On a Pedastal

Written by: Juunana-Gou


You stand me on a pedestal
Like some unrelenting God.
I tell you I'm just a man
But my words fall on deaf ears.

Why can't you understand me, sister?
Why don't you realize?
I'm just the same as you are,
No more no less, we are the same.

You praise me as if I am omnipotent,
And even if I were,
You are my sister, my friend, my lover,
Don't place me higher than you are.

"It's lonely at the top," and what they say is true.
I love you, sister, but I am not an idol
to be worshipped like a king.
Please don't place me above yourself.

If I am so great to you, you cannot see my face.
If you place me on a pedastal, I can't hold you in my arms.
How could our fingers touch?
How could our kisses be?

You cannot keep me on this stool, futago,
You cannot keep me away from you, kirei,
You cannot keep my mind off you, boku no ai,
Juuhachi-Gou, I couldn't live if you did.
