もし水面に上がれたら 見えるかも この「自分」ってものが ただの盾だったって 「これが自分だから」って言い訳も ちゃんと向き合わないための 口実でしかない --- If I surface, I might see All the wreckage that is me Every memory’s a sea mine Set to shred what I believe I’ve been treading in denial Deep-diving in deceit Where the pressure of my past Makes every heartbeat a scream I’ve been patching up a dam With nothing but a grin and a meme While the leaks turn to legends That they whisper in their sleep I’m a glitch in the machine That keeps insisting it’s pristine But the code is written In red flags and nicotine --- もし水面に上がれたら 見えるかも この「自分」ってものが ただの盾だったって 「これが自分だから」って言い訳も ちゃんと向き合わないための 口実でしかない --- I see my habits in the Habitrail Chasing cheap rewards Same cheese, same maze Same creaky floor My reflection’s in the puddle By the exit door Every step I take toward change I hate it more Been ducking from the mirror Like I swing it with a knife A reflection’s just a sentence That’s been looking for a life And I’m guilty of the crime Making “someday” my alibi Pleading I was gonna grow Like intentions would satisfy --- もし水面に上がれたら 見えるかも この「自分」ってものが ただの盾だったって 「これが自分だから」って言い訳も ちゃんと向き合わないための 口実でしかない もし水面に上がれたら 見えるかも この「自分」ってものが ただの盾だったって 「これが自分だから」って言い訳も ちゃんと向き合わないための 口実でしかない --- Vertigo, vertical Staircase with no rail Trying to sprint up to improvement With my shoelaces impaled Every motive that I mail Gets returned: “Detail failed” ’Cause I never add address I just scribble, never veil I’m a cannonball of trauma In a kiddie pool of pride Every joke I crack is armor I can slip behind You can hear the clank of metal Every time I laugh or cry Same sound, different angle Call it pain in disguise --- 口実でしかない 口実でしかない
