Hoshi wo mawase sekai no mannaka de
Kushami sureba dokoka no mori de chou ga ranbu
Kimi ga mamoru doa no kagi detarame
Hazukashii monogatari
Nameatte mo raion wa tsuyoi
Ikinokoritai
Ikinokoritai
Mada ikiteitaku naru
Seiza no michibiki de ima, mitsumeatta
Ikinokoritai
Tohou ni kurete
Kirari kareteyuku
Honki no karada misetsukeru made
Watashi nemuranai
Ikinokoritai
Mada ikitetai
Kimi wo aishiteru
Honki no kokoro misetsukeru made
Watashi nemuranai
星を廻せ 世界のまんなかで
くしゃみすればどこかの森で蝶が乱舞
君が守るドアのかぎ デタラメ
恥ずかしい物語
舐め合っても ライオンは強い
生き残りたい
生き残りたい
まだ生きていたくなる
星座の導きでいま、見つめ合った
生き残りたい
途方にくれて
キラリ枯れてゆく
本気の身体 見せつけるまで
私 眠らない
生き残りたい
まだ生きてたい
君を愛してる
本気のココロ見せつけるまで
私 眠らない
Turn the stars at the centre of the world
If you sneeze, a butterfly in a forest somewhere will dance
The door you guard has a useless key
It's an embarrassing story
Though they often lick one another, lions are strong
I want to survive
I want to survive
I still can't stop wanting to live
Guided by the constellations, our eyes met
I want to survive
I am at a loss
Gently withering away
But until I show you my true self,
I will not sleep
I want to survive
I still want to live
I'm in love with you!
Until I show off my serious heart,
I will not sleep

さそい水を飲んだ胸がつらい
遠まきな物語
かじり合う 骨の奥まで
生き残りたい

何しに生まれたの?
何しにここにいる?
生き残りたい
埋まらない傷
光 恐れてた
許されたい生命がいま、引かれ合った
さまよい果てて
君のとなりで ほてり鎮めたい
本気の身体 見せつけるまで
私 眠らない
生き残りたい
がけっぷちでいい
君を愛してる
目覚めたい生命がいま、惹かれ合った
狂気に代えて
祈り捧ぐよ
君を愛してる
星座の導きで…
生き残りたい
まだ生きてたい
君を愛してる

Turn the stars at the center of the world
If you sneeze, a butterfly in a forest somewhere will dance
The door you guard has a useless key
It's an embarrassing story
Though they often lick one another, lions are strong
I want to survive
I want to survive
I still can't stop wanting to live
Guided by the constellations, our eyes met
I want to survive
I am at a loss
Gently withering away
But until I show you my true self,
I will not sleep
Will the winds blow east one day?
High atmospheric pressure attacks this planet's frozen rivers
My chest hurts from the sip of alluring water I took
It's a story seen from a distance
Gnaw at each other till the bones
I want to survive
I want to survive
I still can't stop wanting to live
Guided by the constellations, our eyes met
I want to survive
I am at a loss
Gently withering away
But until I show you my true self
I will not sleep
What were we born to do?
What are we here to do?
I want to survive
This permanent scar
I used to fear the light
The lives seeking redemption were drawn to one another
I want to stop prowling
And settle down next to you bashfully
Until I show you my true self
I will not sleep
I want to survive
Even as a nobody
I love you
The lives waiting for awakening were drawn to one another
In place of my wildness,
I shall offer a prayer.
I love you.
Constellations, please guide me...
I want to survive
I still want to live
I'm in love with you!
Until I show off my serious heart,
I will not sleep
