Even after years, the shadow doesn't fade; it only invites more emotions

I crouched, and I drew alone

The blazing sun overhead, on a hilly road, we walked, blurry figures,

The summer heat in our eyes

"Don't mind me", "Just go off somewhere", and I brushed your hand away

"I won't go", you said to me, and grabbed mine back

"You're so annoying!" I walked a little bit ahead, without looking back

"What's your real heart?"

With things like "wisdom," I can't look forward; There's no reason, so I keep rotting

If only things could be wound back...

As many years pass, I won't die, always proclaiming hopeful ideas,

Even though, naturally, you're still not here...

Saying "I don't care, go die, go die", I grab my wrist and curse

I can't do anything, so I just casually indulge in life

"If the summer can show us dreams, let's go to before you were taken away," I say...

The days I hid out of shame light up the air, scorching my mind...

A boy at the age of 18 waited somewhere again

It's a blurry silhouette, but he remembers the shape

On a campus clear under a blazing sun, you were smiling again

Again you said "let's play," and gently swayed...

"I'm worried," says an awkward face. Some neighbor wouldn't understand;

Stop pretending to be so sad

Let's keep living faint and unnaturally today, let's keep to yesterday's pace,

So I won't forget your warmth...

If I'm wishing for a dream that can't come true, then I may as well embrace the hurt past,

And have a dream I won't wake up from. As if naturally, I secluded myself...

"So you can't even see tomorrow, then?"

I'm perfectly fine with that...

I stain my hands to kill off the boring days, because I chose to be "alone"...

A rotten, 18-year-old youth was praying another day

Still clinging tight onto your colorful smile...

To the blazing sun I muttered, "Just take me with you, somehow";

And my breath quietly stopped...

The voice of "Can you hear me?" vanished,

And I somehow understood the reason

I reached out to the summer warmth...

Under the blazing sun, a boy had wished to stand in the "then"

And your summery smile still remained unchanging...

"I'm sorry I died" you say;

"Shall we say our 'goodbyes'?", you say;

Don't say such lonely things, don't leave me

The silhouettes were watching, this kind of "me"...

数年経っても影は消えない　感情ばかりが募って行く

踞って一人描いていた

炎天直下　坂道の上　滲んだ僕らが歩いていた

夏の温度が目に残っていた

「構わないでよ、」「何処かへ行ってくれ」君の手を払った

「行かないよ」なんて言って君は僕の手を掴んだ

「五月蠅いな」僕はちょっとの先を振り返ずに歩いた

『本当の心は？』

「聡明」なんかじゃ前は向けない　理由が無いから腐って行く

巻き戻ってくれれば良いのにな

何年経っても僕は死なない　希望論ばかりを唱えている

当然今日も君は居ないのにさ

「構わない、死ねよ、死ねよ」って手首を握って、ただ呪って

何も出来ないでただ、のうのうと人生を貪った

「夏が夢を見せるのなら、君を連れ去る前へ」なんて

照れ隠しした日々が　空気を照らして脳裏を焦がしていく

18歳になった少年　また何処かで待っていたんだ

カゲボウシ滲む姿を思い出して

炎天下に澄んだ校庭　笑っていた君が今日も

「遊ぼうよ」って言ってユラユラ揺れた

「心配です」と不器用な顔　隣人なんかには解んないさ

悲しそうなフリをしないでくれ

朦朧、今日も不自然でいよう　昨日のペースを守っていよう

君の温度を忘れない様に

叶わない夢を願うのならいっそ掠れた過去を抱いて

覚めない夢を見よう　当然の様に閉じ篭って

「それじゃあ、明日も見えないままですよ？」

それならそれで良いさ

つまらない日々を殺す様に手を染め、『一人』を選ぶから

18歳、腐った少年　また今日も祈ってたんだ

色めいた君の笑顔にしがみついて

炎天下に「どうかいっそ連れてってくれよ」なんて

呟いて息を静かに止めた

「聞こえていますか」と声が消えた

理由もなんだか解っていた

夏の温度に手を伸ばしていた

炎天下、願った少年　「あの頃」に立っていたんだ

夏めく君の笑顔は変わらなくて

「死んじゃった。ごめんね」なんて

「『サヨウナラ』しようか」なんて

寂しいこと言わないで　往かないで

カゲボウシがそんな僕を見つめていたんだ
