Like the lapping of the waves, it creeps up on me,
The melancholy welcomes me home as it envelops me whole
In the gloomy, chilled depths of an empty can,
The raindrops ripple plink-plunk in the water's surface
Submerged in the sorrow

I think I was just dreaming a long-past dream,
Even though it didn't suit me at all
Ah, that beautiful promise is getting drenched

Even if I were to realize I messed up,
There's no going back now, so
I just collapse to the ground
Why was it that I thought
I could possibly fly?
For all the times I was happy,
I begin to learn
That it means the sorrow just grows deeper
Full of misfortune, misunderstanding,
I see; all of it was just mere illusion

Sheltering deep within my heart,
I won't show myself;
I won't wish for anything at all;
That's what I told myself

I wonder, do the fish in the all the tanks
Dream of swimming together?
But the glass keeping us separated wasn't a cage at all,
It was just protecting the wounded me all this time

We were never supposed to meet,
From the start, you and me,
And yet, still
Why, oh, why, did I have to
Cross the boundary line there, aah
With the suddenly blooming brilliance,
The borders begin to vaguely
Blur together
I can't see it, can't touch it
Ah, I see... It was all just a dream I saw

Without knowing at all
The bubbles that rose to the surface
Disappear without a sound
For just a fraction of a second,
They trembled in the light,
As if to rub out even that memory

Soon enough, I'll be fulfilled to my very lungs,
In the center of an empty can,
I'm looking at a tiny sky
