Sometimes I’m faced with things that seem unreal
うそみたいなことも突きつけられる
uso mitai na koto mo tsukitsukerareru
Reality hits hard, no mercy here
現実は容赦なくある
genjitsu wa yousha naku aru
The dreams I want are like cat paw prints
叶えたい思いは猫の足跡
kanaetai omoi wa neko no ashiato
Sneaking up on me, catching me off guard
知らぬ間に忍び寄って詰まだてる
shiranu ma ni shinobiyotte tsumadateru

I’m feeling my way through, but
手探りで進むけれど
tesaguri de susumu keredo
I can’t tell what’s right or wrong
正解も間違いも
seikai mo machigai mo
Not right now
今はわからない
ima wa wakaranai

Even knowing there’s only cruel choices to make
残酷な選択しかないと知っても
zankoku na sentaku shika nai to shitte mo
If it’s for you, I’ll carry that weight
それが君のためならば背負う
sore ga kimi no tame naraba seou
Singing along with the sound of desire
欲望のまま合わせて唄う岩の音
yokubou no mama awasete ugatsu iwa no ne
From now on, we’ll face it together as one
立ち向かうこれからは二人でひとつ
tachimukau kore kara wa futari de hitotsu

What I want to step into and achieve
踏み入れて成したい成すべきことは
fumiirete nashitai nasu subeki koto wa?
The birds are drinking from the raw chair
鳥たちは生椅子飲む
toritachi wa namatsuba nomu
At the place we reach, flowers await
辿り着く場所には待ち受ける花
tadoritsuku basho ni wa machiukeru hana
Blooming wildly, waiting to fall and revive
乱れ咲き待って落ちて生き返る
midaresaki matte ochite ikikaeru

What I’ve planted and gained
植えて手に入れたものは
uete te ni ireta mono wa
Is both right and wrong
正解も間違いも
seikai mo machigai mo
The best of humanity
人の最良で
hito no sairyou de

No one can stop the seeds of conflict now
誰にももう止められない争いの種
dare ni mo mou tomerarenai arasoi no tane
I can only see vague clues
ぼんやりと手がかりだけ見える
bonyari to tegakari dake mieru
Even the fish hold their breath, searching for treasure
魚さえ息ひそめて宝を探す
sakana sae ikihisomete takara wo sagasu
To walk the thorny path, we’ll be one
いばら道進むため二人でひとつ
ibara michi susumu tame futari de hitotsu

I’m not the star of this story
この物語の主役じゃない
kono monogatari no shuyaku ja nai
It hurts like a beard pulling at my skin
髭が問えみたいに痛い
hige ga toe mitai ni itai
(She’s no longer here)
(彼女はもういない)
(kanojo wa mou inai)
I’m not the star of this story
この物語の主役じゃない
kono monogatari no shuyaku ja nai
But I won’t run, I’ll step in
でも逃げない踏み込む
demo nigenai fumikomu
(I’m ready for it)
(覚悟はできてる)
(kakugo wa dekiteru)

The mystery remains unsolved, I aim true
謎は解けないまま狙い定める
nazo wa hodokenai mama nerai sadameru
Bearing the burden of sin and morality
罪と道徳の難関背負う
tsumi to doutou no nankan seou
Aligning with the bear’s heavy fist
動網な熊の拳に十光合わせ
doumou na kuma no ken ni juukou awase
With this strength meant for you
君のためあるこの力で
kimi no tame aru kono chikara de
I want to protect until the end, together as one.
守りたい最後まで二人でひとつ
mamoritai saigo made futari de hitotsu
