5 a.m. and I hold my breath like the quiet is sinking into the air
Biting my nails on the emergency stairs
Which will tomorrow be?
The day has come
The night that will never end
The rain that will never stop
They exist in this good-for-nothing world
Isn't it a little strange?
I doze off and can't stay standing
It's not like I'm blaming you
Playing alone in a daydream
Will you even be embarrassed of what you imagine there?
Getting entangled in a maze, a maze
Will you say you will go even then?
The sound of the starting bell played by the small traveler
Don't know, don't know where you're going
Aren't you actually scared?
Each step you take is changing
The day has come

Between my mediocre self and the world that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
I awoke from a dream where however often I got close, I slipped farther away
A city brimming with glimpses of dawn is speaking in whispers
Trembling, I'm searching the darkness for the meaning of life
Between my mediocre self and the world that surrounds me
I form an image and grab on, but it's still so far away
What must I discard in order to finally arrive there?
Again and again, I try crying out
But all I end up being is myself
Whether in dreams or in reality
I know I can get past this
It doesn't matter if I stumble
It doesn't matter if I cry
Because someday, everything
Will come up roses
