Lyrics (TV size)
Kanji= 泣き出しそうな表情(かお)で憂う低い空 苛立ち混じりの唾を吐く 何もかもが壊れそうな不安抱いて明日に怯え 明後日ばっか見てたって答えは出ないことだってわかってる

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く Rōmaji= Nakidashisou na kao de ureu hikui sora Iradachi majiri no tsuba wo haku Nanimo kamo ga koware sou na fuan daite asu ni obie Asatte bakka mitetatte kotae wa denai koto datte wakatte

Kagirinaku hirogaru masshiro na ashita ni nani wo egaku Genjitsu ga someyuku makkura na ashita ni nani wo egaku Mogaki kagayaku

Kagirinaku hirogaru masshiro na ashita ni nani wo egaku Genjitsu ga someyuku makkura na ashita ni nani wo egaku Mogaki kagayaku English translation= The low sky grieves with a face that's about to cry I spit them out, mixed with my irritation Fearing a tomorrow where I embrace the anxiety that everything's about to shatter And looking only at the day after tomorrow won't bring me on an answer, I know that

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine

Lyrics (Full)
Kanji= 泣き出しそうな表情(かお)で憂う低い空 する事もなく時間(とき)を削る 吐き出す場のない思いを飲み込んで 苛立ち混じりの唾を吐く

何もかもが壊れそうな不安抱いて明日に怯え 明後日ばっか見てたって答えは出ないことだってわかってる

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く

悩んでる自分がなんかダサくて じっとしてらんなくてバックレ やりたい事そんなもんないぜ 屋上でこっそり咥えるマイセン なんか楽しくねえ今日のサイゼ 心配そうな目で見てるマイメン 「泣いてないぜ」なんて吐いて 強がってみてもマジ辛いぜ 通いなれた薄暗い道路 やっとの思い買った iPod 上辺だけの薄っぺらい RAP 何故か重い薄っぺらの BAG 優しく暖かいはずの場所 重苦しくて開け放つ窓 重圧に押し潰されそうで 逃げ込んだいつもの公園

何もかもが壊れそうな不安抱いて明日に怯え 明後日ばっか見てたって答えは出ないことだってわかってる

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く

限りある僅かな時の中 ヘタクソな自分描け 今はまだそれでいい

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く

限りなく広がる真っ白な明日に何を描く 現実が染め行く真っ暗な明日に何を描く もがき輝く Rōmaji= Nakidashi sou na kao de ueru hikui sora Suru koto mo naku toki wo kezuru Haki dasu ba no nai omoi wo nomikonde Iradachi majiri no tsuba wo haku

Kagirinaku hirogaru masshiro na ashita ni nani wo egaku Genjitsu ga someyuku makkura na ashita ni nani wo egaku Mogaki kagayaku English translation= The low sky grieves with a face that's about to cry Without ever doing so, it shaves off a moment Swallowing the thoughts with no place to be vomited I spit them out, mixed with my irritation

Fearing a tomorrow where I embrace the anxiety that everything's about to shatter And looking only at the day after tomorrow won't bring me an answer--I know that

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine

It's so lame for me to fret And I refuse to sit still as I play dumb There's nothing at all I want to do I stealthily hold a cigarette in my mouth on the rooftop Somehow, being at Saizeriya today isn't any fun I'm watching my main man with worried eyes Even if I lie, "I ain't crying!" And try to act tough, it seriously hurts I'm used to commuting through a dim highway The iPod I bought after a huge hassle Shallow rap that's got nothing more than a shiny surface A flimsy bag that's heavy for some reason The place that should be pleasantly warm Is oppressive, and I throw open a window I'm about to be flattened by heavy pressure In the usual park that I run away into

Fearing a tomorrow where I embrace the anxiety that everything's about to shatter And looking only at the day after tomorrow won't bring me an answer--I know that

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine

Draw a crappy-looking sketch of yourself Within a limited, cramped amount of time Right now, I'm still fine with that

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine

What will I draw on the tomorrow that spreads infinitely, pure white? What will I draw on the tomorrow that reality stained pure black? I struggle and shine
