=== Rōmaji ===
Aimaina hyōden koshiraete hitatteru no
Seisei saisai nani o mada matteru no
Itsunomanika hitori ni natta
Tameiki hitotsu haite nageite
Jōnetsu moyashita ano koro o
Shinketsu sosoide torimodosunda
En de tsunagareba kono hibi mo
Suteru hodo koware tenaidarou
Ayumi o tomenaide
Kibō o sutenaide
Dōka furimuite
Dō ka kimiyo
Jin Jin kokoro ga itamunara
Kan'nen no ori o uchiyaburu nda
En'en tsukihi wa megurukedo
Suteru ni wa yami ga asaidarou
Jōnetsu moyashita ano koro o
Shinketsu sosoide torimodosu nda
Ai o wakeaeba kono hibi mo
Mōichido kimi o terasudarou
=== Kanji ===
曖昧な評伝 拵え て浸ってるの
世世 歳歳 何をまだ持ってるの
いつのまにか独りになった
ため息ひとつ吐いて 嘆いて
情熱 やしたあの頃を
心血注いで取り戻すんだ
縁で繋がれば この日々も
捨てるほど壊れてないだろう
歩みを止めないで
希望を捨てないで
どうか振り向いて
どうか 君よ
ジンジン 心が傷むなら
観念の檻を打ち破るんだ
延々 月日は巡るけど
捨てるには闇が浅いだろう
情熱 燃やしたあの頃を
心血注いで取り戻すんだ
愛を分け合えば この日々も
もう一度 君を照らすだろう
=== English ===
You allowed yourself to be consumed
After all these years what have you gained?
Before you knew it you were all alone
You let out a painful sigh
You were once burning with passion
You must pour your heart into your soul
Compared to the challenges of today
It's not worth throwing it all away
Do not stop to walk
Do not give up hope
Please turn back
Please hear me!
If your heart is tingling with pain
Break free your idea from it's cage
The endless waiting is over at last
Only shallow darkness is left behind
You allowed yourself to be consumed
After all these years what have you gained?
The days that you used to love
Will once again shine on you
=== Rōmaji (Full Version) ===

=== English (full version) ===
a vague, unclear critical biography, are you immersed in its creation?
generations, years, annually, what are you still waiting for?
before we knew it, we were alone 
spit out a sigh and grieve. 
a parasite and a snail swirl together, tumbling down
silent, scattered, resounding, groaning
before we knew it, we were alone
where is this place?
the voice’s hiding place, pursue gently
at least a sigh, gulp down
that time with which passion burned, we'll pour our 
heart’s blood into it, take it back
if we’re tied together by fate, these days too
aren’t so broken you have to throw them out, you know
if your trembling heart hurts, it’s the
prison of beliefs you resigned yourself to being
defeated
endless days go around, but
compared to throwing it all away, 
their darkness is superficial
the rain has stopped, you know
the roadway blurred in headlights
the rain has stopped, you know
the hand that closed the umbrella, dully grows numb with cold
please, don’t stop walking
please, don’t throw away your hope
please, don’t cry all alone
please, don’t hurt your body
please, don’t starve yourself of love
please, don’t accumulate hatred
please, somehow, turn around
please, somehow, you 
before we knew it, we were alone
where is this place?
the voice’s hiding place, gently pursue
at least a sigh, gulp down
that time which with passion burned, our heart’s blood
we're pouring all into it, to take it back
if we’re tied together by fate, these days too
aren’t so broken to throw them out, you know
if your trembling heart hurts, it’s that the
cage of beliefs you resigned yourself to has been defeated
endless days go around, but
compared to throwing it all away, 
their darkness is superficial
with passion burned, that time, our heart’s blood
we're pouring into it, to take it back
if we can share love, these days too
love will light you up once more
