Because the sky is

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
例えば僕の趣味は　釣りだけど、 	Tatoeba boku no shumi wa tsuri dakedo,	Let's say my hobby is fishing,
さらに言うなら　食べるコトも好き。 	Sarani iu nara taberu koto mo suki. 	And on top of that, we'll say I like to eat them.
毎週金曜日の　深夜には、 	Maishuu kin'youbi no shin'ya ni wa, 	So late at night every Friday,
バイクを走らせて　海へ向かう。 	Baiku o hashirasete umi e mukau. 	I pedal my bike over to the beach.
 	 	
それが翌朝　起きたら突然、 	Sore ga yokuasa okitara totsuzen, 	But then I wake up the next morning,
法律で禁止　されてしまった！ 	Houritsu de kinshi sarete shimatta! 	And it's been banned by law!
「魚を釣るコトは　犯罪で！？ 	"Sakana o tsuru koto wa hanzai de!? 	"So then my fishing is a crime?!
食べるコトに　至っては禁固刑！？」 	Taberu koto ni itatte wa kinkokei!?" 	And I could go to jail for eating too many?!"
 	 	
ただの趣味が　人に忌み嫌われ、 	Tada no shumi ga hito ni imikiraware, 	Hated by people for just having a hobby,
犯罪予備軍と　指さされる。 	Hanzai yobigun to yubisasareru. 	Law enforcers pointing fingers at me.
普通の基準が　どこかに飛んで、 	Futsuu no kijun ga dokoka ni tonde, 	With the status quo gone kaput,
明日が全然　見えてこないよ！ 	Ashita ga zenzen miete konai yo! 	I can hardly see tomorrow coming!
 	 	
いきづらい。いきづらい。いきつらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikitsurai. 	It's hard to breathe. Hard to breathe. Hard indeed.
大気には空気が　満ちてるのに。 	Taiki ni wa kuuki ga michiteru no ni. 	Even if the atmosphere is full of air.
いきづらい。いきづらい。いきつらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikitsurai. 	It's hard to breathe. Hard to breathe. Hard to breathe.
どこに行っても　一人きりみたい。 	Doko ni itte mo hitorikiri mitai. 	Wherever I go, there's no one else there.
 	 	
ネオツキジで　始まったデモにも、 	Neo tsukiji de hajimatta demo ni mo, 	At the demonstration in Neo-Tsukiji,
仲間を誘って　参加してきた。 	Nakama o sasotte sanka shite kita. 	I invited my friends, and we took part.
わかったのは　自分の無力さと、 	Wakatta no wa jibun no muryokusa to, 	All we learned was our helplessness,
国家権力の　頼もしさだけ。 	Kokka kenryoku no tanomoshiisa dake. 	And the ever-reliable power of the state.
 	 	
携帯ゲームまで　規制されて、 	Keitai geemu made kisei sarete, 	Regulated to only cellphone games,
週末には　呑む予定を入れた。 	Shuumatsu ni wa nomu yotei o ireta. 	I made plans to go drinking for the weekend.
帰りの駅で　傘を振り上げて、 	Kaeri no eki de kasa o furiagete, 	Waiting at my station, I held up my umbrella,
見えない釣り糸を　飛ばしてみた。 	Mienai tsuri-ito o tobashite mita. 	And tried throwing an invisible line.
 	 	
いきづらい。いきづらい。いきつらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikitsurai. 	It's hard to breathe. Hard to breathe. Hard to breathe.
辿り着いた先は　イキドマリ。 	Tadoritsuita saki wa ikidomari. 	After all the struggle, I reach the end of the line.
いきづらい。いきづらい。いきつらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikitsurai. 	It's hard to breathe. Hard to breathe. Hard to breathe.
そして僕は　一人でニガワライ。 	Soshite boku wa hitori de nigawarai. 	So I'm all alone, but smile bitterly like I'm fine.
 	 	
上を見上げたら　四角い空。 	Ue o miagetara shikakui sora. 	I look up to see a square sky.
まるで巨大な　水槽の中。 	Marude kyodai na suisou no naka. 	It's like being in an enormous fish tank.
呼吸するだけで　ひと苦労だな。 	Kokyuu suru dake de hitokurou da na. 	But just breathing can be a struggle.
エラ呼吸なんて　出来ないよ。 	Erakokyuu nante dekinai yo. 	Because I don't have any gills.
 	 	
いつか僕が　何も言わないで、 	Itsuka boku ga nani mo iwanaide, 	If some day, without a word,
金曜の飲み会を　断ったら、 	Kin'you no nomikai o kotowattara, 	I pass on going drinking on Friday,
その時は　大体察してね。 	Sono toki wa daitai sasshite ne. 	I'll give you three guesses why.
「それは心が　□☆＊○」 	"Sore wa kokoro ga □☆＊○" 	"It's because my heart is □☆＊○"
 	 	
生きづらい。行きづらい。息つらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikitsurai. 	It's hard to live. Hard to leave. Hard to breathe.
大気には空気が　満ちてるのに。 	Taiki ni wa kuuki ga michiteru no ni. 	Even if the atmosphere is full of air.
生きづらい。行きづらい。逝きづらい。 	Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikizurai. 	It's hard to live. Hard to go. Hard to leave.
それでも　生きていくしか　ないみたい。 	Soredemo ikite iku shika nai mitai. 	But I guess to keep on living is all that's there.
 	 	
自作した　お気に入りの　ルアーを 	Jisaku shita okiniiri no ruaa o 	I took my old favorite, my homemade lure,
ストラップ　代わりに　つけてみたよ。 	Sutorappu kawari ni tsukete mita yo. 	And used it in place of a cellphone strap.
人にはヘンな目で　見られるけど、 	Hito ni wa hen na me de mirareru kedo,	People might give me some strange looks,
これが僕らの　同盟の証。 	Kore ga bokura no doumei no akashi. 	But this is proof of our alliance.
 	 	
アレがない。偏る愛。画面内。 	Are ga nai. Katayoru ai. Gamen nai. 	It's not there. A love unfair. In the screen's glare.
例えば　そんな感じの　僕らは。 	Tatoeba sonna kanji no bokura wa. 	If, for example, that was how we were.
少し「好き」の　意味が違っていて、 	Sukoshi "suki" no imi ga chigatte ite,	Though we see the word "like" a little differently,
たまに、なぜか、それが、ラララ。 	Tamani, nazeka, sore ga, rarara. 	Sometimes, somehow, something... lalala.
 	 	
「いきづらい。いきづらい。いきづらい。」 	"Ikizurai. Ikizurai. Ikizurai." 	"It's hard to live. Hard to leave. Hard to breathe."
ちょっと　声に出して　みただけさ。 	Chotto koe ni dashite mita dake sa. 	I just thought I would try to speak up a little.
こんなにも心が　ざわつくのは、 	Konna ni mo kokoro ga zawatsuku no wa,	If you ask why my heart is buzzing so,
空が灰色だから。 	Sora ga haiiro dakara. 	It's because the sky is gray.
