Lyric

Authenticity of the Night

Tera Kira

Beneath the streetlights, melting into the night

A destination that no one has in sight

My white breath unravels into the air

Moving away like an answer that’s not there

The word "I’m okay"—just that alone

Was growing cold in my pocket, like a stone

The reason why I even started to walk

I can’t even remember now, no matter how I talk

Lost and wandering, lost and wandering

On a road that has no name

Stopping and staying, stopping and staying

Only my shadow grew, playing the game

Where should I go?

The answer remains ambiguous and low

A future that looks like a shining light

Would surely vanish if I touched it tonight

But even so

But even so

Only the footprints keep increasing in the snow

The arrow on the sign swayed in the night breeze

No matter where it pointed, I felt no ease

The sound of a crossing ringing far away

Was swaying just like my heart, in a gray display

Correct answers, or regrets of the past

Only the names keep increasing so fast

Holding onto a map that’s empty and bare

I keep on walking through the midnight air

Lost and wandering, lost and wandering

Inside the same old night

Silent and still, silent and still

Only our breaths overlapping in the light

Where should I go?

The night just keeps getting deeper, you know

Even the light of a star from afar

Is already ancient by the time it reaches where we are

But even so

But even so

Only the footprints continue to grow

Where should I go?

Maybe I don’t need an answer to show

Even if it’s a mistake or a detour I took

The night I walked through was real—just look

But even so

But even so

I am right here, breathing in the glow

Melting into the night, unraveling in the dawn

Searching for a tiny light to rely upon

Even if my destination

Remains unknown

But even so

But even so

I will keep walking on
