Sleeper

Lyrics & Music: RUKA

What if the daybreak we saw when we were young
Was just an illusion of a far off summer
Time flows and even if I bathe in the same sunlight now
My heart is asleep

Eventually I locked up the dazzling days
And even important words
At the bottom of time
So that I couldn't recall them

Like a fairyland
Carrying away separations and lies
I'll engrave in me over and over
All the important memories
So that they don't get washed away
In the flowing days
So that I'll never forget them
I'll lock them away with a firm key

Just once I tried to put out this flame
When I think of it now, it's a trivial thing
Time flows and the fragments of my small, forgotten love
Are a reflection of sleepless nights

Since when did the love song
I used to hum fade away?
Even my favorite melody
And I can't recall when I forgot it

Like a fairyland
Carrying away separations and lies
I'll engrave in me over and over
All the important memories
So that they don't get washed away
In the flowing days
So that I'll never forget them
I'll lock them away with a firm key

At the endlessly dark bottom
Of the endlessly deep sea
I saw the worst possible end
And it wasn't even in a movie that I saw once
Much less a dream
And before long the deja vu projecting this time and this day will come

The world that continues dying
Is carried away with separations and lies
I'll engrave in me over and over
This meaning that's disappeared
And the proof of this life
So that I'll never forget
All the important memories
I'll lock them away with a firm key

Please forget me.

Farewell
Thank you
To all the dark, empty nights

Farewell
Thank you
Oh, terrible but beloved days

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: RUKA

Tatoeba sore wa tooi natsu no maboroshi
Osanai bokura ga mita yoake yo
Toki wa nagare ima, onaji hi no hikari abitemo
Kokoro wa nemutteru

Mekurumeku hibi wa yagate
Taisetsu na kotoba sae
Omoidasenai you ni
Toki no soko ni tojikometa

Otogi no kuni no you ni
Wakare mo, uso mo saratte
Nagareru hibi no naka
Nagasarenai you ni
Nandomo kizamikomu
Taisetsu na omoi wo subete
Eien wasurenai you ni
Katai kagi wo kakete

Tatta ichido dake kono hi wo kesou toshita
Ima omoidaseba sasai na koto
Toki wa nagare wasure yuku chiisa na koi no kakera
Nemurenai yoru no kaisou

Kuchizusamu ai no uta wa
Itsu no ma ni iroaseta?
Daisuki na MERODII mo
Wasurete omoidasenai

Otogi no kuni no you ni
Wakare mo, uso mo saratte
Nagareru hibi no naka
Nagasarenai you ni
Nandomo kizamikomu
Taisetsu na omoi wo subete
Eien wasurenai you ni
Katai kagi wo kakete

Kagirinaku fukai umi no
Kagirinaku kurai soko de
Boku ga mita saitei na owari wa
Itsuka mita eiga demo naku
Mashite yume demo nai
Yagate kuru kono toki wo, kono hi wo utsushita DEJABU

Nakushi tsudzukeru sekai wo
Wakare mo, uso mo saratte
Kie yuku kono imi wo
Kono sei no akashi wo
Nandomo kizamikomu
Taisetsu na omoi wo subete
Eien wasurenai you ni
Katai kagi wo kakete

please forget me.

Sayounara
Arigatou
Nanimonai kurai yoru ni

Sayounara
Arigatou
Saitei na itoshiki hibi yo
