Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
「虐めないでよ」って泣いてばっかり	"ijimenaide yo" tte naite bakkari	All I do is cry out, "Stop bullying me."
震えちゃうのも仕方ないのです	furuechau no mo shikata nai no desu	I can't help but tremble.
孤独を敏感に恐れている	kodoku o binkan ni osorete iru	I'm keenly afraid of being alone.
少年の僕を『勇気』は嫌った	shounen no boku o "yuuki" wa kiratta	"Courage" hated a boy like me.
同じ様に雨に濡れている	onaji you ni ame ni nurete iru	You, a dog, were soaking wet in the rain like me
子犬に理解を求めていた	koinu ni rikai o motomete ita	so I wanted you to understand me.
自分勝手に抱き寄せていた	jibun katte ni dakiyosete ita	Selfishly, I held you close,
「君は僕を虐めないよね？」って言って	"kimi wa boku o ijimenai yo ne?" tte itte	"You won't bully me, will you?"
「『友達』になろう。	"'tomodachi' ni narou.	"Let's be 'friends.'
言葉じゃないところでさ。	kotoba ja nai tokoro de sa.	We can't exchange any words.
話がしたいよなぁ」	hanashi ga shitai yo naa"	Though it'd be nice to talk with each other, huh?"
そんな僕に　悲劇が待ってた	sonna boku ni higeki ga matteta	But a tragedy was waiting for me.
聞こえたんだ　声が盛大に	kikoetanda koe ga seidai ni	I heard loud voices
閉ざした脳を　ノックする	tozashita nou o nokku suru	knock on my closed-off mind.
「あいつは汚い」「そいつを騙そう」	"aitsu wa kitanai" "soitsu o damasou"	"That guy's so gross." "Let's mess with him."
「大嫌い」「死んじゃえよ」 なんて	"daikirai" "shinjae yo" nante	"I hate you." "Just go die." and so much more.
『思いの声』が一斉に	"omoi no koe" ga issei ni	The voices of people's thoughts come all at once.
拒んでいたってノックする	kobande ita tte nokku suru	No matter how I refuse them, they keep on knocking.
言葉にしない心が　突き刺さって	kotoba ni shinai kokoro ga tsukisasatte	They stab into my unspoken mind.
もう泣きそう	mou nakisou	I'm gonna cry.
「希望を願った罰だ」って	"kibou o negatta batsu da" tte	"That's what you get for wishing for hope."
孤独網の騒音は	kodoku mou no souon wa	The noise from this web of loneliness
僕にこんな代償を	boku ni konna daishou o	implanted this restitution
植え込んでいた	uekonde ita	into me.
そして今日も声は責め立てる	soshite kyou mo koe wa semetateru	And today, too, the voices lambaste me.
流れ込んで　僕を溶かしていく	nagarekonde boku wa tokashite iku	They flow in, melting me.
他人の　心理を盗み取れる	hito no shinri o nusumitoreru	I stole the mentalities of others.
面妖な僕を　誰もが嫌った	men'you na boku o dare mo ga kiratta	The strange and weird me who everyone hated.
逃げ出そうと　外へ飛び出せ	nigedasou to soto e tobidase	Trying to escape, I jumped past others to outside the city
ここじゃもう　息も出来ないから	koko ja mou iki mo dekinai kara	because I can't even breathe here anymore.
街の憎悪の　目を避けてさ	machi no zouo no me o sakete sa	As I avoided the city's eyes filled with hate,
僕はそっと　駆け出した　何処かへと	boku wa sotto kagedashita dokoka e to	I quietly ran out to... somewhere.
迷い込む森	mayoikomu mori	I lost my way in the forest.
行き場の無い静けさに	ikiba no nai shizukesa ni	Aimless amid its stillness.
また怯えちゃう様な	mata obiechau you na	Just as I felt I'd get scared again,
そんな僕を　誰かが待っていた	sonna boku o dareka ga matte ita	there was someone waiting for me.
聞こえたんだ 「今日も淡々と	kikoeta nda "kyou mo tantan to	I could hear it.
描いた『今日』を待ってるの。	egaita 'kyou' o matteru no	A "I'm still waiting for the 'today' I'd so dispassionately imagined.
誰かお願い　ここから	dareka onegai koko kara	Somebody please
助け出してよ　寂しいよ」なんて	tasukedashite yo samishii yo" nante	get me out of here. I'm so lonely." and things like that.
『思いの声』は逡巡な	"omoi no koe" wa shunjun na	The voice of their thoughts
昨日の僕の様なんだ	kinou no boku no you nanda	was like the hesitant boy I was yesterday.
「『心』が怖い？」	"'kokoro' ga kowai?"	"Are you scared of their/your true self?"
「明日を変える『勇気』も足りない？」	"ashita o kaeru 'yuuki' mo tarinai?"	"You don't have enough courage to change tomorrow?"
「そんなことない」とノックした	"sonna koto nai" to nokku shita	A "...That's not true" knocked on my mind.
物語は繊細で	monogatari wa sensai de	This story is delicate
僕はそっと慎重に	boku wa sotto shinchou ni	so gently and carefully,
開いていた	hiraite ita	I opened it up.
踞った少女は言った	uzukumatta shoujo wa itta	The cowering girl said,
「昨日も、今日も、一昨日も	"kinou mo, kyou mo, ototoi mo	"Today, yesterday, and the day before that,
広い世界が簡単に崩れちゃう	hiroi sekai ga kantan ni kuzurechau	I dreamt of the whole wide world
夢を見ていた」	yume o mite ita"	falling apart as easily as with a snap of a finger."
「怖いよ」なんて感情も	"kowai yo" nante kanjou mo	That feeling of "I'm scared"
「辛いよ」なんて泣き声だって	"tsurai yo" nante nakigoe datte	and that voice crying "It hurts,"
絵本みたいに、救い出してしまえたなら？	ehon mitai ni, sukuidashite shimaeta nara?	what if I stopped it like a hero in a picture book?
芽生えた今日の感情を	mebaeta kyou no kanjou o	Knocking on your mind with a voice
絞った声で　ノックして	shibotta koe de nokku shite	wrung with all the feelings that sprouted in me today,
君に話そう	kimi ni hanasou	I say to you,
「それでも、大丈夫だよ。泣かないでよ」って	"soredemo, daijoubu da yo. nakanaide yo" tte	"Everything's gonna be alright, so don't cry."
『思いの声』の心臓を	"omoi no koe" no shinzou o	If we could laugh with
包んで笑い合えたなら	tsutsunde waraiaeta nara	the heart of the 'voices of thoughts'
『心を救う心』を	"kokoro o sukuu kokoro" o	then I suppose a "a heart that saves hearts"
僕は『勇気』と呼べそう	boku wa "yuuki" to yobesou	could be called "courage."
進み始めた毎日の	susumi hajimeta mainichi no	The me who continues to move forward every day
僕は今日も平凡で	boku wa kyou mo heibon de	is still as ordinary as always.
ドアの外の声は　もう	doa no soto no koe wa mou	And the voices behind the door
聞こえない	kikoenai	can no longer be heard.
