Look, bit by bit
The warmth you’ve left behind starts to dissolve away
And when it’s all gone, what meaning will this body hold?

Impulses overlap
Stuck in this maze without an exit
Escaping from sudden attacks from reality, I search for the path
But for some reason, it’s so mysterious
I can’t leave this place

This time tomorrow, I’ll be able to smile well
Yes, as if nothing had happened
I’ve come all this way, always doing this
But I can’t control this game the way I want to

The moment I say something, everything just
Slips out through the gaps of my fingers, like sand
Amazed by time
I wait for it to pass quietly

This time tomorrow, I’ll seem to forget it all
I don’t need words to tide me over
This has dragged on longer than usual
But it’s ok, I can just search for another game

This time tomorrow, I’ll be able to smile well
Yes, as if nothing had happened
I’ve come all this way, always doing this
But I can’t control this game the way I want to

This time tomorrow, I’ll seem to forget it all
I don’t need words to tide me over
This has dragged on longer than usual
But it’s ok, I can just search for another game

Say it, that pain is surely just an illusion
Say it, that this is not like me
Say it, because if you don’t, I’ll long for warmth again

ROOMAJI

Hora sukoshi zutsu
Anata no nokoshita nukumori ga tokedashite
Zenbu kietara konna karada wa nanno imi wo motsu kana

Shoudou ga kasanari atte
Deguchi no nai meiro ni hamaru
Fui ni osou genjitsu tachi ga nukedaseru michi wo sagasu
Na no ni naze fushigi na kurai
Kono basho wo hanarerarenai

Ashita no imagoro ni wa umaku waraeru
Sou marude nanigoto mo nakatta ka no you ni
Itsudatte sou yatte aruite kita no ni
Kono geemu omou you ni sousa dekinai

Moshi nanika kuchi ni sureba sono shunkan subete wa tada
Suna no you ni yubi no sukima surinukete shimai sou de
Jikan dake akireru kurai
Heizen to sugiru no wo matsu

Ashita no imagoro ni wa wasureteru you na
Sono ba shinogi no kotoba nante iranai
Itsumo yori sukoshi nagabikase sugita no
Daijoubu geemu nara mata sagaseba ii

Ashita no imagoro ni wa umaku waraeru
Sou marude nanigoto mo nakatta ka no you ni
Itsudatte sou yatte aruite kita no ni
Kono geemu omou you ni sousa dekinai

Ashita no imagoro ni wa wasureteru you na
Sono ba shinogi no kotoba nante iranai
Itsumo yori sukoshi nagabikase sugita no
Daijoubu geemu nara mata sagaseba ii

Itte kitto itami da nante gensou da tte
Itte konna watashi da nante rashikunai yo tte
Itte ja nakya nukumori wo mata motomechau kara

KANJI

ほら少しずつ
あなたの残した温もりが溶けだして
全部消えたらこんな体は何の意味をもつかな

衝動が重なり合って
出口のない迷路にはまる
ふいに襲う現実達が抜け出せる道を探す
なのに何故不思議なくらい
この場所を離れられない

明日の今頃にはうまく笑える
そうまるで何事もなかったかのように
いつだってそうやって歩いて来たのに
このゲーム思うように操作できない

もし何か口にすればその瞬間すべてはただ
砂のように指の隙間すり抜けてしまいそうで
時間だけ呆れるくらい
平然と過ぎるのを待つ

明日の今ごろには忘れてるような
その場しのぎの言葉なんていらない
いつもより少し長引かせすぎたの
大丈夫ゲームならまた探せばいい

明日の今頃にはうまく笑える
そうまるで何事もなかったかのように
いつだってそうやって歩いて来たのに
このゲーム思うように操作できない

明日の今ごろには忘れてるような
その場しのぎの言葉なんていらない
いつもより少し長引かせすぎたの
大丈夫ゲームならまた探せばいい

言ってきっと痛みだなんて幻想だって
言ってこんな私だなんてらしくないよって
言ってじゃなきゃ温もりをまた求めちゃうから
