Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji
中身の無い唄を聞き漁り 心が満たされるわけでもなく 隠しきれない傷と 満面の笑みで語りかけ つぶらな瞳　闇を照らす 答えが欲しい　空像に口無し 生きる為にかけ 錆を落とし理解の餓え 開き覗く 輪になって囲む　捨てる教養 マンホールから覗く君達もおいで? 慣れてくるはずさ 慣れてきた? 道に添えた花束が笑う 隠しきれない傷と 満面の笑みで語りかけ つぶらな瞳　闇を照らす 答えが欲しい　空像に口無し 羽根の無い背を向け 拒む未来 流れた刻は平等に問う　生き方 降り積もる　願い 散れば愛おしく 誰もが見ようとしない　その花束が 見詰めた未来	Nakami no nai uta o kiki asari Kokoro ga mitasareru wake de mo naku Kakushikirenai kizu to Manmen no emi de katarikake Tsubura na hitomi　Yami o terasu Kotae ga hoshii　Kūzō ni kuchinashi Ikiru tame ni kaketa kagi Sabi o otoshi rikai no ue Hiraki nozoku Wa ni natte kakomu　Suteru kyōyō Manhōru kara nozoku kimi-tachi mo oide? Naretekuru hazu sa Naretekita? Michi ni soeta hanataba ga warau Kakushikirenai kizu to Manmen no emi de katarikake Tsubura na hitomi　Yami o terasu Kotae ga hoshii　Kūzō ni kuchinashi Hane no nai se o muke Kobamu mirai Nagareta toki wa byōdō ni tō　Ikikata Furitsumoru　Negai Chireba itōshiku Dare mo ga miyō to shinai　Sono hanataba ga Mitsumeta mirai
Translations
Translation on ARCHE	Translation on 「我葬の詩」下巻
Listening away to music with no substance Not exactly fulfilling my heart Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin Those innocent eyes light the darkness I want an answer The sky has no mouth I locked it in order to live I cleaned off the rust, starving in comprehension I opened to take a look Gathering around in a circle Throwing away education You guys looking through the manhole, Why don't you come join us? You'll get used to it Are you used to it? The bouquet placed by the road laughs Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin Those innocent eyes light the darkness I want an answer The sky has no mouth Turn towards the back with no wings I reject the future Time that has passed asks us equally, the way of life Prayers pile up If it scatters it means it's precious The bouquet no one tries to see taught me I stared at the future	Listening away to music with no substance Not exactly fulfilling my heart Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin Those innocent eyes light the darkness I want an answer The vacant image has no mouth I locked it in order to live I cleaned off the rust, starving in comprehension I opened to take a look Gathering around in a circle Throwing away education You guys looking through the manhole, why don't you come join us? You'll get used to it Are you getting used to it? The bouquet placed by the road laughs Speaking to me with that visible scar and wide grin Those innocent eyes light the darkness I want an answer The vacant image has no mouth Turning my back without wings towards you I reject the future Time that has passed asks us equally, the way of life Prayers pile up It's precious if it scatters The bouquet no one tries to see is the future I gaze
