着火

午後三時目を覚ます

無駄にした時間と害の無い現状に

もう全部全部嫌になる

一本吸ってガムを噛み吐き捨てて

今日が終わっていく倦怠感に

右往左往して気づきゃgood night

顔面照らすライト of iPhone

画面にはタップ稼ぐための両極論

もうホントホント嫌になる

人生だってこの時の引き延ばし

あっという間に終わってしまうんだって

ふと気づいた瞬間

分かってどうか僕の事を

叫んでいるんだ僕はここだ

黙って泣いて誤魔化す

なんて真似ばっかだけど

あの日灯ったハートの火と　　

侮辱と揶揄の雨の中に

投げ捨てたメンソールの火は

まだ燃えてるんだ

飲み切った缶ですら

僅かでも灰皿に成り代わる程度の

価値があるのだから

堕落した僕ですら

少しでも輝ける様な瞬間が

あるというのならば

ねぇ確かに夢や青春なんてのは一過性のもので　　　　　

過ぎ去ってしまったら平熱の毎日だけど

頭の中で怒鳴ってるあのヤンキーの声が

もう切っても切っても鳴り止まない

笑ってどうか僕の事を

聞こえていますか僕はここだ

黙っていたって伝わる

なんて訳ないんだからさ

正しいピックの握り方も

理屈もコードも何も知らず

鳴らしたあのサステインは

まだ続いてんだ

待ってんの黙ってんの

大人しく声を殺してんの

ねぇ待ってんの黙ってんの

何もせずただただ待ってんの

いや分かってんだ分かってんだ

終わりは刻刻迫ってんだ

じゃあどうすんだ分かってんだ

死ぬまでに間に合え

歌っていくんだ僕はここで

憂や後悔全部乗せて

思い描いたみたいに

カッコよくないけど

分かってどうか僕の事を

叫んでいるんだ僕はここだ

黙って泣いて誤魔化す

なんて真似もうしないさ

あの日捨てたメンソールの箱を

ゴミん中から見つけて出して

残った一本に火をつけて

今始めるんだ

Ignition

Opening my eyes at 3 P.M.

Both the time that I’ve wasted and my innocuous, safe current life–

I’m going to come to hate all of it, all of it

Smoking a cigarette, then chewing gum and spitting it out into the trash,

Knowing today will come to an end, I can’t muster any interest, and

wander uselessly until it’s suddenly time to say good night

The light of my iPhone shines in my face

Contrasting claims on how to earn clicks scroll down the screen

Ah, I’m really, really coming to hate it

“Even this ‘life’ is just a constant stalling for time

that ends in the blink of an eye”

I suddenly realized that

Please try to understand me

I’m shouting out that I’m here

I’m always just

staying silent, crying, or putting on a false face

Alongside this fire that ignited in my heart that day,

even amid the rain of ridicule and contempt,

the menthol cigarette I tossed aside

is still burning as well

Even the beer can I drank up

seems like it could become a replacement ashtray, at

least for now

And since it can have that kind of value,

then if I too, ruined as I am,

were to have a moment where I could sparkle…

Hey, dreams and youth are both such transient things,

and once you’ve left them behind, you’ll fall into a lukewarm daily life, but

the voice of the punk shouting out in my head

won’t ever stop no matter how many times I try to cut him out

Please laugh at me

Can you hear me? I’m right here

I can’t get anything across

by staying silent, so

without knowing the proper way to hold a pick

and without any logic or codes or anything at all,

the sustain that rang out from my guitar that day

is still vibrating

Are you waiting? Are you staying silent?

Are you quietly killing off your voice?

Hey, are you waiting? Are you staying silent?

Are you just simply waiting without doing a thing?

No, I get it, I get it,

the end is only pressing closer

So what should I do? I get it now

Please let me make it before I die

I’m singing out right here

I’ll put all of it, my anxiety and my regrets, into this voice,

though it isn’t as cool

as I imagined it’d be

Please try to understand me

I’m shouting out that I’m here

I’ll never again

stay silent, cry, or put on a false face

I’ll find the menthol box I tossed aside that day,

pull it out of the trash,

ignite the last cigarette left inside,

and get started right now
