掌に刻まれている

Carved into my palm

ツギハギのようなその線に触れて

Touch the stitched-together lines

ひび割れそうな頭と

With a head about to crack

硝子が刺さった心で前へ 走る

And a heart pierced by glass, I move forward

壊れかけの世界

In a world that's falling apart

崩れそうで目眩

Feeling dizzy as it collapses

空っぽな体で 歪な視界

In my empty body, a distorted view

ゾクリと脈を打つ 命の線

A pulse racing, a line of life

ナイフでなぞって 伸ばしてしまえたら

If I could trace it with a knife and extend it

ねぇ 誰か教えて 月が見えるなら

Hey, someone tell me—if I could see the moon
