Lyrics
Rōmaji= Nemure nai yoru ni kiita monogatari ga esoragoto dato shitara

Eien wo shiru yori kairaku wo motomete Ima wo kuyande shimau nowa Kokoro no fukaku ni sumi tsuita kage kara Nigeru tame dato shitara

Sore demo atashi wa atashi wo aishite irareru nara

Hanbun ni wareta taiyou ga asa wo tsurete kite Yami ni nareta shinkei wo jiwari shigeki suru Oki wasureta nounai wa aete sono mama de Shinario no kieta monogatari da

Jiyuu ni jiyuu ni kaji wo totte motto takaku e mai agatte

Kime tsuketa kotae no uragawa de naiteru Ano ko no koe wa kikoe nai Kanjou nante dare ka no sabita monosashi de Hakaru mono dewa nai darou

Dare no tame janaku atashi wa atashi ga Ima wo warau tame ni kizu wo kaku shiteru Sukoshi kareta koe de esoragoto wo utau Ima koko ni aru mono ga subete da

Hanbun ni wareta taiyou de mata kyou ga hajimaru Monogatari no tsuzuki wa kono te no naka Aisareru koto ga ketsumatsu janai kara Mita sareru dake ja tari nai deshou

Jiyuu ni jiyuu ni kaji wo totte motto tooku e tori ni natte Jiyuu ni jiyuu ni kaji wo totte motto takaku e hoshi ni natte

Kanji= 眠れない夜に聞いた物語が絵空事だとしたら

永遠を知るより快楽を求めて 今を悔やんでしまうのは ココロの深くに棲みついた影から 逃げるためだとしたら

それでもあたしはあたしを愛していられるなら

半分に割れた太陽が朝を連れてきて 闇に慣れた神経をじわり刺激する 置き忘れた脳内はあえてそのままで シナリオの消えた物語だ

自由に自由に舵を取って もっと高くへ舞い上がって

決め付けた答えの裏側で泣いてる あの子の声は聞こえない 感情なんてだれかの錆びた物差しで 測るものではないだろう

だれのためじゃなくあたしはあたしが 今を笑うために傷を隠してる 少し枯れた声で絵空事を歌う 今ここにあるものがすべてだ

半分に割れた太陽でまた今日が始まる 物語の続きはこの手の中 愛されることが結末じゃないから 満たされるだけじゃ足りないでしょう

自由に自由に舵を取って もっと遠くへ鳥になって 自由に自由に舵を取って もっと高くへ星になって

English = If the stories I heard on the nights I couldn’t sleep were fantasies

Rather than eternity, I sought pleasure What if I am regretting the present Because I want to escape from the shadow Residing deep inside my heart

Even so, if I can still love myself

A sun that’s split into half brings morning with it Slowly stimulating my nerves, which are used to the dark I’d just leave whatever was forgotten in my brain as it is A story with vanished scripts

Steering freely, freely, going higher up

I can’t hear the voice of the girl Who is crying behind the unchangeable answer Emotions are not things That can be measured by someone’s rusty ruler, right?

I will hide my scars, not for anyone else But for myself, so that I can laugh in the present Singing about my fantasies in a slightly hoarse voice All that’s here now is my everything

With the sun split into half, the day begins again The continuation to this story is in my hands Being loved is not the end Because it’s not enough to just be filled with love, right

Steering freely, freely, flying farther and becoming a bird Steering freely, freely, going higher and becoming a star
