At first we’re never willing,
To give up hope,
But eventually, we learn to let go.

I took the shield protecting this moment and packed it into a cartridge,
Firing it to bust down this wall.
But when I peered through, the end of it all was staring back at me.

As you jump into the hail of bullets and smoke,
Your love is covered by an expressionless mask,
But if you’re really only doing this for the reward,
Why on earth am I here?

In the end,
It’s taken away in an instant,
Never to come back, no matter who you blame.

Far from ending, the chain reaction just grows stronger,
As you fail to notice your armor is really keeping you trapped,
Just like a clown.

You’ve donned a broken heart,
But I want to pull out the faint voice within your feelings;
If you were to tell me you really just want to cry,
I’d take you in my arms without saying a word.

Do you know what the most beautiful thing in the world is?
I hear it’s a flower that not even mud can stain,
But why am I here in this place,
Bearing that same name?

You’re bound by such terrible suffering,
But I’ll accept all of your love and fantasies.
I’ll show you that I can survive on nothing else,
Like a lotus.
So stay by my side forever more.

I’ll accept your everything,
Enveloping you like a pure, white flower;
Like a lotus.
So keep smiling forever more.

初めはいつだって
期待を止められない
けれどやがて諦めを覚える

今を守る盾を薬莢に詰め込んで
円く壁を切り取った
のぞけば 終わりが見返してた

硝煙弾雨に飛び込む君の
愛情には 表情のない仮面が貼りつく
報いることだけが君を動かすのなら
僕はどうしてここにいる

最後は唐突に
一瞬で奪われる
誰を責めても戻りはしないのに

連鎖は終わらずに それどころか増してく
自分自身を追い込む武装に気づかない
ピエロの様だ

砕けた心を纏った君の
感情から微かな声 引き摺り出したい
本当は泣きたくて堪らないって言うなら
ただ黙って抱きしめる

この世で最高に綺麗なものはなんだか知ってる?
泥の中にいても決して汚れない花だって
なぜだか僕は同じ名前背負って生まれて
ここに居るんだ

激しい黒に包まれた君の哀情でも心傷でも
全部とりこんで
それすら僕の糧にしてみせるさ
like a lotus
だからずっとそばにいて

全部とりこんで
淀みない白の花で包みこむよ
like a lotus
だからずっと笑ってて
