Lyrics

Kanji Romaji Translated
痛くないように　やさしく殺（あや）めた 言葉に置き換えて　悲しみを忘れた ああ　いま　何をなくしたのだろう Itaku nai you ni Yasashiku ayameta Kotoba ni okikaete Kanashimi wo wasureta Aa Ima Nani wo nakushita no darou Painlessly I murdered them gently I replaced it with words and forgot the sadness Ah, what have I lost now?
ツミという音のならびから　思い描かれた つぐなうことも叶わない　夢の記憶 望まれたこの世界から　消えてなくなった いつもすでに欠けている　人の祈り Tsumi to iu oto no narabi kara Omoiegakareta Tsugunau koto mo kanawanai Yume no kioku Nozomareta kono sekai kara Kiete naku natta Itsumo sude ni kaketeiru Hito no inori I was made to imagine a list of sounds called sin It won’t come true, this memory of a dream of atonement From the world I had longed for they disappeared and vanished The prayers of people always damaged
鏡に映した　自分の姿が 幸せを知るほどに　不確かになってゆく ああ　まだ　欲しい何かがあるのに Kagami ni utsushita Jibun no sugata ga Shiawase wo shiru hodo ni Futashika ni natte yuku Aa Mada Hoshii nani ka ga aru no ni The more my figure reflected in a mirror understands happiness The more uncertain it becomes Ah, yet there is still something that I want
享楽の声がきこえない　今をみたすのは あがなうすべも奪われて　生きる痛み 生き延びるだけの世界なら　迷い傷ついて 他人（ひと）を好きになるような　愛はいらない Kyouraku no koe ga kikoenai Ima wo mitasu no ha Akanau sube mo ubawarete Ikiru itami Ikinobiru dake no sekai nara Mayoi kizutsuite Hito wo suki ni naru you na Ai ha iranai Fulfilling this present where I can’t hear voices of pleasure This method of compensation and the pain of living was taken away If it is a world where I am merely surviving I don’t need to ambivalently wound or love other people
抑えつけられた世界から　意味を失って こぼれ落ちた現実は、どこへ行くの？ 私がツミを背負うことを　あなたは望んだ 私を映す鏡の前には　誰もいない Osaetsukerareta sekai kara Imi wo ushinatte Koboreochita genjitsu ha, doko he yuku no? Watashi ga tsumi wo seou koto wo Anata ha nozonda Watashi wo utsusu kagami no mae ni ha Dare mo inai From the world that I am pinned down I parted with meaning This scattered reality, where is it going? You wished for the sin that I am burdened with In front of the mirror reflecting myself everyone is gone
