ラプス - Kinokoteikoku translation in English

ラプス

吐いた息は白く
空に吸い込まれ消えてゆく

何度も青い帳が下りて

光るナイフを強く握れば
握るほどに赤い血は溢れるのに
なぜ疑うことだけ上手になるの
誰かを信じたい それだけなのに

欠けた月の下で
何もいらないと思った

どこかできみが泣いてる気がした

愛せないなら消してしまえと
強がってみたけど 眩しくて
この手のひらでぎゅっと握り潰して
しまう前にそっと逃がしてあげる

光るナイフを強く握れば
握るほどに赤い血は溢れるのに
なぜ疑うことだけ上手になるの
誰かを信じたい それだけなのに

それだけなのに

Lapse

My breath comes out white
And disappears into the sky

Time and time again, the blue curtain descends

If I grip the gleaming knife more tightly
The more tightly I grip it, the more blood spills over
Why have I become so adept at doubting?
I just want to believe someone

Beneath the crescent moon
I thought I needed nothing

Somewhere, I felt you crying

If I can't love you, I'll just make you disappear
I put on a brave face, but it's too blinding
I squeeze you tightly in my palm
And let you go gently before I crush you

If I grip the gleaming knife more tightly
The more tightly I grip it, the more blood spills over
Why have I become so adept at doubting?
I just want to believe someone

I just want to believe
