Kaketeru mono dake atsumete mita kedo
Kokoro no sukima hirogaru bakari de
Moshimo sekai ni hikari atte mo
Kitto watashi ni en wa nai kara
Minikukute mo bukiyou demo
Itsuka wa koko wo tobitatsu yo
Akai hoshi wo michishirube ni
Daremo mitakoto nai basho e
Hoshii mono nara donna shudan demo
Sore ga ruuru de sore de ikite kita
Hontou no koto wa daremo minna
Oshiete kurenakatta
Hito no nukumori ni kitai wa shinai
Saigo ni nokoru no wa tada hitori
Yubiori kazoeru chimitsu na keikaku
Subete jibun no keisan doori ni
Ato wa emono ga wana ni kakareba
Subete kanpeki umaku iku kedo
Kami no me mo damaseru hodo ni
Jouzu na mane ga dekita tte
Honmono ni nare nai koto wa
Saisho kara mou wakatteru
Umareta hi kara nani mo motanakatta
Me ni utsuru mono minna tanin datta
Tashika na mono nara nandemo ii
Semete hitotsu hoshikutte
Dare no iu koto ga tadashii no ka
Wakaranai mama soredemo ii sa
Yogoreta mizube de kuufuku no mizutori wa
Nukarumu jimen ni ashi wo torarenu you ni
Hoshii mono nara donna shudan demo
Sore ga ruuru de sore de ikite kita
Hontou no koto wa daremo minna
Oshiete kurenakatta
Hito no nukumori ni kitai wa shinai
Saigo ni nokoru no wa hitori
Sore mo ii iki no koreru nara
I tried collecting just the things that were missing
But the spaces in my heart just kept getting bigger
Even if light were to exist in this world
It's probably not in the cards for me
I may be ugly, I may be awkward
But someday, I’ll fly away from here
Using the red star as my guide
I'll go to a place no one has ever seen
If there’s something you want, use any means necessary
That’s the rule and that’s how I’ve lived
Did me the favor of telling me the truth
No one, not anyone,
I have no expectation of warmth from people
What'll be left in the end is just me alone
I count on my fingers, the steps for this elaborate scheme
Everything’s going just as planned
If the prey is trapped, then after that
Everything will be perfect, so it’s all going well
Even God’s eyes can be deceived
If you can pull off a successful mimicry
That I’d never be able to be the real thing
I already knew from the beginning
From the day I was born, I had nothing
The people reflected in my eyes were all strangers
If it’s a certain thing, then anything’s fine
At least let me want that much
Whose words are right?
I’ve got no clue, but that’s fine by me
It’s like the hungry shorebirds at the dirty waterside
Can’t even keep their footing on the muddy ground
If there’s something you want, use any means necessary
That’s the rule and that’s how I’ve lived
Did me the favor of telling me the truth
No one, not anyone,
I have no expectation of warmth from people
The last one standing is alone
And that’s fine by me, since I can survive that
Kaketeru mono dake atsumete mita kedo
Kokoro no sukima hirogaru bakari de
Moshimo sekai ni hikari atte mo
Kitto watashi ni en wa nai kara
Minikukute mo bukiyou demo
Itsuka wa koko wo tobitatsu yo
Akai hoshi wo michishirube ni
Daremo mitakoto nai basho e
Hoshii mono nara donna shudan demo
Sore ga ruuru de sore de ikite kita
Hontou no koto wa daremo minna
Oshiete kurenakatta
Hito no nukumori ni kitai wa shinai
