Tao

Lyrics & Music: Sakito

Not caring for this life that will someday disappear
I had no reason to protect it
Though a flower, it's a fruitless flower of the times
Until it struggles and withers

Walk and walk as I might, the standstill continues
That place I wished for is vaguely far off
Search and search as I might, it's nothing but imitations
The answer I seek wasn't here either

A demon with your face laughed at me
"There's no future for you" it said
If I change now, I will change again tomorrow
Biting my nails...

Not caring for this life that will someday disappear
I had no reason to protect it
If I'm not to bloom, I'll just take root
Until I wither right here

Brushing off the hand extended to me
I go forward little by little with heavy feet
Still, I strongly prayed
That there would be something ahead

Not caring for this life that will someday disappear
I had no reason to protect it
Though a flower, it's a fruitless flower of the times
Until it struggles and withers

My demise is slowly approaching
But if I have the wish to get through that
I'll look askance at those which are rotting
And the road will continue on

Tao

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Sakito

Douse itsuka ushinau inochi nara
Tsukawazu mamoru riyuu mo nai
Hana to iedomo jidai no adabana
Agake kareru made

Arukedo arukedo ashibumi wa tsudzuku
Nozonda kanochi wa haruka oboro ni
Sagasedo sagasedo nisemono bakari de
Motomeru kotae wa koko nimo nakatta

Kimi no kao shita oni ga waratta
"Omae ni mirai wa nai" to katatta
Ima wo kaereba ashita mo kawaru
Tsume wo kajitte

Douse itsuka ushinau inochi nara
Tsukawazu mamoru riyuu mo nai
Sakanu naraba tada ne wo oroshite
Koko de kareru made

Sashinoberareta sono te wo haratte
Kedarui ashi de sukoshizutsu mae e
Soredemo saki ni nanika aru n da to
Tsuyoku inotta

Douse itsuka ushinau inochi nara
Tsukawazu mamoru riyuu mo nai
Hana to iedomo jidai no adabana
Agake kareru made

Yukkuri to semarikuru owari wo
Norikoeru ishi areba koso
Kusari yuku mono wo yokome ni shite
Michi wa tsudzuite iku
