静寂を従えながら

浮かんだ月の優しさを浴びる

僕の前を歩く影が

限りない光にどこまでも伸びた

安っぽくも滑稽なまでの

細く長い言い訳

While holding silence in its thrall

I bask in the moon's gentle grace

The shadow walking ahead of me

Stretches endlessly into the boundless light

So cheap and even comical

A thin and drawn-out excuse

Something intangible, yet

So undeniably real

That's how important things usually are

People walking through the town

Stop before the decorated mask of a blank face

The light outside leads destinations astray

Amidst diverse thoughts and views

They choose the same answer as others and keep it a secret

Breaking free from the darkness

Turning my back on a present different from the scene I drew

A shadow dragged by twilight, sinking low

The arrival of a season no one notices

And then...

The promise with you

To satisfy the yearning deep

A small hand reaching out that someone sees

The warmth that touches a frozen heart

Everyone is hiding it, and everyone seeks it

The emotion I squeeze out hard

The sound of it melting into the murky air

In the swirl of dry words

Where lies and truth are intertwined

That's how important things usually are

Repeating a check of the answers

Nodding back at a stranger's smile in the mirror

Even if an inner voice, lost in doubt,

Points me towards a different path

I choose the same answer as others and lock it away

Waiting for the morning

Embracing past mistakes and future fears alike

A shadow fading, transparent in the sunlight

Daily routines known by no one else

That's precisely why...

The promise with you
