[English]

It doesn’t matter, they’re not here

Saving someone who’s not right in front of you?

Without overthinking, I always just brush it off

Yet you get hurt by casual words

You’re the one who can’t use words properly

Somewhere, someone is crying

Even I have nights when I want to cry

Even if it’s my fault, whatever happens, that’s fine

“Just don’t hate me”

People who only care about appearances just keep decreasing

Even simple things, I can’t think about, always brushing off

I want to convey important things with words

But when the time comes, I don’t know what to say

Let’s eat warm rice before it gets cold

Let’s bid farewell to our ancestors with a bow

When the scent of unreturnable days drifts by

For now, let’s just live today

“Good morning, just being myself”

Your own world

Your own world

Expands again today

Unfading dreams

Pitiful realities

Just become part of the scenery

Your own world

Your own world

Expands again today

No one else but you

Nothing special

You hold a miracle

Fragile, hybrid

Indulgences, please

Approval becomes the bait

Confidence is good, but I prefer

Something with a few cracks, you know?

I don’t know, though

It’s okay to be a fool

It’s okay to be a dummy

As long as you understand people’s warmth

That’s all that matters

That’s all that matters

As long as you don’t give up on foolishness

Your own world

Your own world

Expands again today

No one else but you

Nothing special

You hold a miracle

Let’s eat warm rice before it gets cold

Let’s bid farewell to our ancestors with a bow

Even if you long for those days you can’t return to

For now, let’s just live today

Your own world

In your own world

“Good morning, just being myself”

Difficult things

Let’s stop them here

Finish getting ready

Bathe in the sunlight

Finish breakfast and go

[Japanese]

関係ない 居ない

目の前に居ない人を救う？

難しいことは考えずにいつだってスルー

何気ない言葉に傷つくくせに

あなたこそ正しく言葉を使えずにいる

どこかで泣いてる人が居る

私だって泣きたい夜もある

どうなったって僕のせいでもいいから

「嫌わないでほしい」

愛想ばっかで芯を食った人がただ減る

簡単なことでも考えられずいつだってスルー

大事な事を言葉で伝えたいのに

いざって時にどう言っていいかわかんない

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

戻れない香りが漂ってきたら

とりあえず今日を生きよう

『私らしく「おはよう」』

あなただけの世界が

だけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

醒めない夢も

情けない現実も

ただ景色になっていく

あなただけの世界が

だけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

他の誰でもない

何でもない

奇跡をあなたは持っている

脆いハイブリッドな

嗜好品をどうぞ

承認欲求が餌になっていく

強気も良いけど僕はちょっと

ヒビが入ってるくらいがいいぜ

知らんけど

馬鹿でも良いんだ

阿呆でも良いんだ

人のあったかい処を

わかっていれば良い

わかっていれば良い

愚かさを諦めなければ良い

あなただけの世界が

だけの世界が

今日も広がっていく

他の誰でもない

何でもない

奇跡をあなたは持っている

冷めないうちにあったかいご飯を食べよう

行ってきますとご先祖に手を合わせよう

戻れないあの日が恋しくなっても

とりあえず今日を生きよう

あなただけの世界が

だけの世界で

『私らしく「おはよう」』

難しいことは

ここらでやめて

身支度を済ませて

陽の光を浴びて

朝食を済ませてゆく
