本音じゃない善意でも
救われる夜は確かにある
胸の底で錆びついた
言い訳さえ灯ろうとする
金でも鉄でもなく
混ざりものの鼓動が
曖昧な影を抱えたまま
それでも誰かへ伸びていく
完璧じゃなくていい
欠けたままでもいい
嘘と真実が
同じ温度で揺れているだけ
ああ 偽善の金属よ
この胸に眠る合金よ
純粋じゃない光でも
あなたを照らせるなら
それでいい
それがいい
割れ目から滲む熱こそ
不純物だらけの祈りこそ
今日の私を動かしていく
正しさの裏側では
身勝手さが影で笑う
それでも手を伸ばすたび
ひとつ錆が剝がれ落ちる
金ピカに見せたくて
磨き続けた言葉たち
けれど本当は
傷がある方が折れにくい
うつむいた夜の底にも
かすかに灯るものがある
間違いばかりの日々こそが
私を鍛えてきた
ああ 偽善の金属よ
この胸に眠る合金よ
綺麗じゃない生き方でも
誰かの影を照らすなら
それでいい
それがいい
純金には持てない重さで
不器用な優しさが
今日の世界をあたためる
もし純度だけが
善の尺度になるのなら
人間の愛なんて
誰ひとり持てやしない
混ざりものが混ざりものを
そっと抱きしめる瞬間
はじめて火花が生まれ
名もなき光へ変わる
ああ 偽善の金属よ
あなたを守るために
濁ったまま輝いてくれ
歪んだ祈りのままでいい
不完全な熱こそが
私という証なんだ
錆びても 割れても
この胸の合金は
なお あなたへと伸びていく
不完全なまま、美しく。

Gizen no Kinzoku Gize Kin
kneeking Records
Metal of Benevolent Lies is a song that gently illuminates the imperfect corners of the human heart.
Between honesty and falsehood, between kindness and selfish intent
our emotions waver in their blurred boundary, an alloy of mixed motives.
Through that image of a flawed metal, the song reflects the way we live.
No one possesses purity in goodness.
In truth, it is the heart bearing scars and rust
that carries the warmth to reach someone in need.
With that temperature in mind,
the track is shaped with soft light and a quiet, steady heat
a sound that embraces imperfection rather than hides it.
A prayer full of impurities
still finds its way to save someone.
And in that contradiction,
I believe we discover the true beauty of being human.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that transforms The Dictionary Journey into sound. The label was founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, a lifelong dictionary traveler, and a former kickboxing world champion. Since 2013, he has been reading Japanese dictionaries page by page writing, reflecting, and sharing words every single day. In 2025, those accumulated words and rhythms began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey continues to this day, growing quietly and steadily, with each new word adding another layer to its living archive. Kneeking Records moves freely across genres Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times even Punk Rock always in pursuit of sounds that feel good to the ear. Through the rhythm of language and the intersection of calligraphy and voice, the label delivers music shaped by a distinctly personal sensibility. Before words become meaning, they already have sound. Before sound is explained, it reaches the heart. Trusting that moment, Kneeking Records keeps turning pages and keeps letting the music speak.
