Torikago

Through the classroom window, I absentmindedly ask the sky
What am I living for? I don't know

The ideal me I drew in the margins of my textbook
Isn't just obedient to the adults
I have a freedom like a flying bird

Even though you showed me dreams, not giving me the power to make them come true
Just makes it harder
With the length of the skirt decided
I can't even do what I want, where am I?

I'm taught only things I don't want to know
Before I knew it, I had even lost my own words

Even though I straighten my back at the start chime
My feelings are already starting to break
I want to escape from the birdcage called normalcy

I hate living with eyes that look dead
But I don't even have the courage to fly away alone

Not even able to choose the color of my hair
I can't even do what I want, where am I?

A voice inside my heart says I'm here

The top button of my blouse is fastened
I feel suffocated and let out a sigh
The sky is beautiful but out of reach for me
I want to shed it and fly, someone listen

Even though you showed me dreams, not giving me the power to make them come true
Just makes it harder
With the length of the skirt decided
I can't even do what I want, where am I?

A voice inside my heart says I'm here

The sky is beautiful but
