the pillows- midnight down

Kamawanai de yo
RASUTO SHIIN wa jibun no me de miru
Sawaranai de yo
Furueteru mune no itami wa mada choukeshi janai
Burasagattari kyuu ni patto te wo hanashitari
Nemurenai hibi, nanjuu toori no kotae wo dashita
Soshite ima

Sekai wo fukitobashite
Jiyuu dake wo suikonda
Kurayami wo kuguri nukete
Kimi no kao shika minain da
Midnight down

Kagimawatteru norainu wa inaku naranai
Karakawareta rakugaki no ato
O-ki ni mesu mama kazattaina yo
Sabaku ni ita koto wa nai keredo shitteru
Hito-shizuku no namida sae denai kawaita me de
Kimi wo mitsuketa

Sekai wo fukitobashite
Jiyuu dake wo suikonda
Kurayami wo kugurinukete
Kimi no kao shika minain da
Midnight down

Nutta you ni kuroi yoru no sora ni
Hora tsuki ga naname ni ukanderu
‘Koko da yo’ tte kimi ga yobu nara
Doko he datte toberu you na ki ga shiteru

Kokoro ni buki wo motte
Machibuse bakari datta
Anna ni kurushikatta
Akumu ga uso mitai da

Sekai wo fukitobashite
Jiyuu dake wo suikonda
Kurayami wo kuguri nukete
Kimi no kao shika minain da
Midnight down
Don’t worry about it!
I’ll watch the last scene with my own eyes
Leave me alone!
The pain of my trembling heart still won’t stop
Sleepless nights, left to hang then suddenly letting go,
I answered in a hundred ways
And now

To hell with the world
I breathed in my freedom
Your face is the only thing I can see
As I slip through the darkness
Midnight down

The stray dog sniffing about won’t go away
The graffiti they mocked
I’ll draw it how I like
I’ve never been to the desert, but I know
With these dry eyes which shed not a single teardrop
I still found you

To hell with the world
I breathed in my freedom
Your face is the only thing I can see
As I slip through the darkness
Midnight down

Look! In the black-painted night sky
The moon rises in an arc
If you told me ‘I’m here’
I’d feel like I could fly anywhere

There are weapons in my heart
Ready for an ambush
It was so painful
That unbelievable nightmare

To hell with the world
I breathed in my freedom
Your face is the only thing I can see
As I slip through the darkness
Midnight down
