[Romaj] Lyrics:
Tohou mo nai jikan dake
Mata sugite yuku
Koko wa risoukyou de wa nai
Mashite ya egaita mirai janai
Owari no nai mirai nado
Nante kudaranai
Yume no sukima ni tou
Watashi wa doko e to yuku no
Tooi saki no hou e
Itami to aruiteita
Sawagashii machi no koe ga atama ni hibiku
Yume no soko de mogaku no nara
Kono yoru wo isso kuratte shimaitai
Akireru hodo ni soba ni ite
Oroka de ii nidoto nai
Ima wo ikiteitai dake
Sore dake da
Sukui no nai hanashi nara
Tou ni kikiakita
Sore wo yasashisa to itte hodasu nara
Yokei bakarashii
Itsuwari nai utsutsu nara
Nante kimama darou
Yume no sukima ni tou
Kurai yami no hou e
Futo me wo mukeru tabi ni
Kudaranai kotoba tachi ga kokoro wo mitasu
Yume no tochuu de mezameta nara
Kono yoru wa issou nigotte shimau darou
Fureta yubi ga hodokenu you ni
Ima wa tada negau mama
Hibi wo sugoshiteitai dake
Sore na no ni aimai na atatakasa de
Awai risou ni miirarete shimau
Kokoro hitotsu hakidasenai kuse ni
Migatte na watashi da
Yume no soko de mogaku no nara
Kono yoru wo isso kuratte shimaitai
Akireru hodo ni soba ni ite
Oroka de ii nidoto nai
Ima wo ikiteitai dake
Sore dake da

[Japanese] Lyrics:
途方もない時間だけ
また過ぎていく
此処は理想郷では無い ましてや
描いた未来じゃ無い
終わりのない未来など
なんて下らない
夢の隙間に問う
私は何処へと 行くの
遠い遠い先の方へ
痛みと歩いていた
騒がしい街の声が
頭に響く
夢の底でもがくのなら
この夜をいっそ喰らってしまいたい
呆れる程に傍にいて
愚かでいい 二度と無い
今を生きていたいだけ
それだけだ
救いのない話なら
とうに聞き飽きた
それを優しさと言って絆すなら
余計馬鹿らしい
偽りないうつつなら
なんて気儘だろう
夢の隙間に問う
私は何処へと行くの
暗い暗い闇の方へ
ふと目を向ける度に
下らない言葉達が
心を満たす
夢の途中で目覚めたなら
この夜は一層濁ってしまうだろう
触れた指が解けぬように
今はただ 願うまま
日々を過ごしていたいだけ
それなのに曖昧な温かさで
淡い理想に魅入られてしまう
心ひとつ吐き出せないくせに
身勝手な私だ
夢の底でもがくのなら
この夜をいっそ喰らってしまいたい
呆れる程に傍にいて
愚かでいい 二度と無い
今を生きていたいだけ
それだけだ

[English] Lyrics:
An absurd amount of time
Just passes by me again
Now, this place I'm in is no utopia,
Much less the future I've imagined
A boundless future, or whatever—
How absolutely worthless the idea is
I ask the gaps in-between my dreams:
Where shall I go now?
I walked with my pain
To the distant, distant beyond
And the noise of the voices in the city
Just echoes within my head
If I'm stuck struggling here, at the bottom of my dreams,
I'd rather consume this night whole for all I'm worth
Just stay by my side until I start to disgust you;
Even if it's stupid, this won't happen again,
And I just want to live in the moment,
That's all
When it comes to these stories with no salvation,
I've long since grown tired of hearing them.
If you're going to try and shackle me by calling that kindness,
Then that's just too absurd.
If this were an honest reality,
How willful would that be for me?
I ask the gaps in-between my dreams:
Where shall I go now?
Everytime I would turn my eyes
Towards the dark by accident,
These worthless words
Just filled my heart up to the brim
And if I am to wake up in the middle of this dream,
The night shall grow ever murkier.
So as not to unlink our joined hands,
Right now, I just wish
To live my days as they come.
Even so... With this ambiguous warmth,
I find myself fascinated by those fleeting ideals.
Even though I still can't bring myself to open up my heart—
How selfish I am.
If I'm stuck struggling here, at the bottom of my dreams,
I'd rather consume this night whole for all I'm worth
Just stay by my side until I start to disgust you;
Even if it's stupid, this won't happen again,
And I just want to live in the moment,
That's all.
