やわらかな風が頬を撫でる
街は静かに息をしている
笑顔の奥に沈む影
誰もが真実を隠してる
煌めく言葉に包まれて
心の声が遠くなる
誰かの理想を演じながら
自分を見失っていた
止まらないざわめきの中で
立ち止まることもできずに
それでも確かに聞こえる
小さな心の鼓動
偽りの空を見上げて
壊れた夢を抱きしめた
冷たい雨に濡れても
消えない炎がある
この痛みが
生きている証
優しさが罪になる夜
誰かの嘘に救われた
寂しさを誤魔化すように
また笑ってしまう
光を怖がっていた
だけど今はもう逃げない
この心が導く場所へ
歩き出すだけ
虚飾の海を越えて
本当の声を見つけたい
傷つくたび強くなる
心がまだ燃えている
I’ll find my truth beyond the divide
崩れた世界の果てで
静かな朝が息をする
涙が乾くその時に
新しい風が吹く
I’m still here — and still alive
アコースティックの弦が揺れて
夜明けの光を迎える
もう嘘はいらない
心だけが、ここにある
