[edit] Kanji

ただ息を吐く 胸で波打つ弱い鼓動 止めぬように
私の中を軋み流れる 真紅の砂 止めぬように

すれ違う人に触れず
温もりは幻覚だと 言葉を研ぎ澄ます

未完成 描く地図は飢えた絵物語
傷つけ傷付いて いつか果てる
美しいものにだけ与えられた光
不恰好なこの身まで照らし出して
…まだ、終われない…

比べるものがそこに在るから 無駄な涙流れてゆく
優しい場所を求め抗い 水のように流れてゆく

決意など口にすれば儚くて
誰のせい?と怒りを吐き捨てる

未完成 描く夢は聞いたお伽話
知らぬは罪深く 裏切れない
高く聳えた影 焼けた空を見てる
「いつかあれに届く」 伸ばした腕
…まだ、下ろせない…

打ちのめす声はいつも現実で
安らぎなど揺らめく影法師

未完成 理想郷へは遥か追いつけない
億年住み着いた愛は何処
選んで来たのなら せめて目蓋開き
形ないあの夢の終わり探す
…まだ、信じてる…

tada iki wo haku mune de namiutsu yowai kodou tomenu you ni
watashi no naka wo kishiminagareru shinku no suna tomenu you ni

sure chigau hito ni furezu
nukumori wa genkaku da to kotoba wo togisumasu

mikansei kaku chizu wa ueta e monogatari
kizutsuke kizutsuite itsuka hateru
utsukushii mono ni dake ataerareta hikari
bukakkou na kono mi made terashidashite
...mada, owarenai...

kuraberu mono ga soko ni aru kara muda na namida nagarete yuku
yasashii basho wo motome aragai mizu no you ni nagarete yuku

ketsui nado kuchi ni sureba hakanakute
dare no sei? to ikari wo hakisuteru

mikansei kaku yume wa kiita otogibanashi
shiranu wa tsumi fukaku uragirenai
takaku sobieta kage yaketa sora wo miteru
"itsuka are ni todoku" nobashita ude
...mada, orosenai...

uchinomesu koe wa itsumo genjitsu de
yasuragi nado yurameku kageboushi

mikansei risoukyou e wa haruka oitsukenai
okunen sumitsuita ai wa izuko
erande kita no nara semete mabuta hiraki
katachi nai ano yume no owari sagasu
...mada, shinjiteru...


[edit] English Translation

I just sigh
So this weak heartbeat doesn't stop
So the crimson sand
That creaks and flows within me doesn't stop

I sharpen my words
Saying warmth is just an illusion
As I pass by people without touching them

Imperfect, the map we make is a starving picture book
We hurt and get hurt and someday it will end
The light that's given only to the beautiful
Even shines on this clumsy body of mine
...It can't end yet...

Because there's something there to compare myself to
I shed useless tears
We long and fight for a gentle place
Flowing like water

If I put my resolve into words, it's so fragile
Who's fault is that? you say angrily

Imperfect, the dream we dream is a fairytale we heard
Ignorance is sin, but I can't betray you
I look up at the burnt sky, the tall shadows blocking my way
"Someday I'll reach it," I say, raising my hand
...I can't lower it yet...

Reality is always the voice that knocks me down
Peace is a shimmering shadow

Imperfect, utopia is so far away
Where is the love that will last a hundred million years?
If this is what you've chosen, then open your eyes
And search for the end of that dream without a shape
...I still believe...
