## Lyrics

素晴らしき世界に今日も乾杯
街に飛び交う笑い声も
見て見ぬフリしてるだけの作りもんさ
気が触れそうだ
クラクラするほどの良い匂いが
ツンと刺した鼻の奥
目を覚ます本能の侭
今日は誰の番だ？

この世界で何が出来るのか
僕には何が出来るのか
只その真っ黒な目から
涙溢れ落ちないように

願う未来に何度でもずっと
喰らいつく
この間違いだらけの世界の中
君には笑って欲しいから
もう誰も傷付けない
強く強くなりたいんだよ
僕が僕で居られるように

素晴らしき世界は今日も安泰
街に渦巻く悪い話も
知らない知らないフリして目を逸らした
正気の沙汰じゃないな
真面目に着飾った行進
鳴らす足音が弾む行き先は
消えない消えない味が染み付いている
裏側の世界

清く正しく生きる事
誰も悲しませずに生きる事
はみ出さず真っ直ぐに生きる事
それが間違わないで生きる事？
ありのまま生きることが正義か
騙し騙し生きるのは正義か
僕の在るべき姿とはなんだ
本当の僕は何者なんだ
教えてくれよ
教えてくれよ

今日も
答えのない世界の中で
願ってるんだよ
不器用だけれど
何時までも君とただ
笑っていたいから
跳ねる心臓が
体揺らし叫ぶんだよ
今こそ動き出せ

弱い自分を何度でもずっと
喰らい尽くす
この間違いだらけの世界の中
君には笑ってほしいから
もう誰も泣かないよう
強く強くなりたいんだよ
僕が僕でいられるように

只君を守るその為に
走る走る走るんだよ
僕の中の僕を超える

Today again, I say here's to this wonderful world
Laughter erupting all over the city
Pretend not to look, it's all fake
About to lose my mind
An alluring scent that makes me lightheaded
Stimulates my nose
Wakes me up instinctively
Whose turn is it today?

What can be done in this world?
What can I do?
Just want to make sure that from those pitch-black eyes
Tears won't fall

For a better future, again and again
I keep grasping
In this world full of wrong
I want you to smile
Don't want to hurt anyone anymore
Want to be strong, strong
So I can stay true to myself

Today again, this wonderful world is safe
Bad rumors swirling in the city
Turned a blind, blind eye and looked away
It's pure madness
People dressed up dead seriously for a march
Footsteps that lead to
With a taste so overpowering, never to disappear, disappear
The other side of the world

To live a good and honest life
To live without causing any sorrow
To stay on the straight and narrow, no missteps
Is that how you live without making mistakes?
Is justice about living as you are or
Is justice about faking through life
Need to know what I should be
Who is my true self?
Tell me
Tell me

Once again today
In a world with no answers
I hope
Though I may be awkward
Just together with you, forever
If want to keep laughing so
My heart skips a beat and
Rocks my body yelling
It's time to move right now

The weakling that I am, over and over
I try to overcome
In this world full of wrong
I want you to smile
So no one will have to cry anymore
Want to be strong, strong
So I can stay true to myself

Just so I can protect you
I run, run, run
I'll overcome "me" that lives inside of me
