[English]

Just a little more, the rope is out of reach

Screaming S.O.S in the center of the ring

A torn dream, how do I mend it?

Anger? Regret? Or is it revenge?

Lift your shoulders on one, two

Barely at two point nine, give it back

No matter what

I absolutely won't say it

Give up

A drenched heart

A leaking regret

Hearts Hearts

Hearts Hearts

The wind that can blow on these wings

Is a devoted heart

A heart that lives straight

真っ直ぐに生きるハート

Shaking legs, on the verge of spilling

A hero who knows no defeat

That's just in manga

Where do you find true courage?

It might only exist within a cowardly heart

Lift your shoulders on one, two

Barely at two point nine, give it back

Today, I'm still taking hits to the face

Punch

A blood-soaked heart

A mud-stained pride

Hearts Hearts

I want to protect it

Even if it falls apart

Twisted and dirty

That smile is the trophy

その笑顔こそトロフィー

Thanks for this completely unexpected day

Living like this is better off dead

Inside the line that goes up and down

No one is without a past they want to hide

This body I was born with, my ultimate weapon

Reset the bad feelings

Sick of yesterday, go home

An anxiety I've never known

The Cape of Good Hope of excitement

I don't need anything but the heartbeat this heart longs for

Feeling the limits, an untrained genius, absurd encounters

Even if you don't choose me, get down

A development that makes me sick, no right answer, unwilling settlement

Okay, let's turn it into a funny story

Even sins that won't disappear no matter how many times I swallow the needle

Even if there are wounds I can never show

On the edge, holding shame in one hand

Show me that there's no tomorrow I can't grasp

Lift your shoulders on one, two

Barely at two point nine, give it back

I absolutely won't say it, no matter what

Give up

A drenched heart

A leaking regret

Hearts Hearts

The wind that can blow on these wings

Is a devoted heart

A belief that lives straight

A blood-soaked heart

A mud-stained pride

Hearts Hearts

Hearts Hearts

Don't let your knees touch the ground

Even if it gets all messy

I keep searching while staggering

True heart

[Japanese]

あともうちょっとで届かないロープ

叫んでるS.O.S リングの真ん中

破れた夢 何で繕う？

怒り？後悔？それともリベンジ？

１.２で肩あげて

ギリギリ２.９ 返せ

意地でも

絶対に言わない

ギブアップ

びしょ濡れのハート

ダダ漏れのリグレット

Hearts Hearts

Hearts Hearts

この翼に風

吹かせられるのは

ひたむきなハート

真っ直ぐに生きるハート

震える足 お漏らし寸前

負け知らずのヒーロー

そんなの漫画だけ

本当の勇気 どこで見つける？

臆病なハートの中にしかないかも

１.２で肩あげて

ギリギリ２.９ 返せ

今日も顔面にくらってます

パンチ

血まみれのハート

泥まみれのプライド

Hearts Hearts

Hearts Hearts

守ってみせたいよ

ボロボロになっても

歪んで汚い

その笑顔こそトロフィー

まったく想定外の今日をどうも

くたばったほうがマシな生き様です

上がって下がる線の内側へ

隠したい過去がないやつはいない

生まれ持ったこの身体　最終兵器

やな思いリセット

うんざりな昨日 Go home

未だ嘗て知らぬ焦燥

ときめきの喜望峰

この心臓の憧れる鼓動以外いらない

感じる限界　なれぬ天才　不条理エンカウント

君が僕を選ばないとしても Get down

嫌になる展開　ない正解　不本意清算

OK 笑い話に変えてあげましょう

針を千回飲めど消えない罪もどうぞ

生涯見せらんない傷があろうと

かなりギリギリで　恥を片手にして

掴めない明日などはないと示してくれよ

１.２で肩あげて

ギリギリ２.９ 返せ

意地でも絶対に言わない

ギブアップ

びしょ濡れのハート

ダダ漏れのリグレット

Hearts Hearts

この翼に風 吹かせられるのは

ひたむきなハート

真っ直ぐに生きるBelief

血まみれのハート

泥まみれのプライド

Hearts Hearts

Hearts Hearts

膝はつかないでよ

グチャグチャになっても

よろめきながら探し続けてる

True heart
