Just Because 01:47
Would you believeā€ØIf I say I love youā€ØJust because youā€™ve said good nightā€ØBefore I cry I saw you thereā€ØWaiting for someoneā€ØTo come back and stay ā€ØTo find a way back home And then the sky has fallen on us No way to escape from the sunā€ØUntil we die Would you believe If I say I will save you Just because youā€™ve been kind to me Before I lie Just because youā€™ve waved good bye Before I go Just because I wasnā€™t old enough To see you cry

Today 03:11
I was listening to the storm outside of my window Thinking how are they supposed to stand the counterflow ā€ØThey were angry on the phone and did not know what they were told ā€ØThe man called again and expressed how he felt lostā€Ø Todayā€Øā€Ø The room was filled with crazy noises and fake plants Lousy music put on repeat from a silver box There are people I hate but I guess they hate me tooā€Ø Not even the one who I thought he understood Today Ah No one can survive Here I sit still, staring at the turning fanā€Ø Tabbing on the wood and wishing the rain could fall againā€Øā€Ø But the sun is bright and the sky is just as cleanā€Ø Thought of going up the hill but I couldnā€™t find the trail Today
4.
I once have an imagery of you It was in a dream Close to my wake up In it you have your hair tied up high A shining star in a sea of dust ā€Øā€ØI remembered the long dress that youā€™ve had In fact that's the only thing I recalledā€Øā€Ø No one came to see No one came to greet Your simile lingers in my heart Donā€™t let my fault tear us apart I couldnā€™t take one step towards you For if I do Iā€™ll break the scene of crimeā€Øā€Ø If only this was real I will be thrilled But in my dream I stood still But in my dream I stood still But in my dream I stood still

Hey 02:48
Hey I know my love is here to stay When she has no where else to goā€Ø Iā€™m gonna bring her to my room I once fell in love with you Lost my mind and soul Hey I know that you want me too Why donā€™t you stay there for a while Iā€™m gonna pick you up soon Cause we are heading out today Just to spend some time away Hey I thought youā€™d had a word to say When we have opened up to talk Romance seems to be so far away And then the day has slipped away I would drive you back home Hey I know my love is here to stay When she has no where else to go ā€ØIā€™m gonna bring her to my room I once fell in love with you Lost my mind and soul

Angel 03:26
In my head There is nothing in this world To think of a lie That I told myself to try There seems to be No position comforts me Sunk in the sea Just to find a place to be Isnā€™t it crazy? When we are all in a game Stop being lazy When he has opened the door Down the road There is one thing on that sign To think of my life There is something I wanted to try She seems to me An angel in disguise She waved goodbye And simply disappeared Isnā€™t it crazy? When we are all in a game Stop being lazy When he has opened the door
7.
Nobody Seems to feel the same ā€ØThey laugh Cause Iā€™m here to stay Iā€™ve got A song to sing This one ā€ØIs for you and me Tomorrow Iā€™ll get out of your life Donā€™t stop me Iā€™ll be dragging you down No more playing Cause I have made up my mind Someday ā€ØI will get out Soon enough Iā€™ll be knocking on your door Tomorrow Iā€™ll get out of your life Donā€™t stop me Iā€™ll be dragging you down No more playing Cause I have made up my mind No more playing Cause I have made up my mind (x2)

Simplicity 03:46
Will we see the end In this crazy trend Say something ā€ØAnything Will we find the truth Live with this burning youth Tomorrow Coming slow I always do things wrong Why donā€™t you come along This one time ā€Ø Just one time Would you? No colours in my eyes I have them in my mind Say somethingā€Ø Anything I get bored With that simplicity Tomorrow Coming slow Wake me up Fill me up This one time ā€Ø Just one time One more time I hate to tell you How things wonā€™t go the way we want to (repeat many times)

Jack 03:32
My love got to be true My car got to be new No oneā€™s getting through Iā€™m only singing the blues Hey Jack No more fun For you Time has come Too late My game have to be fun My food have to be good No one sings a song His failure gets me strong Hey Jack No more fun For you Time has come Too late Hey Jack No more fun For you Time has come Hey Jack Go have fun For you Time has come Too soon

Daisy 04:01
Hey mama Tell me what else can I say Nobody show me where to go Hey mama When today is not the day How long should I be waiting for? Hey papa Why do you have to go? She was there begging you to stay Lonely lonely lonely To be born is to be free When there is nothing to do Lovely lovely lovely Iā€™d like to touch your face When we are together Holy holy holy As the bible set me free Heaven is the place I want to go Oh Sally, Sally, Sally Weā€™ve met in the valley Wonā€™t you please go home with me Honey, honey, honey Your lips are sweet as honey But I have no money to get you Oh Daisy, Daisy, Daisy When the sky was just as hazy I thought we could have But in my dream That was all But a scream Iā€™m on my way To see my friend And then to pray Oh Sally how I love you Oh Honey how I want you Oh Daisy
11.
Unchain my heart While you still can Nobody knows When Iā€™ll be gone And as for now Youā€™re on my mind Unchain my heart I beg for you When you touch my hand It blows my blues away As for now There is only you When she has come into my life Everything would be alright Please donā€™t be gone when weā€™re done I would really do everything for you Unchain my heart Only you can do When the sky turns blue Iā€™ll be back with you But until then Iā€™m on my own
12.
When she left me on the seventh day No more waiting cause my heartbeat faded I drank it up and then I walked to the lawn I grabbed her throat till she breathes no more Laugh and dance and shake it till you die Want to know if a devil could hide I close the curtain when the sun still shine Now I know what Iā€™ve got to know Have a smoke and we shall know Laugh and dance and shake it till you die Waking up in a cold steel bed Its two in the morning and I felt so sad I left my suitcase on an empty street I hope it stays as the tree grows tall Laugh and dance and shake it till you die Till you die Till you die Till you die
13.
Some one told me so That one thing we should know The world keeps on changing Everyday Our mind would not rest Even when you sleep Now catch your breathes And see it through Cause you are not the only one to know A simple song Why make it difficult? Strum my guitar and sing Donā€™t let a good thing goes by
14.
You can do Anything you want Iā€™ll be with you If you want me to No, itā€™s okay I know how it feels When the rain keeps falling down I hate to be To get stuck in between Iā€™d rather be Watching you from a distance No, itā€™s okay I know how it feels When the rain keeps falling down No, itā€™s not true This is not the only way How they say it will be a different day You can do Anything you want Iā€™ll be with you If you want me to

about

"This Is Not A Good Day To Die" is the second full-length album from Hong Kong singer-songwriter Tomii Chan.

This album contains 14 tracks, produced over a 6 months period with more focused styles in blues, country, and folk music, comparatively speaking to the debut album of Tomii Chan.

To Tomii Chan, this is "A journey of self-questioning and an examination on contradictions, from man-women relationships to a wander around the exits and decisions of life while actions are often hindered by confusions in my world."
