Other such places exist all over Japan. You should visit sometime. But, of course… Never. Set foot. Inside…”

Did it smell of blood? No one knows at this point… However, they say that the Yomibito’s scent is that of rain. In olden times, the people of Mihate Town used to sprinkle rainwater when burying the dead. The Yomibito, then…”

僕の背中は自分が 思うより正直かい?

誰かに聞かなきゃ不安になってしまうよ

旅立つ僕の為に ちかったあの夢は

古ぼけた 教室の すみにおきざりのまま

あの泥だらけのスニーカーじゃ 追い越せないのは

電車でも時間でもなく 僕かもしれないけど

どんなときも どんなときも 僕が僕らしくあるために

「好きなものは好き!」と 言えるきもち抱きしめてたい

どんなときもどんなときも 迷い探し続ける日々が

答えになること僕は知ってるから

もしも他の誰かを 知らずに傷つけても

絶対ゆずれない 夢が僕にはあるよ

"昔は良かったね"と いつも口にしながら

生きて行くのは本当に嫌だから

消えたいくらい辛い気持ち

抱えていても 鏡の前笑ってみる

まだ平気みたいだよ

どんなときも どんなときも ビルの間きゅうくつそうに

落ちて行く夕陽に 焦る気持ち溶かして行こう

そしていつか誰かを愛し その人を守れる強さを

自分の力に変えて行けるように

どんなときも どんなときも 僕が僕らしくあるために

「好きなものは好き!」と 言えるきもち抱きしめてたい

どんなときも どんなときも 迷い探し続ける日々が

答えになること僕は知ってるから
