Spreading before my eyes is a diorama of days
+
That seem the way the world believes them to be, but are not
+
In the moment that I began to doubt, I felt myself stand up on my own two legs
+
I have no reason to keep pushing forward, but right now, I just have to
+
Oh, lost and wavering, the dream I embraced is only half-finished yet
+
In what way is this cruel, accelerating reality
+
This single, little body that's cast off the anxiety of not knowing its own measure?
+
Only the flickering afterimages of daylight remain in my mind
+
What sort of smile am I smiling now?
+
At the least, I will live so that love will reach the people I must protect
+
I place myself in this listlessly peaceful happiness
+
And fear the loneliness of finding there is no place to wake to reality within it
+
Oh, I trace my way through a lifetime's worth of memories that can never be changed
+
In the moment when I, who'd always lived enslaved to my emotions,
+
And discovered a warmth I knew I never wanted to lose,
+
I wanted to be stronger than anyone else
+
Now, I make this oath to that serene, truest of blue skies
+
At the least, I will live so that love will reach the people I must protect
+
Even if I vanish utterly, even if I'm smashed to pieces,
+
If I will remain hereafter as a memory,
+
I will think, I will run,
+
Connected by an unseen thread to those who will take over the safeguarding of love
+
In what way is this cruel, accelerating reality
+
This single, little body that's cast off the anxiety of not knowing its own measure?
+
Only the flickering afterimages of daylight remain in my mind
+
What sort of smile am I smiling now?
+
At the least, I will live so that love will reach the people I must protect
+
