Kanji (Full Version)
あの水平線が遠ざかっていく 青すぎた空には明日すら描けなくて 息もできないくらい澱んだ人の群れ 僕はいつからここに潜り込んだんだ?

悲しみなんて吐きだして 前だけ見てればいいんだっけ それじゃとてもまともでいられない すべてを僕が敵にまわしても 光をかすかに感じてるんだ そこまで行けそうなら…

息をしたくて　ここは苦しくて 闇を見上げるだけの夜は 浮かぶ減圧症のダイバー 生きているんだって　確かめたくて 深い海底を目指して もう一度呼吸をしよう

頭の中の地図をひっくり返したら 足りないものだらけで一人怯えたゆうべ 僕は強いんだってずっと思っていた 誰よりも強いってずっと思っていた

迷子になった白鳥が 星の夜空に浮かんでいた 慰めのように振りだした雨 だけどどうやら僕らはなれそうもない 星が星なら僕は僕さ そこまで行けそうかな

重たい碇を背負い込んで ほんの少し祈りを描き足して まるで合図のように振りだした雨

息をしたくて　ここは苦しくて 闇を見上げるだけの僕じゃ 浮かぶ方法もないダイバー 生きているんだって　確かめたいならそう 深い海底を目指して　もう一度

息をしてみて ただの幸せに気づいたら もう二度と溺れないよ

English (Full Version)
The horizon is drifting away The sky is too blue to depict tomorrow on A group of stagnated people struggling to breathe Since when did I crawl under here?

I’ll spill out my sadness Wouldn’t I be better off only looking forward? Well then I guess I can’t take the lead Even if I turn everything around to be my enemy, I will still feel a dim light If I’m going to go that far, then…

I want to breathe, it’s painful here The night you look up at darkness A floating diver with decompression sickness Wanting to confirm that I'm alive Let’s take one more breath, heading down to the bottom of the ocean

I turn the map over in my head, The night when I was all alone and frightened by the things I lack I always thought I was strong, Always thought I was stronger than anyone else

A lost swan was floating in the starry night sky It started to rain lullingly But it seems we can't become so Just as stars are stars, I’m just me Can I go that far…

With a heavy anchor on my back And a picture of prayers as a little extra It started to rain as if giving me a cue

I want to breathe, it’s painful here Me, looking up into the darkness, a diver without a way to float If you want proof that you’re alive Let’s head down to the bottom of the ocean one more time

I want to try to breathe If I could just sense a bit of happiness, I would never drown again
