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

目を覚ます本能のまま

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

ただ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

君には笑ってほしいから

もう誰も傷付けない

強く強くなりたいんだよ

僕が僕でいられるように

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

清く正しく生きること

誰も悲しませずに生きること

はみ出さず真っ直ぐに生きること

それが間違わないで生きること？

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

いつまでも君とただ

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

ただ君を守るそのために

走る走る走るんだよ

僕の中の僕を超える

Ah another day and I'm already lost - defeated

In a world so wonderful the voices crowd the city

So again I will pretend that I cannot hear them shrieking

'Cause I'm going crazy

The sweetest smell I can't describe's invading my mind

Something is awakening I feel it stir inside

And suddenly I pause to think "Whose turn will it be today then?"

Within this broken world

What can I?

I even achieve?

What can I do?

I don't think I can do a thing?

'Cause I'd give anything to never once see

Your pretty eyes filling with tears bеcause of me

I wish with all my heart for a brightеr tomorrow

Far beyond the hold of the mistakes that taint the world today

I'm clinging endlessly onto this dream 'cause I wanna see you smile

Never not ever

Will I hurt another

I want - I just want to be stronger still

So I can continue on true to who I am

You might also like

Another day and it's already sickly peaceful

In this world so wonderful the gossip clouds the city

With a howl shrill and loud I turn away blocking them all out

Guess I'm really losing it 'cause now

With my head held high I'm proudly marching

There's full intent behind the sound of each and every step

And there's a taste that won't fade

Tempting me like a fruit forbidden

A glimpse into the underworld

Ah~

Gotta live my life, aiming for only the light

Gotta live never hurting someone 'cause that shit isn't right

I gotta live with honor, never going over the edge

I gotta live right without making one mistake in my life

So tell me is it right to live just as I am truthfully?

Or tell me is better to live when I have to deceive?

'Cause I don't know exactly who I am supposed to be

Can someone look me in the eyes and tell me who it is I am exactly?

Can someone tell me?

Even though another day has passed without an answer

In this world, I fear that there may not be one at all to find

And if that's true I wouldn't mind as long as I can still laugh with you

Quickly, it's racing, this heart in my chest

My whole body is shaking, I'm screaming out!

Maybe it's a sign that now's the time

I wish with all my heart that I will overcome this

Weakness in my soul devouring it time and time again

Every mistake that I have made 'til now

'Cause I wanna see you smile

Never not ever

Will I hurt another

I want - I just want to be stronger still

So I can protect all those I love with all I am

So it's a promise

I swear this with all that I am

I'll keep running - I'm running, I'm racing on

So I can surpass the me who's holding me back!
