it's an easy thing to place dependence on something
like following the markers
exactly as noted on the given map
however, the choices i make as to what counts as important
is how i came to be
my heart is filled
with memories and existence
i've commited a lot of mistakes
but as long as there is meaning to life
i can walk on
having refused the words you offered
i was left to stand helplessly
embracing the pain, the regret... everything
bearing them on my back
i live
the string of musical passages
served as a reminder
to tell me that i am myself
therefore it's all right; i can stand
the world is immensely complex
there is no single answer
but now...
i want to protect, i want to live
that's why i picked up my sword
even if tomorrow i must turn my back
against the tender memories of the past when i come to face them, ah...
i had been searching for something i was missing
only to realize that it was here all along
the people i love, a place to defend
i won't allow myself to lose them anymore
i will not be defeated
