何を願うことで　忘れることで
ここが鳴るのを殺したり出来る？
何を逃がすことで　重ねることで
 nani wo negau koto de  wasureru koto de
 koko ga naru no wo koroshitari dekiru?
 nani wo nigasu koto de  kasaneru koto de
    By praying, by forgetting,
    Can I bring silence to this place?
    By letting go, by piling up...

低空を滑る私の非力な強さ
不快なロープが燃え落ちて行くのを見てた
 teikuu wo suberu atashi no hiriki na tsuyosa
 fukai na ROOPU ga moeochite iku no wo mite'ta
    As I slipped quietly over the ground
    I saw my powerless strength,
    This uncomfortable rope,
    Burn down and fall away

貴方の放り投げた祈りで　私は茨の海さえ歩いてる
正しくなど無くても　無くても　無くても　無くても
 anata no hourinageta inori de  atashi wa ibara no umi sae aruite'ru
 tadashiku nado nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo
    Simply to answer your offhanded prayer
    I walk now through a sea of thorns
    Even if it's not right, not right,
    Not right, not right...

幾つもの麻酔で　幼い私の
正気の在り処を分からなくさせる
どうかこれ以上に　見抜かないで
 ikutsumono masui de  osanai atashi no
 shouki no arika wo wakaranaku saseru
 douka kore ijou ni  minukanaide
    In this drugged haze, this young, impetuent me
    Can no longer find her senses
    Please don't look any more at me

今さら鈍さを増して行く浄化
それもいつかは終わるのさえ信じられない
 imasara nibusa wo mashite iku jouka
 sore mo itsuka wa owaru no sae shinjirarenai
    Now, everything becomes pure
    As the murkiness spreads farther and farther
    They say it will stop one day
    But I can't believe it.

貴方の放り投げた祈りで　私は茨の海さえ歩いてる
正しくなど無くても　無くても　無くても　無くても
 anata no hourinageta inori de  atashi wa ibara no umi sae aruite'ru
 tadashiku nado nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo
    To answer your offhanded prayer
    I walk now through a sea of thorns
    Even if it's not right, not right,
    Not right, not right...

低空を滑る私の非力な強さ
足元に在る例えば無機質な
 teikuu wo suberu atashi no hiriki na tsuyosa
 ashimoto ni aru tatoeba mukishitsu na
    As I slipped quietly over the ground
    I saw my powerless strength,
    As if it were lifeless mineral
    Trodden underneath my feet

追い風　視界　笑い声を　　両手で掬い上げても
ねぇ喚く想いは何処へ？
 oikaze  shikai  waraikoe wo    ryoute de sukuiagetemo
 nee wameku omoi wa doko he?
    A fair wind, a panorama, a ripple of laughter
    Even if I scoop them up with my two hands
    Hey, where can I unleash my feelings?

貴方の放り投げた祈りで　私は茨の海さえ歩いてる
正しくなど無くても　無くても　無くても
 anata no hourinageta inori de  atashi wa ibara no umi sae aruite'ru
 tadashiku nado nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo
    Simply to answer your offhanded prayer
    I walk now through a sea of thorns
    Even if it's not right, not right,
    Not right, not right...

在りったけの花で飾って　そして崩れ堕ちて　何度でも
正しくなど無くても　無くても　無くても
響いて　貴方に
響いて
 arittake no hana de kazatte  soshite kuzureochite  nando demo
 tadashiku nado nakutemo  nakutemo  nakutemo
 hibiite  anata ni
 hibiite
    Dress yourself in all the flowers of the world
    And then collapse, again and again
    Even if it's not right, not right, not right...
    Let it be heard, by you,
    Let it be heard.
