昔々あるところに
あなたの名前を呼ぶ誰かが居る
その言葉の節々から伝わる
話を知りたくなるのは何故だろう
何千回、何万回と思い出す日に
聴こえる声はどこかへと消えていくみたい
散々なストーリー
或いは夢のまた途中にいるみたい
君が困る話をしよう
絶えず溢れるように
どうして、どうして、どうして、どうして
私はなぜ私を選んでるの
泣いても、泣いても、泣いても
変わらない私を生きる
自分を見失って
どうしようもないような心の話をしようね
だって、
あなたの代わりに生きる意味を奪わないでよ
返してよ、返してよ、返してよ、返してよ
私は、私だけを信じてるの?
今でも見えるの?変わるの?
変われない私を生きる
誰の所為にして終わるのかい
誰の成果だと探るのかい
君は誰のこともわからないまま生きるのですか
泣いてよ、泣いてよ、泣いてよ、泣いてよ
誰かのためじゃなくて、私のために
「そうでしょ」『そうでしょ?』
…そうだよ
何度も、何度も、何度も、何度も
私は、わたし達を抱きしめるの
今ならわかるよ…解るよ
心(ここ)にいると!

_Weaving Dreams Between You and Me
Imaginary Friends is the 1st Full Album by Um, a Seamless Artist who connects boundaries through sound, words, and stories.

Featuring songs created together with multiple collaborators, alongside songs written and composed by Um herself, the album weaves together songs and poetry across 16 tracks, portraying the stories of the girls she encounters and Um's own feelings.
What will these encounters leave behind?
And what answer to her own feelings awaits her at the end of the journey...?
