ll pull through
Just a lover in a shallow grave what a breakthrough

Black on black will fade away
In shadows I will return one day
To see you to fall asleep inside
Where everyone will lie down to give their heart a rest
I’d like to show the ones I love that I’m ok
And tie my wicked hands up to a tree to be forgotten
Then they will dig me up one day and plant new seeds
That grow much deeper than me, so much stronger than me
And in this world of entertaining
You often fall from grace
Within this life we’re living
We lose a lot of faith
Black on black will fade away
I wish I’d painted you more vividly
To show the colors and streaks contained within you
You were so simple then, more sturdy than the numbers that were given
And in this world of entertaining
The shame you have to face
With the dirt they throw upon you
The madness you embrace

A Simple Way To Go
verse A E E A E A E D E….. 2x
chorus G F E A E E A E D
Rode along the edge of time
Looking for the celestial sign
Once mistaken as a guest
Now I standout from the rest
Now I look into the sun
I don’t look back
I’m the only one
You can Build me up
Or bring me down
Crown the King
Of the underground
Baby don’t you know
There’s a simple way to go
Baby don’t you know
a simple way to go
Kicking back with a bottle of wine
Took a turn to the other side
Now I know there’s no place to go
Make it real and take it slow
Baby don’t you know
There’s a simple way to go
Baby don’t you know
a simple way to go
Rode along the edge of time
Looking for the mystical sign
Once mistaken as a guest
Now I stand in the nest
Baby don’t you know
There’s a simple way to go
Baby don’t you know
a simple way to go

It's super simple
It just took a second
I'll be feeling bad tomorrow, so I reckon
I'll just fire up Netflix
I'll grin and bear it
I'm there in spirit
I did my part
