Birdcage -in This Cage-

Written by Amano Tsuki
Arrangement: Hirotomo Tokura
Strings Arrangement: Hiroko Kajitani

A single bird waits for you far in the distance
Folding its wings, it stands still, flying nowhere

In its rusted cage, the days have become vague
and give off colors so beautiful they fade away

Please, someone send out my voice
to that sky, to the rift in the clouds
to the base of the mountain where you sleep

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
As if raising a cry
the quietly shut sky is opening its mouth
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
A gentle rain falls
to rinse off these faint and impure wishes of mine

How long has time concealed me?
I'm remembering pain and even the faint light

Someone please tear up my feathers
I'd rather go without having
a freedom I can't choose

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
Your looks engraved into my eyelids
melt into the jet black darkness
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
A cold rain falls
To wipe out the warmth in the palm I grasp

A shut up birdcage, both legs shut up
A black swan spins the future and falls
A shut up birdcage, both legs shut up
Thinking of you, the black swan falls
A shut up birdcage, both legs shut up
A black swan spins the future and falls

Why am I standing here alone?
Feelings violated by water pressure
Where am I standing right now?
Commotion disappearing into the water
Why am I standing here alone?
As I sink, I think about
that sky, the rift between clouds
and your smiles

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
As if raising a cry
the quietly shut sky is opening its mouth
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
A gentle rain falls
to rinse off these faint and impure wishes of mine

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart

The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky

THE DISTANCE TO THE HEAVEN

Haruka tooku de anata wo matsu ichiwa no tori
Tsubasa wo oritatami doko nimo tobazu tatazumu

Sabita kago no naka oboroge ni natta hibi wa
Usurete iku hodo ni utsukushii iro wo hanatsu

Dareka WATASHI NO koe WO DOUKA TODOKETE KUDASAI
Ano sora e ano kumoma e
Anata no nemuru fumoto e

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
Nakigoe wo ageru you ni
Shizuka ni tozasareta sora ga kuchi wo hirakete iku
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
Yasashii ame ga ochiru
Nigotta watashi no awai negai nado arainagasu you ni

Toki wa dorekurai watashi wo kakushita no darou
Kasuka na hikari sae itami wo oboete yuku

Dareka WATASHI NO hane WO DOUKA chigitte KUDASAI
Erabenai jiyuu naraba
Isso motazu ni ikitai

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
Mabuta ni kizamitsuketa anata no omokage ga
Shikkoku no yami ni tokeru
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
Tsumetai ame wa ochiru
Nigirishimeta tenohira no netsu wo ubai nuguu you ni

TOZASHITA torikago TOZASHITA ryouashi
Mirai WO TSUMUIDE OCHITEKU kokuchou
TOZASHITA torikago TOZASHITA ryouashi
ANATA WO OMOTTE OCHITEKU kokuchou
TOZASHITA torikago TOZASHITA ryouashi
Mirai WO TSUMUIDE OCHITEKU kokuchou

Why am I standing here alone?
Suiatsu ni okasareru kanjou
Where am I standing right now?
Mizu no naka ni kieteku zawameki
Why am I standing here alone?
Shizumi nagara watashi wa omotta
Ano sora wo ano kumoma wo
Anata no egao wo

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart
Nakigoe wo ageru you ni
Shizuka ni tozasareta sora ga kuchi wo hirakete iku
The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky
Yasashii ame ga ochiru
Nigotta watashi no awai negai nado arainagasu you ni

The distance to the heaven
The distance from my heart

The distance to the heaven
The distance to the sky

THE DISTANCE TO THE HEAVEN
