Kanji:

夜に閉じこめられた子は

無表情に息を止めた

「だってどうしようもないことばかりじゃない

変えられない世界で溺れている

open your eyes

沈む影　どんな今でも　これが現実

自由とは何？

あなたがくれた痛みが

愛かもしれないとひとりで期待してた

僕を淘汰する

シャーデンフロイデは要らん

態とらしいドラマティックには飽きた

discordに耽美して

不条理“仕方ない”なんて

いつまで言えるのか

どれだけ諦めれば気が済むんだろう

笑える

壊れても生きて

期待外れのendroll

何度も折れた心で僕は続く

息を吸う毎に

錆びていく体だから

剥がれ落ちる僕も認めて戦うだけだ」

elegyに少しも表情を変えず

夜の中息をはじめる

English:

A child trapped in the night

Stopped breathing, expressionless.

「There’s nothing we can do about any of this!

We’re drowning in a world we can’t change.

open your eyes

The shadows sink. But no matter how it seems right now, this is reality.

What is freedom?

I selfishly hoped

That the pain you gave to me might be love.

I have no need

For this Schadenfreude that keeps me down.

I’ve grown tired of its heavy-handed drama

And discord aesthetic.

How long can you keep saying

That things are unfair, or “hopeless”?

How much giving up until you’re satisfied?

It’s laughable.

Even broken, I live on. My ending credit roll betrays all expectation.

With a heart that’s been broken again and again, I keep on.

Each time I breathe, my body continues to rust.

I need only accept the parts of me that fall away as I fight on.」

Her face unresponsive to her elegy,

She starts breathing, in the dead of night.
