*(Verse 1)*  
Misty morning, cold tiles beneath my feet  
Found you in the kitchen, where the shadows meet  
Your eyes were looking distant, the coffee was untouched  
You laughed to hide your crying, but I knew you hurt too much  

*(Chorus)*  
And we had mochis for breakfast,  
Sweetness to drown out the pain  
Soft and silently chewy,  
Like whispering rain  
Your smile was just as fleeting  
As mochis’ sugar haze,  
Melted by the morning light,  
Vanished without a trace  

*(Verse 2)*  
I asked about your evening, you shrugged and looked away  
The silence spoke in volumes, of the words we couldn't say  
Another spoon of sugar, another veil of smiles  
We're drifting on this sugary cloud, adrift in sweet denial  

*(Chorus)*  
And we had mochis for breakfast,  
Sweetness to drown out the pain  
Soft and silently chewy,  
Like whispering rain  
Your smile was just as fleeting  
As mochis’ sugar haze,  
Melted by the morning light,  
Vanished without a trace    

*(Verse 3)*  
Now the rain taps at the window, with a rhythm so unsure  
Matches the beat of these mochis, and the heartache they obscure  
Will we ever talk about it, or will it always be  
This breakfast made of mochi, and quiet misery?

*(Chorus)*  

*(Chorus)*  
And we had mochis for breakfast,  
Sweetness to drown out the pain  
Soft and silently chewy,  
Like whispering rain  
Your smile was just as fleeting  
As mochis’ sugar haze,  
Melted by the morning light,  
Vanished without a trace  

*(Outro)*  
So we’ll have mochis again tomorrow,  
A tradition of pretend,  
Hiding sorrows in sweet rice,  
Until the very end.
