Lightning

I can't go back now
いまさらねがおうと
Imasara negaou to
To what I was yesterday
きのうにもどれやしないんだ
Kinou ni modoreya shinain da
With a grip that reaches out
てのとどくきょうりでせいせい
Te no todoku kyouri de seizei
I’ll keep pushing through
わるあがきしていけ
Waruagaki shite ike

Still believing in sweet dreams
まだあまいゆめを
Mada amai yume wo
I never thought I’d say that
しんじてたなんてまさか
Shinjiteta nante masaka
The world’s true nature is a mess
せかいのほんしょうもさんざん
Sekai no honshou mo sanzan
We must have seen it together
いっしょにみてただろう
Isshoni miteta darou

There’s no way it’s not there
ないはずなどないんだ
Nai hazu nado nainda
The reason I keep living
いきてくりゆうは
Ikiteku riyuu wa
Even if it hurts so much
しぬほどつらくても
Shinu hodo tsuraku temo
Don’t stop until I die
しぬまでとまるな
Shinu made tomaru na
I have no regrets
こうかいなどしないから
Koukai nado shinai kara

Living is tough, isn’t it?
いきるのはつらいだろう
Ikiru no wa tsurai darou
I’m sure my wounds ache
きずぐちがいたむだろう
Kizuguchi ga itamu darou
People hold onto their burning lives
ひとはもえるいのちをだいて
Hito wa moeru inochi wo daite
In the end, they leave their will behind
さいごにそのいしをのこしていく
Saigo ni sono ishi wo nokoshiteku

Even if my body falls apart
このみがくちはてて
Kono mi ga kuchi hatete
And eventually fades away
やがてむくろさえきえても
Yagate mukuro sae kiete mo
The proof I lived, just that pride
いきたあかし、そのほこりだけは
Ikita akashi, sono hokori dake wa
Is not a lie
けしてうそじゃない
Keshite uso janai
So today, I carry this pain
だからきょうもいたみをつれて
Dakara kyou mo itami wo tsurete

Yesterday won’t come back
きのうはもうこない
Kinou wa mou konai
If I brush it off, I see blood
すりむけばちがみえる
Suri mukeba chi ga mieru
I think there’s no rescue
ようていちょうわのきゅうさいなど
Youtei chouwa no kyuusai nado
In this harmony of fate
ここにはないとおもえ
Koko ni wa nai to omoe

Today’s truth is just
めをうたがうような
Me wo utagau you na
A reality that makes me doubt
げんじつだけがきょうのしんじつ
Genjitsu dake ga kyou no shinjitsu
I’ll trudge through this muddy place
どろまみれのげんざいちを
Doro mamire no genzaichi wo
And keep moving forward
はいずってすすめ
Haizutte susume

If gentle memories
やさしつぎたきおくが
Yasashi tsugita kioku ga
Can make my eyes well up
めをうるませるなら
Me wo urumaseru nara
Then I’ll embrace it with both hands
ほうむれ、そのりょうてで
Houmure, sono ryoute de
The place where my heartbeat is
こどうのありかは
Kodou no arika wa
Is not a future that’s set in stone
かっこじゃなくみらいでもない
Kakko janaku mirai demo nai

Living is tough, isn’t it?
いきるのはつらいだろう
Ikiru no wa tsurai darou
Even tomorrow feels scary
あしたさえこわいだろう
Ashita sae kowai darou
People wander, and somehow meet
ひとはまよい、いつしかであう
Hito wa mayoi, itsushika deau
Those who sway the scales of life
いのちのてんびんをゆらすもの
Inochi no tenbin wo yurasu mono

The day I become a nameless star
なもないほしになるそのひ
Na mo nai hoshi ni naru sono hi
Even without a farewell
たむけなどなくても
Tamuke nado nakute mo
Shining brightly, just that pride
ししてかがやく、そのほこりだけは
Shishite kagayaku, sono hokori dake wa
Will be passed on
うけつがれていく
Uke tsugarete yuku
And I’ll know the reason I lived
そしていきたりゆうをしる
Soshite ikita riyuu wo shiru

People hold onto their burning lives
ひとはもえるいのちをだいて
Hito wa moeru inochi wo daite
In the end, they leave their will behind
さいごにそのいしをのこしていく
Saigo ni sono ishi wo nokoshite iku

Even if my body falls apart
このみがくちはてて
Kono mi ga kuchi hatete
And eventually fades away
やがてむくろさえきえても
Yagate mukuro sae kiete mo
The proof I lived, just that pride
いきたあかし、さいごほこりだけは
Ikita akashi, saigo hokori dake wa
Is the lightning that lights up the night sky
よぞらをこがすあのいなびかり
Yozora wo kogasu ano inabikari

It’s not a lie
けしてうそじゃない
Keshite uso janai
So today, I carry this pain
だからきょうもいたみをつれて
Dakara kyou mo itami wo tsurete
