Romanized Lyrics

Soto kara mado wo kugutta hikari ga yuka ni tsukutta saisho no tomodachi
Karappo no te wo tayasuku torarete tsuredasarete kara yume no naka

Ikutsu ka no futsuu ga kasanari au to tokidoki soko ni wa mahou ga yadoru
Are wa osoraku akuma datta are kara samenai yume no naka

Kago no naka tori ga naite kizuita
Nakushite ita koto mou hikikaesenai koto

Doushite karada wa ikitagaru no kokoro ni nani wo motomete iru no
Hai ga suikonda tsuzuki no sekai nando demo haita inochi no akashi
Saa ima kagi ga mawaru oto sagashimono ga sasayaku yo
Akai chi ga meguru sono subete de mienai ito wo taguriyosete

Yoru to asa kara hazureta mama de semarare tsuzukeru shusa sentaku
Nani wo dore dake sashidashita to shite mo todokanai hodo no takaramono

Torimodoshitai no ka akogareta no ka kagaribi no mukou yurete kieru
Sorosoro yukou ka mada koko ja nai doko made samenai yume no naka

Mada saki e susumu to iu no naraba
Yoake made fukinukete iku kaze no uta wo

Dare ga kietemo hoshi wa mawaru ashita ga ima wo kako ni shite iku
Zankoku na made ni kanpeki na sekai dokoka de mata tsumazuita ari
Imada hibiku shinzou no doramu sore shika nai to michibiku yo
Utagai nagara sono subete de shinjita ashi ga hakonde kureru

Doushite karada wa ikitagaru no kokoro ni nani wo motomete iru no
Shoukori mo naku tsunaida sekai nando demo haita inochi no akashi
Saa ima kagi ga mawaru oto sagashimono ga sasayaku yo
Akai chi ga meguru sono subete de mienai ito ga tokeru basho e

English Lyrics

The light that came in through the window from outside
Became my first friend on the floor
My empty hands were easily taken
And I was led into the dream

Sometimes, when a few ordinary things overlap
There is magic in it
That was probably the devil
In this dream that I can't wake up from

The bird in the cage chirped and I realized
That I had lost something
That I can't turn back from

Why does the body want to live?
What does the heart seek?
The world that my lungs inhaled
The proof of life that I exhaled countless times
Come on now, the sound of the key turning
The lost thing whispers
With all of this, the red blood flowing
Pull the invisible thread

Still outside the night and morning
I am constantly faced with choices
No matter how much I offer
It is a treasure that is out of reach

Do you want to get it back?
Did you dream of it?
It sways and disappears beyond the bonfire
Shall we go soon? It's not here yet
In this dream that I can't wake up from

If we are to go on
Let us sing the song of the wind that blows through until dawn

Even if someone disappears, the stars will still move
Tomorrow will make today the past
A world that is cruelly perfect
Somewhere, an ant stumbled again
The drum of the heart still beats
It will guide you, saying that it is the only thing
With doubt in all of this
Your believing feet will carry you

Why does the body want to live?
What does the heart seek?
The world that I connected again and again
The proof of life that I exhaled countless times
Come on now, the sound of the key turning
The lost thing whispers
With all of this, the invisible thread unravels

Japanese Lyrics

外から窓をくぐった光が 床に作った最初の友達
空っぽの手を容易く取られて 連れ出されてから夢の中

幾つかの普通が重なり合うと 時々そこには魔法が宿る
あれは恐らく悪魔だった あれから醒めない夢の中

籠の中 鳥が鳴いて気付いた
失くしていた事 もう引き返せない事

どうして体は生きたがるの 心に何を求めているの
肺が吸い込んだ 続きの世界 何度でも吐いた 命の証
さあ今 鍵が廻る音 探し物が囁くよ
赤い血が巡る その全てで 見えない糸を手繰り寄せて

夜と朝から外れたままで 迫られ続ける取捨選択
何をどれだけ差し出したとしても 届かないほどの宝物

取り戻したいのか 憧れたのか 篝火の向こう揺れて消える
そろそろ往こうか まだここじゃない どこまで醒めない夢の中

まだ先へ進むというのならば
夜明けまで吹き抜けていく風の唄を

誰が消えても星は廻る 明日が今を過去にしていく
残酷なまでに完璧な世界 どこかでまた躓いた蟻
未だ響く心臓のドラム それしかないと導くよ
疑いながら その全てで 信じた足が運んでくれる

どうして体は生きたがるの 心に何を求めているの
性懲りも無く繋いだ世界 何度でも吐いた 命の証
さあ今 鍵が廻る音 探し物が囁くよ
赤い血が巡る その全てで 見えない糸が解ける場所へ
