Lyrics

Long Version

だらだらと　今も　流れ　続くニュース　真実どこ？ 
夢の中　回り　続け　今も　回る　本当のこと？ 
真実も　見せず　見えず　大人　なんて　隠したまま 
偽りに　耐えて　耐えて　耐えて　絶えた　自分の気持ち

思いまで　偽られ　出会えずに　見つからぬ　本当の思い 
いつまでも　変わらずに　流れてく　この同じ　時間のなかにも 
重なって　夢を見る　そんな人　いるはずと　信じるのならば 
このままで　いたくない　こんなのは　違うはず　私は変わることができるはずよ

巡りゆく　空間は　人ごみに　飲まれて 
出会えてた　はずなのに　今でも　わからず 
同じ時刻(とき)　同じ場所　重ね合う　そのことも見えなくて

巡りゆく　空間が　貴方さえ　引き裂く 
偽りの　時の中　出会える　信じて 
1度だけ　すれ違う　その場所で　始まりの時を知るの



グルグルと　廻り　廻る　ノイズ　今も　頭の中 
夢見ても　今も　ずっと　消えず　残る　不穏な気持ち 
偽りに　呼ばれ　続け　でもね　私　振り向かない 
今はもう　耐える　意味は　ないね　そうね　自分の為に

気持ちまで　偽装され　紛れ込み　消されてた　自分の存在？ 
朽ちるまで　わからない　気づいてた　本当は　私の中では 
私には　踏み出せる　勇気だけ　まだなくて　光見えなくて 
いつまでも　いられない　この空気　この時刻に　私は変わるしかないはずなのよ

このままじゃ 
巡りゆく　空間が　いつまでも　拒んで 
出会えてた　ことさえも　気づかず　飲まれて 
同じ時刻(とき)　同じ場所　重ね合う　そのことも見えなくて

巡りゆく　空間は　拒まない　私も 
偽りは　拭い去り　出会える　信じて 
１度だけ　触れ合える　その時刻(とき)に　始まりの意味を知るの
