Kanji:

悲しみ連鎖の中で僕らの
願いが届くまで…

大事なものまた１つ
モノクロの空へと消える
隠したキズ冷たく震え
自分の居場所を探す

常識に従うこの世界で
どうしようもできないことを壊していきたくて
閉ざしたココロ叫んでいる

悲しみ連鎖の中で僕らは
自分さえも見失いそうになって
曖昧な答えはイラナイ
確かな今 追いかけて…

静かに昇る太陽に
誓った「もう迷わない」と…
いつかここで枯れない花を
咲かせられると信じて

つまずいて見つけた “アイ”の欠片
この両手で握りしめた
もう２度と失くしたくはないから守り続ける

悲しみ連鎖の中で僕らが
自分らしく生きていく意味はきっと
形のないシアワセに気づいていくこと
見つけたから…

悲しみ連鎖の中で僕らは
自分さえも見失いそうになって
曖昧な答えはイラナイ
確かな今 追いかけて…

悲しみ連鎖の中で僕らが
自分らしく生きていく意味はずっと
ゆるがない想いを強く胸に刻んで
鎖(つな)いでいく

English:

We’ll be bound with the Chains of Sadness
until our wish reaches…

A precious thing once again
disappear into the Monochrome Sky…
My hidden scars shiver in coldness
and I search for my own whereabouts.

Abiding by the common sense of this world,
I want to shatter the things I should do and things I can’t do…
My closed up heart is screaming…

Bound with the Chains of Sadness, it seems we
are about to lose sight of our own self…
We don’t need an ambiguous answer,
we simply chase after this certain present.

In the quietly rising sun,
I vowed to myself “I won’t be confused anymore”…
One day, I’ll make the Unwilting Flower of my heart
blossom…I truly believe I will.

I trip on a fragment of “Love” I found,
I held it with both hands,
I don’t want to lose it once again, I’ll continue to protect it.

We’re bound with the Chains of Sadness,
I’m sure there is a meaning to the way we are living…
because I have realized something in this
shapeless happiness…

Bound with the Chains of Sadness, it seems we
are about to lose sight of our own self…
We don’t need an ambiguous answer,
we simply chase after this certain present.

We’re bound with the Chains of Sadness,
I’m sure there is a meaning to the way we are living…
I forcibly carve my unwavering feelings into my heart,
binding them there.
