Count To Four

Somewhere we make mistakes
Heading off to tomorrow
Treading on heaven
Is it true that
Another hell exists?
As if this is just life
Mistakes are norms
Death is but a long rest

Won't rain ever fall
On this barren canyon?
Pieces of humans
Trying to live
Holding on to each other
Like love and hatred
Will you ever stop
And take a rest

Can you see the field of stars?
Where adventure awaits
If heaven is but a lie
Then revenge is but bitter
I saw little children playing in the field
Before I left that place
Destroyed the serenity
Sent death upon the garden
You would understand had you been in my place
But there is no need for you
To understand darkness

Everyone knows
That rain never falls there
Yet never stops here
Everybody cares
The cord stays unbroken
A door remains sealed

Sometimes I wish I could disappear
Along with these dirty hands
Do you think you'll be satisfied
When you have never befriended despair?
Waiting for a full moon
An owl hoots a lullaby
Reflected off the lake
Images from the past

Every morning
Wake up before the sun rises
Maybe you'll see me
Still standing on the horizon

Birth Of The Traveler

Even when everything falls apart
Even if reality sucks
何も手に入れられなくても
One will be by my side when I cry
Why am I running away

The atmosphere around me just changed
Swirls of aura
Everything is clear, but nothing is obvious
People are selfish
Too selfish, I am scared
They'll eliminate me one day
I won't die bearing grudges
I repeat that too often
But I am truly lonely
I want people I can trust

Every year, on that one day
People gather and dance, and sing and celebrate
With beautiful idols leading on the stage
Spotlights run wild alongside red fireworks
Live the night till sunrise
They smile but they know
Inside they are crying
It is a normal thing, I've understood that a long time ago
What sets me apart from them
What blinds my eyes
Is the aurora waves
Conveying messages
So dark, so meaningless

Sometimes when I come across idols
I can only look at them from far away
Wishing they'd notice me
Wondering how their lives are like
It's what everyone does isn't it?
No matter who, once they rise to fame
People will want to get near them
Get to know them and get noticed
And again I got dragged away from those idols
By my own bodyguards, from my own fans
Away from the crowd that's cheering my name
And in that flicker of a second
Our glances met
From behind the dark window of my car
We exchanged smiles
They say I'm weird, I wonder why

なんとなくここまできた
故郷に戻れなくていい
僕は好き嫌いのない人
別にどうでも構わないや
ただひたすら
信用できる人と一緒にいられない

I stand strong and tall
Waving and smiling to the crowd
One day I'll tear open the sky
And venture into the worlds outside
Away from this rubbish world
Yes, I am running away
Why suffer when I can leave?
Therefore I'll escape
And become a traveler

Beneath A White Sky

How were we supposed to know
When we face the same way
In a triangle of a white world
Where tiny specks of snow fall

As one of each walks along
Treading on and on
Though we brush each other at a point
How were we supposed to know
That we were torn

Amongst the wilderness
Through a stream of rushing lads
One of us sat waiting for snow to fall
And hes eyes gazed
As the first flake flew down
Then two eyes met
And still we never knew
Just got up and walked down the road

It was just a dream
A long real dream
Gazing up at a wide blue sky
Fighting over things
I leant against your back
Searching for tranquility
And stood there and started mocking
We smiled
As the sky shattered to pieces

How long do we have to walk alone
Before we really know
Were the eyes those I used to know
Or are you someone new
We were naive, not knowing
That someone waits
In a triangle it started to snow again
