[English]

Hey, let's talk about the things we don't know. Two kind souls,

and graduation is just a matter of time.

Even though we hate each other this much,

it's because we love each other

just as much. [Music] I'll try to fill your mouth

only with white, floating words.

[Music]

Gas

stroking [Music]

The two of us continue to wait for the rain. [Music]

I wanted to make it real. We smile just a little,

[Music]

but our sickness will only get worse.

Let's talk about the things we don't know. Two kind souls.

The liar's time has grown smaller. Singing along

with my voice. I wish it could just become a voice.

[Music] If only we could laugh, but that's just sleeping again.

It's okay to use dirty words. [Music]

I don't need kindness.

If we could just let the cycle

turn coldly,

then we would be rewarded. [Music] We are constantly

dreaming of nothing but words.

The two of us [Music] feel even more faded.

Despite having such gentle voices, that feeling... I suppose

[Music] we just didn't have enough.

If you are suffering, if it's bitter, then maybe next time.

I don't need kindness either. Even though things

have turned out like this, does age matter again?

Our tiny little battle [Music]

is our own. Let's talk about the things we don't know.

Two kind souls, let's spend the liar's [Music] time together.

Singing along with your living voice, the voice

[Music]

I wish would just turn into a fairy tale. Even if you're

on the verge of tears again, [Music] it's okay to just suffer.

That's all there is to it.

As we drift along, the sadness is still at a distance.

[Music] Before we fall asleep, let's talk about the things we don't know.

I don't need kindness.

[Japanese]

ねえ、知らないこと話そうよ。優しい2人

って卒は時間だよ。

こんなにこんなに憎むのに

同じくらい

に好きだから[音楽]なるべく白い浮き

ばかりをあなたの口に詰め込ん

[音楽]

ガソ

に撫ま[音楽]

2人で雨を待ち続ける。[音楽]

体をしてしまいた。僕らは少し笑う

[音楽]のに

僕らの病気は悪く[音楽]なるからね。

知らないこと話そうよ。優しい2人。

嘘つきは時間が小さくなった。僕の声に

重なって歌う。声はもうなったらいいのに

[音楽]ね。笑ってまたそれだって眠る

だけさ。汚ない言葉[音楽]でいいよ。

優しいのはいらないよ。

冷たく巡せ

たら

僕たちは報われるのだと[音楽]言葉に

ばかり夢を見てる

2人[音楽]はさらになくすんだ

感じは優しい声であるくせに僕たち

[音楽]のも足りなかったんだろうね

苦しいあなたが苦いいなら今度はそうか。

格わさもいらないよ。こんな[音楽]こと

になってしまってお年とかってまたかまっ

た。僕たちのこんなに小さな戦い[音楽]

が僕たちの自分で知らないこと話そうよ。

優しい2人嘘つきの[音楽]時間をしよう

。生きた君の声に重なって歌う声は

[音楽]

暗になってしまったらいいのにまた泣き

そうに[音楽]だけ苦しんでいてもいいよ

。そういうことばかりよ。

と僕たちは流れよる悲しみがまだ距離

[音楽]眠る前に知らないこと話そうよ。

優しいのはいらないよ。
