Lyrics & Music: RUKA

I felt it faintly
An uneasy omen I can't get rid of
With an ignorant attitude
So that I wasn't hurt
I laughed

I held my breath a bit longer
Without showing anyone my weakness
"My dreams won't last much longer"
Yeah
The die is cast

Even now I still love
The days smeared thick with lies
And the broken days that can't be saved
I feel like it can change someday
The too blue sky of someday
That I placed on my weak self

I kept turning my eyes away
Because the sun got too close
If you judge merits
Inevitably
You'll be burned

I knew that this kind of future
Wasn't so far off
I knew that, but
I can't destroy my ego so easily

Even now I still love
The days smeared thick with lies
And the broken days that can't be saved
I feel like it can change someday
The too blue sky of someday
That I placed on my weak self

In this tedious town dyed in vermilion
Like the cold wind striking my cheeks
I deny "now"
If we notice that we're bouncing from place to place
There's an everlasting darkness
Where even the shining stars can't be seen

Even now I still love
The days smeared thick with lies
And the broken days that can't be saved
I collapsed and shouted as if clinging to something
Grieving over my own "pity" as the wind and the sun

Laughed at me

VERMILION.
