ナミカレ (Even Tears Withered)

A life that's pitch black ahead
I don't even care anymore

How do you even find a dream?
Come on, tell me, I’ve been a good kid
I got perfect attendance, worked hard in clubs
My test scores weren’t that bad, I swear
But this blindfold is so tight, I can't take it off

Don’t look down on me with that reckless attitude
It really pisses me off
Chasing after dreams, it’s blinding
While I rot at the bottom of society
Time just slips by, vague and empty
Even my tears have dried up

Back in childhood, I had so many dreams
I wanted to be a pastry chef
Being an athlete didn’t sound too bad either
Remember the distant past
If I had to say, it was all just talk
No special effort put in
Because it’s a "dream," right?

I lived days without any real struggles
So I had no reason to doubt

How do you even talk about dreams?
Come on, tell me, I’ve been a good kid
Comparing myself to others is pointless
That underachiever is doing better than me
This blindfold is so tight, I can't take it off

Don’t look down on me with that earnest attitude
It really pisses me off
Your passionate words make me jealous
While I rot at the bottom of society
I might just jump in, feeling dazed
Even my tears have dried up

Back in childhood, I got so much praise
Everyone had high hopes for my future
Got lucky money and gifts
I wish it could last forever
But why does the number drop so obviously
And it’s just expected that it’s gone
It all feels like a dream

But I lived days without any real struggles
So I had no reason to doubt

A life that's pitch black ahead
I don't even care anymore

How do you even find a dream?
Come on, tell me! I’ve been a good kid
I grew up, became an adult, listened to what I was told
I wasn’t particularly good-looking
But I’ve lived a life that’s just okay

Don’t look down on me with that reckless attitude
It really pisses me off
Your happy voice is infuriating
While I rot at the bottom of society
Time just slips by, vague and empty
Even my tears have dried up
They’ve dried up.
