1.A fading voice falls
2.Falls down—
3.So I let my heart sink with it
4.To the bottom of the rainy surface
5.The rain falling into the water is cold
6.Still cold
7.And with empty eyes
8.I looked down on this city9.
10.The sky looked like ash—
11.Muddied, cloudy, heavy
12.The road stretched far, far ahead
13.Hidden in the mist14.
15.The wandering people
16.Held no umbrellas17.
18.Unreachable voices echoed again and again
19.Until they withered away
20.The rainy sky rang out
21.And the sky, still full, was the color of tears
22.This growing pain—
23.I wonder when it’ll finally heal?24.
25.“Answer me.”26.
27.Dreams, tomorrow, the future—
28.If there’s no “me,” then there’s nothing to lose
29.But the number of “lies” kept growing
30.And so did the “wounds.”
31.“Damn it.”32.
33.These unchanging days
34.Are so loud!
35.So loud—
36.Wrap up all my whining in that sound of rain
37.The voice that won’t fade
38.Still echoes in my ears39.
40.“You’re weak.”41.
42.It’s easy for you to say
43.Without even seeing the scars
44.Don’t mock me!45.
46.The hatred, the pain, the tears, the screaming—
47.It’s all too much
48.“It hurts.”
49.I’m covered in wounds!
50.And yet, even so—
51.Just this noise
52.Just this pain—
53.I want it to remain54.
55.“–I wanted to disappear.”56.
57.My heart is falling apart
58.I wanted to be someone
59.Who could say, “You are you.”
60.The voice I want to scream—
61.Scream it!
62.I’ll ring out that sound of rain
63.In my clumsy way64.
65.“No matter what anyone says…”66.
67.Falling through this echoing daily life
68.Letting it fall—
69.Even if I come to hate everything
70.That’s my honest truth
71.You, falling down
72.Are smiling
73.Still cold
74.Still “you,”
75.Defying this city76.
77.If we can love
78.Even a world like this
79.Then acknowledge these breaking versions of us—
80.Amanezora (the cloudy sky after rain)
81.One day, surely
82.I’ll be able to fly like “you.”
83.Until then
84.I’ll walk this rainy path
85.Let this sound of rain echo through us as we fade away
