Translation & romaji by: teddiursa

tsukiakari no heya kokoro no sumizumi made itakushiyou
kimi no te no naka de hitokake no koori no you toketeyukeru nara

Moonlight spills into the room
with a hurt that floods the depths of our souls
Much like a shard of ice,
should you slowly thaw it in your palms

nami no nai machi de ukanda kagerou ni
tsutsumareteyuku inochi wa mada saiteyuku kara

A heat haze hangs over the static of the streetscape
Where all the lives yet to fully bloom
may someday be engulfed in the shimmer of its waves

kodoku na hane wo sarashite kimi dake no habataki wo misete
mabayui toki wo odoritsuzukeyou chikara tsukiru made ni

Show your lonely feathers
and let them weather the storm
And may your wings flutter, as only they can
Let our dance continue through these blinding lights
Until our time comes to burn out

kazaranai kokoro yubiwa darake no yubisaki sagasu keredo
poketto no kagi wo ijikuru you ni dareka no kizu ni sawatte

The purest, simplest of hearts
long for those with fingers heavily adorned with rings,
tracing over others' flaws
as if merely fidgeting
with the keys in their pocket

moeutsurisou ni mabataku hoshitachi wa
taeta inori ni netsu wo hanachi kieteyuku no ka

The twinkling stars,
burning higher in the sky
Once they exhaust all their prayers
I wonder if they'll release all their heat
and vanish into the night

kanawanu yume wo chirashite kono mune ni hibiku jounetsu wa
honoo wo matezu koe mo kasuka ni midaremogaiteiru yo

Scattered remnants of long-abandoned dreams
And before their blaze can even reach me
The fire in my heart ignites
With just a hint of its struggle
bleeding through in my voice

kodoku na hane wo kasanete umarete wa habataku omoi wo
shinjiteru nara ai wo kikasete hoho wo nurasu made ni

With the same lonely feathers as mine,
you entered into this world
Thus, our wings stir a flurry of emotions
And if they ring true for you
Enchant me with the melody of love
until I'm moved to tears

nee dareka ga sasayaiteru yo kono yoru no tobira no mukou de
utsuroiyureru negai no hate ni ai wo motomenagara

Can't you hear the soft whispers
of someone's voice behind the door tonight?
Their hopes may shift and change with time
But what forever remains
is their wish to be loved
