Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Syncopated guitar]
[Cute Higher Register]
[Chords: C - G - Am - F]
[Verse 1]
No matter what I do, it's no good
Nothing navigates right
Swayed by the subway, I sigh.
As I grow, the grief in my heart gathers,
It's too heavy.
I just want to float freely.
[Chords: F - G - Em - Am]
[Pre-chorus]
Torrential tears aren't tokens of timidity,
They're proof that I'm persistently pushing.
Even if it's uncool—
Even if it's miserable, I want to live
"Even though I'm exerting effort."
[Chords :C - G - Am - F]
[Chorus]
Heartless harpoons like harsh knives
Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures.
Living with lingering lacerations.
In an empty expanse,
Hugging my hopeless knees alone—
I cried out loud in lament.
Becoming an adult without genuine glee,
Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary.
I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently,
Someday I'll be rewarded, right?
[Break]
[Chords: C - G - Am - F]
[Verse 2]
I can't continue consistently
"Anyway, someone like me..."
My heart almost hollered many times.
"I don't want to lose to anyone"
Stretching myself strenuously,
Pretending not to perceive the words behind.
[Chords: F - G - Em - Am]
[Pre-chorus]
Torrential tears aren't tokens of timidity,
They're proof that I'm persistently pushing.
Even if it's uncool—
Even if it's miserable, I want to live
"Even though I'm exerting effort."
[Chords: C - G - Am - F]
[Chorus]
Heartless harpoons like harsh knives
Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures.
Living with lingering lacerations.
In an empty expanse,
Hugging my hopeless knees alone—
I cried out loud in lament.
Becoming an adult without genuine glee,
Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary.
I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently,
Someday I'll be rewarded, right?
[Chords: Am - G - F - G]
[Verse 3]
I can't continue consistently
"Anyway, someone like me..."
My heart almost hollered many times
"I don't want to lose to anyone"
Stretching myself strenuously,
Pretending not to perceive the words behind.
[Build]
[Bridge]
Even if I want to end it,
The words someone said stick with me
"Even someone like me"
I want to try my best!
[Chords: C - G - Am - F]
[Chorus]
Heartless harpoons like harsh knives
Pierce me, leaving permanent punctures,
Living with lingering lacerations.
In an empty expanse,
Hugging my hopeless knees alone—
I cried out loud in lament.
Becoming an adult without genuine glee,
Forcing myself to feign fortitude, but still solitary.
I want to laugh from the lowest depths of my heart, living diligently,
Someday I'll be rewarded, right?
[End]
