Lyrics

Japanese

ずれるピントに迷った　合わせる辻褄を探せ
ほら枯れ葉が舞う　やがて蝶になる　そしてチューニング合って
あとはなんだっけ

急なフェードで焦った　秒速で不条理が始まる
とりあえず選んだせいだから　方をつけなきゃいけないな

退屈の理由は　思考停止の evidence
守るものも守れないならでしゃばるなよ
共感も栄光も賞賛も欲しがるのは野暮ってこと
正体不明の引力が常識を無に帰す引き金を引いてしまうから

冗談じゃねえよ Phantom's begun！　嘘にまみれきって蜃気楼
心まで霞んで蜃気楼　善々悪々も審議不能になる
全部嫌になった　それさえも幸せな結末だ
だめだ そんな悲しいこと言うな　まだ世界は生きてる
君が泣いてたって生きてる　だからこの空の先を見たい
邪魔すぎる運命のターゲット睨みながら
言えそうで良かった「まだ愛していたい」
