This Illusion

This Illusion

I was dreaming
ユメにみていた
Yume ni miteita
For that person
あのひとために
Ano hito tame ni
What can I shout out
ことかなにさける
Koto kana ni sakeru
Tomorrow's me
あすのじぶんは
Asu no jibun wa
No matter how I say it
なんてえばいても
Nante ebai temo
Like a wish that won't disappear
きえないねがいのように
Kie nai negai no you ni

A fragment of a sound
ことねおしるかけらを
Koto ne oshiru kakera wo
In your hand
すかてそのてで
Sukate sono te de
The heart of a dream drawn
ユメのこころかかれて
Yume no kokoro kakarete
Let it flow into the future
とみこのでいけよるえ
Tomi kono deike yoru e
Even if I aim for someone
だれかをあてみしても
Dareka wo atemishitemo

The things I truly desire
もとなるものねがいのれから
Moto naru mononegai nore kara
These scars are here to stay
このならきずはここにひるて
Kono nara kizu wa koko ni hirute

Don't close your hands
てをとじねいなんて
Te wo toji nei nante
Let the wind carry you
かぜになかれて
Kaze ni nakare te
The pain of a puppet
からくたしみは
Kara kutashimi wa
Is a longing for summer
なつましみのこたろ
Natsu mashimi no kotaro
Tomorrow's me
あすのじぶんては
Asu no jibun te wa
No matter how I open up
なんてひらいても
Nante hiraitemo

The answer that doesn't come
とさかぬこたえなかつみ
To sa kanu kota e nakatsumi
Is in the sound of your hands
ことねそのなからてを
Koto ne sono na kara te wo

A single thought
ひとひらいおもい
Hito hirai omoi
Before I can grasp it
くしなけるそのまえで
Kushi na keru sono mae de
Let it flow into the future
とみこえせいけよるを
Tomi koe seike yoru wo
Even if I aim for someone
だれかをあてみしても
Dareka wo atemishitemo

The things I truly desire
もとなるものねがい
Moto naru mono negai
Don't close your hands
のれからてをとじねいなんて
Nore karate wo toji nei nante
Even if I just want to be alone
だれかをたったにひて
Dareka wo tatta ni hite
This closure is everything
このとじがすべてでいりしゃも
Kono toji ga subete de irishamo

I’ll quietly close my eyes
みぜとじうしまうわ
Mize toji ushi mau wa
And gently let go
そっとつけて
Sotto tsuke te
Just like that, I’m back again.
たったありのまたて
Tatta ari no mada te
