MONOCHROME

The aching in the unsatisfying grayscale
Certainty disappears and vanishes

I turned regrets into lies
The chipped blade deceived
Outside maintenance hours
Even though I knew it
The faded color is an irreversible truth
Praying is fine at best
We can't return anyway

Behind the determined resolve
Lingers doubt and anxiety
The torn-apart thoughts
Without gaining a single thing
More important than living
Carrying and dividing the monochrome

Seeking the solution to an unsolvable proposition
Choosing until the end
Remembering where we came from
A life that won't mix with any other can't be measured by anyone
In the moment of breaking
What kind of standard should I use to see it through
Embracing your words that gave meaning to my heart

I can't blame you, standing in the reversed good and evil
A flashback of the severed retreat echoes in my mind
Every narrow escape becomes vividly fatal

Looking back on the past days
Even if I resent them, they're nostalgic
In the hurried gaze, a bloated outdated inferiority
It seems meaningless to wash it away
Chose a color that won't ever harmonize again
Yet as far as I can see, an incomplete future

Flickering on the verge of disappearing
The repeated self-questioning
Nagging at the possibilities' limit
Is the tightened shooting range reckless
A heartbeat more important than living
Carrying and piercing the monochrome

Seeking the solution to an unsolvable proposition
Choosing until the end
Remembering where we came from
A life that won't mix with any other can't be measured by anyone
In the moment of breaking
What kind of standard should I use to see it through
Embracing your words that gave meaning to my heart

Always the antithesis
Filled with each frustrating, sad moment
An enormous enemy that's unbeatable
Is the darkness nesting inside myself
Discarding pleasure and superiority
Confused by the flocking incompleteness
Blackly etched illusion
Beyond the treacherous white night

Monotarinai gureesukeeru ni uzuku
Kakushin wa kiete naku natte

Koukai wa uso ni shita
Yaiba kobore azamuita
Mentenansu jikangai
Wakatteita noni
Aseta iro wa fukagyaku no kotowari
Seizei inoru mo yoi
Douse modorenai

Kimeta hazu no kakugo no ura
Tsukimatou mayoi to fuan
Haritsuketa omoi no taba
Nani hitotsu mo erarenai mama
Ikiru yori taisetsu na koto
Seotte wakatsu monokuroomu

Tokenai meidai no seikai o motomete
Erabitoru hateru made
Bokura ga doko kara kita no ka omoidasu
Mazaru koto no nai seimei o dare ni mo hakarenai
Kowareteku isshun de
Donna shakudo de misueta ra ii
Kokoro ni imi o ataete kureta kimi no kotoba o daite

Uragai shi no zen'aku ni tatazumu kimi o totemo togamerarenai
Zetta tairo ga furasshubakku suru nouri
Inochibiroi suru tabi chimeiteki ni senmei

Furikaeru sekijitsu
Urandemo natsukashii
Iki isogu manazashi ni hidai suru kataochi no rettou
Aratte mo muimi na you da
Nido to aierenu iro o eranda
Sore demo miwatasu kagiri mikans ei no mirai

Kiekakete wa mata tomoshita
Kurikaesu jimonjitou ga
Najiru kanousei no taga
Hikishiboru shateikyori wa mubou ka
Ikiru yori taisetsu na kodou
Seotte ugatsu monokuroomu

Tokenai meidai no seikai o motomete
Erabitoru hateru made
Bokura ga doko kara kita no ka omoidasu
Mazaru koto no nai seimei o dare ni mo hakarenai
Kowareteku isshun de
Donna shakudo de misueta ra ii
Kokoro ni imi o ataete kureta kimi no kotoba o daite

Itsu datte nirit suhaihan
Kuyashii kanashii no tabi ni michiru tsuki
Touteiteki wa nai kyodai na teki
Wa jibun no naka ni sukutteru yami
Yuetsu to yuuetsu o suteteiku
Mureru fuzen ni tomadou
Kuroku kizamu maboroshi
Adanasu byakuya no saki
