I

Lyrics & Composition: Motoo Fujiwara

There's no time - this is a mere flicker of life
When we overlap, we end up drifting apart
Aah, I've gotta tell you. What was it again?
So let's remember today, together

Even though it's this important
how can I properly and truly cherish it?
Aah, just once is enough. I want to see the real truth
We're all bubbles, within a flicker

A place where unbearable pain was born
You're there, aren't you? I ended up hearing it
Voices of beginnings made by pulsing memories
still vivid even though cracked

Now I've finally found it
I've come this far. I can touch it now
With all the courage I've gathered and stored
I'm right before you as you live

After using up every trick and gimmick
this curse won't allow us to give up
Aah, the wish I'd gripped so tightly
for so long is the magic that gave me the world

A rain that never dries, a night in midday
You brought them with you for so long, didn't you? And that's how we met
My body still breathes, circulating blood through the pain
as if wanting to know the meaning for it

We call out to each other now
We can check our heartbeats against each other
What do you want to get back? You're not alone
I'll live too for this night

Words shattered, transcending their limit
My eyes capture you so clearly
I'll recall - thank you
I'm sure I'd been waiting for this moment

Now I've finally found it
I've come this far. I can touch it now
Even if it hurts, with all my courage
I will live with you

We call out to each other now
We can check our heartbeats against each other
What do you want to get back? You're not alone
I'll live too, I'll live with you, I'm here for that

I

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Fujiwara Motoo

Jikan ga nai koko wa inochi no matataki no naka da
Kasanattara hanarete shimau
Aa tsutaenakute wa nani wo dattakke
Sore ja omoidasou kyou bokura de

Kore dake taisetsu nanoni
Dou yareba chanto tadashiku taisetsu ni dekiru
Aa ichido dake de ii hontou on hontou ga mitai yo
Minna shabondama matataki no naka

Watasenai itami no umareta basho
Soko ni iru'n daro kikoete shimatta
Hibiwarenagara azayaka na mama no
Myakuutsu kioku de tsukurareta hajimari no koe

Saa yatto mitsuketa
Koko made kita mou sawareru yo
Atsumete shimatte oita yuuki no zenbu de
Kimi no ikiru sono mae ni iru

Arayuru tane mo shikake mo tsukaihatashita ato no
Akirame wo yurusanai noroi
Aa totemo tsuyoku nagai aida nigitte ita
Negaigoto sekai wo kureta mahou

Kawakanai ame wo hakuchuu no yoru wo
Zutto tsurete kita'n daro soushite deaeta
Imada karada wa iki wo suru itami ni chi wo meguraseru
Sono imi wo shiritagaru you ni

Yobiau ima
Kodou on kotaeawase ga dekiru
Nani wo torikaeshitai no hitori ja nai ze
Boku mo ikiru sono tame no yoru

Kotoba wa genkai wo koete kudaketa
Moumaku wa kimi wo tashika ni toraeru
Omoidasou arigatou
Kitto kono toki wo matte ita

Saa yatto mitsuketa
Koko made kita mou sawareru yo
Kizutsuketa to shitemo yuuki no zenbu de
Kimi to ikiru

Yobiau ima
Kodou on kotaeawase ga dekiru
Nani wo torikaeshitai no hitori ja nai ze
Boku mo ikiru kimi to ikiru sono tame ni iru

I
