DAOKO - Achilles Ken

空が晴れて　風が吹いて
洗濯物がようく乾いてくれそうだわ
朝はパンです　さあ　駆け足で
社会の歯車回す　守りたい生活が
息が上がって立ち止まって
小休憩ばかり逆に疲れちゃうわ
溢れないよう　飲んで注いで
お腹膨れて水に流すしか無いよね
身体は容れ物　不便な日常
わたしだけが特別に出来が悪いだけだったら教えてほしい
ずっと大人になりたくて
背伸びし続けたらアキレス腱が切れたわ

夕焼け　とけてゆく
おひさま　みていた
水面は凪いでいる
こころも　ゆらゆら
そうだ　コンビニ寄ってから帰ろうかな
あなたに笑ってほしいこと
今日もたくさんあったんだよ

The sky is clear. A breeze comes by.
Laundry on the line will be nice and dry.
Breakfast is toast. I've gotta run, not coast.
To protect little things in life, I'm a cog in the wheel.
Out of breath. Stop for a second.
Small breaks over and over. I'm tired.
Drink before you pour some more.
I need to quench my thirst before it's water under the bridge.
My body is a container. It makes me a complainer.
Is it just me, that gets in so much trouble? 
Always wanted to be a grown-up.
Tried to stand taller and my Achilles tendon snapped.

The sun sets orange.
I gaze at it melting.
The water calmed down.
My heart sways and sways.
Maybe, I'll drop by a convenience store before I go home.
I can't wait to tell you all about today.
I hope I get to make you laugh.
