I want to live forever

And if I could live forever everything would come true But everything I have keeps driving me During the time I have left to live

Where can I find my dreams? Even though everything is precious to me Sou iu shikou teishi bakari tokui ni natta I took pride when I quit thinking like that Iya na koto bakkari de mou unzari da yo Fureru mono wo kagayakashite yuku Sonna michi wo ikite kitakatta yo I’ve had enough of only having the things I hate The things I have experienced brighten the path that I wanted to live Asette bakari no hibi subete kiesou Demo sabotte mo miru datte tsukarechau ja nai Sonna mujun shikou atashi atama dokka Shiranai uchiutta mitai da The days of only hurrying all vanish But I try to skip even though I’m not completely exhausted I had such contradictory thoughts I guess I didn’t know that I got hit somewhere on the head Zutto okiterareru kusuri ha oitemasen ka? Could you give me medicine to keep me up forever? Kaseki ni natte shimaisou nan da yo Darekara mo wasurerareta you na Kusunda sonzai ni natte shimau yo I’m already turning into a fossil Like being forgotten by everyone I’ll become a dusty existence Jibun de hoo tataite sonzai no shoumei he I slap my own face as proof of my existence Aruite kita michi furikaeranai

Even if it’s only the things I hate I’ll move forward The things I have experienced

brighten the existence that I’ll become

I'll show them to you
