[English]

Cause it's endless

I'll just end it here

Or I'll just end up strayin' around endlessly

Cause there's no way out

I'll just put up a fight here

This journey of life ain't that easy

All the pretty little stray sheep

Time goes by while y'all strayin'

It feels like long time ago when we're 20

Wait, was it just a dream?

Illusion!

I didn't know nothin' when I was 14, autumn

How can't I get over my age of 8th grade

It's about the time to change the direction of life

Let's go now and blaze a trail!

"Cause It's Endless" - Fujii Kaze
