Lyrics
Romaji= Aotenjou wa dou shiyou mo naku sumiwatatteiru

Nasu sube no nai boku ni mebuita shousou ga fukurande yuku

Dou shitatte okubyou na bokura wo warau you ni

Ikusen no me ga nozoita

Nando mo nando mo oreta kokoro wo tada

Dakishimeru dake

Itsuka hai ni naru sono hi made

Nomikonde kita kanashimi no subete ga boku wo

Katachizukutta iro de mitashita

Sou shite aruite kitan darou?

Kokyuu to onaji you ni hitotsu hitotsu kasanete kitan da

Kono tenohira no kazoe kirenai

Kienaku natta kizuato ga boku no

Akashi da shirushi da

Mukaiatta ano kyoufu mo

Kizande, tomo ni mata arukidashita

Aotenjou wa dou shiyou mo naku sumiwatatteiru

Koku ochiru kageboushi no you ni munashisa ga natsuite kuru

Dou shitatte itamu kizu wo iyasu you ni

Akirame e to boku no te wo hiita

Nando mo nando mo koukai wo kasanete

Sore demo mada

Chiratsuku hikari ga mabushikute

Kono me ni utsutta kibou no subete ga itsuka

Kuzuresatte kuroku nigotte

Kawarihatete shimattemo

Yuganda shitsubou no sasayaki wo kakikesu you ni

Kokoro no oku de dareka sakenda

Ataerareta asu ni imi nado nai to

Tada tachidomatte suwarikonde owari wo matsu nara

Koukai mo shitsubou mo iranai no ni

Yami ni aragatte erabi totte asu wo nedaru anata no

Utsukushisa ni akogarete shimatta

Machigatte, ikutsu kuyande, asu ga kowakute, kizu wo seotta

Dare ni mo watasenai

Boku dake no itami da

Nomikonde kita kanashimi no subete ga boku wo

Katachizukutta iro de mitashita

Sou shite aruite kitan darou?

Kokyuu to onaji you ni hitotsu hitotsu kasanete kitan da

Kono tenohira no kazoe kirenai

Kienaku natta kizuato ga boku no

Akashi da shirushi da

Mukaiatta ano kyoufu mo

Kizande, domo ni mata arukidashita

English= The azure sky is impossibly clear

Helplessly, a seed of impatience sprouted in me is growing

Anyway we’re timid, and as if to sneer at that,

Thousands of eyes are looking into our faces

Souls that have been broken over and over again

I just embrace them

Until the day I’m reduced to ashes

All the grief I’ve swallowed

They shaped me, filled me with colours

That’s how I’ve been walking, isn’t it?

Having accumulated one by one, just like breathing

On this palm, countless

Scars that no longer disappear

That’s my proof, my mark

Facing my fear,

Engraving it and walking away again with it

The azure sky is impossibly clear

Like a shadow casted thickly, the emptiness is tamed and attached to me

As if comforting a pain of an uncontrollable wound

It led me by the hand towards giving up

Over and over again, regret

And yet still

A faint light is flickering and blinding

Even if all the hope in these eyes

Will one day crumble, turn black and muddy

And completely change

To drown out the whispers of distorted disappointment

Someone cries out deep in the soul

The tomorrows given have no meaning

If I’d just stopped, sat and waited for it to end

I wouldn’t have needed any regrets or disappointments

I longed for the beauty of you

Fighting against the darkness, choosing, and claiming tomorrow

How many mistakes, how many regrets, fearing tomorrow, carrying scars

Still, I can’t give this to anyone

A pain just for me

All the grief I’ve swallowed

They shaped me, filled me with colours

That’s how I’ve been walking, isn’t it?

Having accumulated one by one, just like breathing

On this palm, countless

Scars that no longer disappear

That’s my proof, my mark

Facing my fear,

Engraving it and walking away again with it
