Lyrics

kyou mo muri wo suru mata nigete iru
egao no uragawa zutto naite iru
"fuzaken na" nante ienai yo
kokoro no kugi uso no umi ni shizumu

"kudannai sekai nara isso
tsuman naku ikite yarou" tte
futekusarete iratsuite mo
"yamete" no mugen ruupu
tanin e no iken sae mo
boroboro no mune ni shimau no
shiawase wo enjite iru no sa.

kyou mo muri wo suru mata nigete iru
egao no uragawa zutto naite iru
"fuzaken na" nante ienai yo
kokoro no kugi uso no umi ni shizumu

yume ni ochiru mata nigete iru
hontou no urami wa daremo shiranai kara
jikochuu ni narikirenai kara
jiga ga hoshī yo

English Translation

Today, overdoing again, and running away again.
Behind the smiles, was crying all the time.
Can't even say something like "Stop taking the piss!"
The nails pinned in the heart, sink into the ocean of lies.

"If it's a shitty world,"
"Let's live through it dully."
Even if we are desperate and frustrated,
The Infinite loop of "Stop it!"
Even if we give opinions to others,
Our hearts end in crumble.
Acting like we've gained happiness.

Today, overdoing again, and running away again.
Behind the smiles, was crying all the time.
Can't even say something like "Stop taking the piss!"
The nails pinned in the heart, sink into the ocean of lies.

Falling into the dream again, and running away again.
No one ever knows about our true grudge.
Can't even perfectly pretend like a egotism,
That's why we desire for ego.
