Beneath pale moonlight
On a cold night, a tale in sepia tone was was written
About two children, anything but blameless victims
One dead among the living
Too young to be in prison
But ask around - my so-called “friends” won’t even know I’m missing
I lived a life not so appealing
I was counting holes in the prison ceiling
Had lost any faith that escape is an answer
No doubt breaking out of the hometown’s just a prison transfer
都会の夢物語に左右される愚かなガキ
唯一の共通点は監獄
If anyone should catch my eye then why the hell was it you, huh?
“So what are you in for?”
Cuz I wanna know... Then again, I don’t
Your answerless laugh in the darkness eliminates any reply out of my throat
But delivers a shiver of fear and then false hope
A mischievous smile from beyond that invites me to elope
Just like that, I surrender to being your scapegoat
Let’s say the plan don’t work out as designed, then
Our own death warrants to the devil are all but signed
The only thing that holds us together is confinement
You’ll be 1 step forward, and me 6 steps behind

Us runaways just want somewhere to go
脱獄は自由じゃないけど
You’re gonna
Continue running, and if they catch me
I know
There’s no way in hell you’re coming back for me
Pretending there’s an ending we’ll be side-by-side
When the sirens finally fade away
Then silence as the epilogue plays
You roaming aimlessly through some ghost town
And me chasing your shadow alone, ‘till the sun goes down


I know
It’s too early to say that “we made it out”
Surely you feel it too, this belated doubt?
I’m getting nervous as we stand on the edge
‘Till you explain again my purpose, that it’s “all in my head”
Those eyes don’t get side-tracked, “what comes after death” black
Discerning a window of chance, make a run for it
When I’m under this stress I’m a hundred percent just a set-back
But you’re not gonna let THAT get you sent back
“少しでも休めば捕まる”
Now or never; we stop, then we lose
In the dead of night, we can disappear
Wanted dead or alive, yet beside you there’s no fear, cuz you’re my dear
Escape when it’s late so they can’t hear
It’s already begun
Convince you to hold on to my hand as we run
This “love” is a real one
偽りじゃなくて Not a fake, not afraid, we’ve won
いつも勝手にやってる君の
気味わるい笑い
意味はない世界に反対
Stand against them
You and I
Even knowing it’s all a lie
Where you’re going, there’s already somebody
Waiting for you on the other side, isn’t there? Maybe I should care
That it isn’t fair
Still…
I swear I saw a light behind the thickening mist
However something’s got my stomach in sickening twist
We’ll chalk it up to bad directions or a turn that we missed
But I’m starting to think in this lockup, no real exit exists


Us runaways just want somewhere to go
脱獄は自由じゃないけど
You’re gonna
Continue running, and if they catch me
I know
There’s no way in hell you’re coming back for me
Pretending there’s an ending we’ll be side-by-side
When the sirens finally fade away
Then silence as the epilogue plays
You roaming aimlessly through some ghost town
And me chasing your shadow alone, ‘till the sun goes down
