Daydreaming is useless
Imagination...

Meisou, mousou torimaku kuusou hikaku no naka ni uzumaku kanjou
Torawaru aijou uzumetsuku yokujou hitomi no oku ni chiisana mujou
Honnou shinai muimi na TV mahi shita sekai ni kimyou na shikisai
Shirazu shirazu osen sare nokotta sedai ga tsune ni jibaku
Uso de katameta shiroi shisen sakkaku shite iru haiiro no yuuwaku
Semegi ai hitobito momare sakarai sakebun da kousa chiten
And then we must comprehend
Life will prevail the end

Like a prayer...

Create a cause of over relation
Emotions in antecipation
Expressionless... Temptation...
Daydreaming is useless
Imagination...
Infestation...sensation...
Vibration...obsession...
Conception...confession...
Expectation

Gomakasu shinjitsu na yami houmurisareta ato no yoin
Genkaku sakkaku futatsu no aida sora wa daremo uragiranai
Hyakusenrenma no yukusue ni nokoru wa gokaku no zangai hitotsu
Nattoku shikkaku kurikaeshi tonikaku shirazu ni watari aruku
Mayakashi tsuzuketa ayamachi wa kekkyoku tooi kyuusakamichi
Hodou shinzou hayasugiru kodou ore no kitai wa choudo rotou
And then we must comprehend
Life will prevail in the end

Mayotte yuuki notta kidou sotto futta sora ni kibou
Hashi ni shikkari tsukamatte ochinai you ni sasaetete
Subete wo kanji, shinji, chotto raku ni shiawase kanjitara
Onaji itami wakachiaeru sore wa sonna ni tookunai
Oboekirenai kotoba no kazukazu ikutsumo kokoro ni kakitodomenagara
Matteru mirai to tomo ni ayumi, manabe, susumi, ikite iru
Kotoba ni dashite wa ienai nanika kakaete oretachi ikite iru
Ittai zentai nani no tame? Nikushimi ubau dare no tame?
Kizu wo name au mono doushi itami wo iyasu mono doushi
Shizuka ni sotto mimi wo sumashi kikoete kuru kedo yume rashii!
