バケモノ
彼は化け物 嘘を食らう獣
月曜の朝に捨て犬のように公園で出会う
濡れたアサガオ 真夏の太陽の 真下で倒れ
息も絶え絶え 怯えた目玉で
しなびた体毛を撫ぜれば
ひきつる口元 痩せこけた体躯
それは憐みだったか、情けなのかどうか
僕の嘘を一つあげようか
例えば僕は今消えたいのに
嘘をついてる 嘘をついてる
家族の手前、学校には時間通り出掛けるんだよ
そして今日も楽しかったんだと
嘘をついてる 嘘をついてる
こいつを食らえ なあ化け物、
ずいぶんうまそうに食うもんだな
彼は化け物 嘘を食らう獣
腹を満たして僕に懐いて 見る間に育って
僕は除け者 飛び降た歩道橋
病院の窓 すすり泣く母 木立ちに夕焼け
もの欲しそうな表情浮かべ 次第に肥大するその体躯
次の嘘をもっともっととせがむもんだから そうか
僕の嘘を一つあげようか
ほんとは僕、死に損なったのに
嘘をついてる 嘘をついてる
家族の手前 「運が良かったんだ」と
悪びれて笑ったよ
そして今日も息をするみたいに
嘘をついてる 嘘をついてる
こいつを食らえ なあ化け物、
ずいぶんでかく育ったもんだな
僕の背丈を超えた化け物
嘘の塊みたいな僕を
綺麗さっぱり食べてくれないか
「生きるのが辛かった
苦しくてしょうがなかった
だけど辛いと思われるのが
一番辛いことだから」
ようやく本音叫んだら
化け物は見る間に萎んだ
でもね僕はまだ嘘を隠してる
自分さえ騙す僕の嘘を
ほんとは笑って生きたいくせに
嘘をついてる 嘘をついてる
理想、現実 そのずれを
埋めるための仮初の夢想なら
弱い僕らに嘘は必然か
今日も誰もが 嘘をついてる
そいつを食らえ なあ僕らは、
表裏一体の実像と影
彼は化け物 嘘を食らう獣 一人に一人
誰も彼もが背後に匿う
その隠し事 蓋をしてる腫物
君の背後にそびえ立つ影 ずいぶん巨大だな
Monster
He's a monster, a beast that devours lies
I ran into him at a park on a Monday morning; he seemed like a stray dog
He lay collapsed over wet morning glories, right under the midsummer sun
Gasping, a frightened look on his eyes
When I stroked his shriveled fur
His lips twitched as I felt how skinny he was
Whether it was out of pity or because he looked so miserable
I asked, "Should I give you one of my lies?"
For example, even though I want to disappear this instant
I lie about it, it's all a lie
I tell my parents, "I left for school right on time!"
"And as always, I had fun today too!"
I lie about it, it's all a lie
Eat these lies up! Hey, monster
You seem to be enjoying yourself, aren't you?
He's a monster, a beast that devours lies
I took a liking to him as his belly filled up; he got bigger right before my eyes
Me, the outcast, and the overpass I jumped off of
A hospital window, my sobbing mother, and the evening glow through the trees outside
Giving me a hungry look, his body gradually getting bigger
He begged more and more for the next lie, so I said, "Is that so?"
"Should I give you one more of my lies?"
The truth is, even though I failed to kill myself
I lie about it, it's all a lie
I told my parents, "I sure got lucky"
With a timid smile on my face!
And so today too, as easily as I breathe
I'll lie about it, it's all a lie
Eat these lies up! Hey, monster
You've gotten awfully big, haven't you?
He's a monster that has grown to be taller than me
Since I'm basically a bundle of lies
Won't he devour me too, once and for all?
"Life's been rough"
"I've been suffering, and there was nothing I could do about it"
"But having others think that I'm miserable"
"Would be the most miserable thing of all!"
When I finally yelled out my true feelings
The monster shriveled up right before my eyes
"But hey, I'm still hiding some lies"
"Lies that I even used to deceive myself!"
The truth is, even though I want to smile and live on
I lie about it, it's all a lie
The difference between ideals and reality
If this is a temporary dream meant to bridge the gap between them
Then, for us weaklings, are lies really necessary?
Today again, everyone is lying
Eat their lies up! Hey, we...
We're two sides of the same coin: reality and its shadow
He's a monster, a beast that devours lies; one by one
Each of us shelters their own monster behind their backs
A tumor we try to cover up in secrecy
That shadow behind you, towering over; it's getting awfully big, isn't it?
