Kenshi Yonezu - Kubinashi Kankodori Lyrics (Romanized)
Kenshi Yonezu - 首なし閑古鳥 Lyrics (Romanized)

1.さあさあさあ　踊りましょうか
2.とり急いでは　脚が絡んだ
3.騒々しい音を晒して
4.赤い瑪瑙と積み木の家5.
6.欄干の傍に立つ虚
7.青い光が抜けていくようだ
8.誰だって心が重い
9.忘れられないことばかり10.
11.やい、やい、お前の頭はどこだい？
12.頭はどこだい？目玉とくちばしは？
13.やい、やい、お前の感情はどこだい
14.泣いて見せてみろ　笑ってみせてみろよ15.
16.愛されたいのは　悲しくなるから
17.見つめていたくはないけれど
18.あなたによく似た　言葉探しては
19.灯りを焚いて話がしたい20.
21.なんとも歪な　形で生まれて
22.成す術なんてなかったけど
23.あなたによく似た　心があるのさ
24.それさえ確かであればいい25.
26.曖昧な歌ばかり積んで
27.声が震えて仕方がないが
28.そんなのもうどうでもよくて
29.黒い涙で雨曝し30.
31.ああ　ああ　口を開けば灰になっちゃった
32.冷たい灰になっちゃった　言葉にならないな
33.ああ　ああ　いつか頭は呆けて落ちてった
34.小さいまんまで落ちてった　恥ずかしくなるような35.
36.愛されてるのは　確かでないから
37.形になって欲しいけれど
38.どうにもこうにも　あんまりな嘘だ
39.一つになんてなれないまま40.
41.きっとわかってる　汚れた酸素が
42.二つの間にあることを
43.どうにもこうにも　心があるのさ
44.優しい梅雨が降ればいい45.
46.愛されたいのは　悲しくなるから
47.見つめていたくはないけれど
48.あなたによく似た　言葉探しては
49.灯りを焚いて話がしたい50.
51.なんとも歪な　形で生まれて
52.成す術なんてなかったけど
53.あなたによく似た　心があるのさ
54.それさえ確かであればいい

1.Come, come, come, shall we dance?
2.Rushing ahead, my legs got tangled
3.Exposing the noisy sounds
4.A house of red agate and building blocks5.
6.A hollow figure stands by the railing
7.Blue light passes through
8.Everyone carries a heavy heart
9.Full of things they can’t forget10.
11.Hey, hey, where is your head?
12.Where is your head? Where are your eyes and beak?
13.Hey, hey, where are your emotions?
14.Show me your tears, show me your smile15.
16.Wanting to be loved only brings sadness
17.I don’t want to keep staring
18.But I search for words that resemble yours
19.Lighting a fire, longing to talk20.
21.Born into such a distorted shape
22.With no way to change a thing
23.But I have a heart that resembles yours
24.And if that alone is real, then that’s enough25.
26.Stacking up vague songs
27.My voice trembles uncontrollably
28.But none of that even matters anymore
29.Drenched in black tears and pouring rain30.
31.Ah, ah, when I opened my mouth, it turned to ash
32.Became cold, lifeless ash, words just won’t come
33.Ah, ah, one day my head grew dull and fell
34.Fell while still so small, so utterly shameful35.
36.Being loved isn’t certain, that’s why
37.I wish it would take shape
38.But no matter what, it’s just an awful lie
39.We can never truly become one40.
41.Surely, I understand—the tainted air
42.That lingers between us both
43.But no matter what, I know there’s a heart here
44.And I hope a gentle rainy season comes45.
46.Wanting to be loved only brings sadness
47.I don’t want to keep staring
48.But I search for words that resemble yours
49.Lighting a fire, longing to talk50.
51.Born into such a distorted shape
52.With no way to change a thing
53.But I have a heart that resembles yours
54.And if that alone is real, then that’s enough
