[English]

握ったメッセージ that's rising hope

(Hey, welcome to message, write you)

(Can you distance? Standby)

(Here we go)

...

揺るがない世界 非情な現状 続く壁は何重層？

イメージ通りなんかじゃない 静かに騒ぎだした本能

迷路みたい 行き止まりなんだ もう思考はディストーション

容赦ないね いつの間に 見失ったルート 暴れだす

(Pay attention! Hey what is it?)

(Watch your step now!) 常識なんか要らない

(Are you serious? No, no, no, don't worry, one, two, three)

吹き返す 心臓のリズム

視界まだ眩んでる それでも行かなくちゃ

キミが信じてる僕を裏切るわけにいかない 強くクラクションが鳴る

孤独なまま時が経ったって 逃げる事覚えたって

新しい今日が来ちゃうけど (I believe in anymore)

この願い例え魔法が無くたって叶えなきゃ 誓った

僕はキミと まだ見たい未来 あるんだよ (I seen my hope)

泣きそうでも悔しくても止まっていられない

握ったメッセージ that's rising hope

...

(I will go ahead)

...

デモ・ケドnon stopでガンガン迫るhard way

(Where's the solution?) 打ちのめされても

Get up! (Come on!) And hurry up! (Come on!)

そんな損な時間ならすぐさまゴミ箱

後悔なんて塵埃同然 さあ two step, OK, shouting, OK 欲張りあそばせ

可否も賛否も全部僕のもの 飛ばせ 心臓のアルゴリズム

ほら守りたいんだって 僕の声が伝播した

異論反論は許すけど この想いは不用意に科学できないでしょう？

...

聞いてよ 辿り着いた正解 言わなくちゃ

キミがくれる想いの全部を 信じていける

それが 嘘かどうかなんて わからなくてもいい

誰かが示す見本ってなんだっけ 普通の愛って何だっけ

僕は今日も僕に問いかける

問いかける度 手に入れるのは変わらない真実

｢僕は要らない まだ見たい未来があるから｣

孤独なんかは消えて無くなって 逃げる事嫌になって

新しい今日を探すんだよ (I believe in anymore)

この願い 例え魔法がなくたって叶えなきゃ 誓った

僕とキミで 創れる未来ならもう近い (I seen my hope)

僕の右手 キミの左手 そっと繋いで

握ったメッセージ that's rising hope

離さないから that's rising hope

Rising hope...

(I will really peak in hope)

(Hey, choose, resurrect you)

(Can you continue? All right, replay)
