Monochrome

Mono tarinai gurēsukēru ni uzuku
Kakushin wa kiete nakunatte

Koukai wa uso ni shita
Hakobore azamuita
Mentenansu jikangai
Wakatteita noni
Aseta iro wa fukagyaku no kotowari
Seizei inoru mo ii
Douse modorenai

Kimeta hazu no kakugo no ura
Tsuki matou mayoi to fuan
Harisaketa omoi no taba
Nani hitotsu mo erarenai mama
Ikiru yori taisetsu na koto
Seotte wakatsu monokurōmu

Tokenai meidai no seikai wo motomete
Erabitoru hateru made
Bokura ga doko kara kita noka omoidasu
Mazaru koto no nai seimei wo dare ni mo hakarenai
Kowareteku isshun de
Donna shakudo de misuetara ii
Kokoro ni imi wo ataete kureta kimi no kotoba wo daite

Uragaeshi no zen'aku ni tatazumu kimi wo totemo togamerarenai
Tatte tairo ga furasshubakku suru nori
Inochi biroi suru tabi chimeiteki ni senmai

Furikaeru seki jitsu
Uran demo natsukashii
Iki isogu manazashi ni hidai suru kataochi no rettou
Aratte mo muimi na you da
Nidoto ai irenu iro wo eranda
Sore demo miwatasu kagiri mikansei no mirai

Kiekakete wa mata tomoshita
Kurikaesu jimon jitou ga
Najiru kanousei no taga
Hikishi boru shatei kyori wa mubou ka
Ikiru yori taisetsu na kodou
Seotte usatsu monokurōmu

Tokenai meidai no seikai wo motomete
Erabitou hateru made
Bokura ga doko kara kita noka omoidasu
Mazaru koto no nai seimai wo date ni mo hakarenai
Kowareteku isshin de
Donna shakudo de misuetara ii
Kokoro ni imi wo ataete kureta kimi no kotoba wo daite

Itsudatte niritsu haihan
Kuyashii, kanashii no tabi ni michiru tsuki
Toutai kanawanai kyodai na teki
Wa jibun no naka ni sukutteru yami
Yuetsu to yuuetsu wo suteteiku
Mureru fuzen ni tomadou
Kuroku kizamu maboroshi
Adanasu byakuya no saki

An ache upon an unsatisfying grayscale
My confidence vanishes

I turned regret into lies
I ignored our chipped blades
I worked overtime just for maintenance
But I knew all along
that this faded color was an irreversible law
So I might as well pray
There's no turning back now

I thought I had made up my mind
but I'm still haunted by doubt and anxiety
A bundle of emotions torn to shreds
with nothing left for me to gain
What's more important than one's life
is to shoulder that burden to sever this monochrome

I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis
while making choices until I die
Then I remember where we came from
and the lives that could never interact
No one is allowed to use the scale since it falls apart in an instant
So, what can I measure ourselves against?
Instead, I hold onto your words that gave my heart meaning

You stand there with your morals inside out But I could never fault you for that
A sudden flashback to when I severed my only escape
Each time I dodge death The memories become fatally clear

When I look back on the past
it's hateful yet nostalgic
Your hasty, reckless look fuels my outdated inferiority complex
I can't seem to wash away the incompatible color I have selected
And yet, a still unfinished future lies before my eyes

A lingering thought haunts me
I tell myself over and over
Stop assuming and embrace the distance Be reckless and draw the bow
A quiver more important than one's life
is to shoulder that burden to pierce through this monochrome

I keep searching for the answer to an unsolvable thesis
while making choices until I die
Then I remember where we came from
and the lives that could never interact
No one is allowed to use the scale since it falls apart in an instant
So, what can I measure ourselves against?
Instead, I hold onto your words that gave my heart meaning

It's always a paradox
The moon waxes with each regret and sadness
The massive, unconquerable foe is the darkness that dwells within me
I forsook my pride and joy
but I am still confounded by this flock of imperfection
Beyond that white and resentful midnight sun awaits an illusion etched in black
