Title: Ibara (Briars)
Words: Cocco
Music: Cocco

men
beat me senseless
women
shut me away
you
say you'll keep me safe
but still
I feel alone

I want things to stay like this
like this forever
when these wounds have healed
and even this rain
doesn't hurt at all
there'll be nothing

it's trouble
but still I can't throw it away
what a cruel world
the tears dripping red on my wrist
I'll never make it
to the dawn

I want to fall down
I don't need to fly
I'm sure I can run
this body
should be able to live
even barefoot

if I nod agreement,
will I be able to get out of here?v but
here I am,
(pricking myself) with the thorns of the briar

I want things to stay like this
like this forever
when these wounds are healed
and even this rain
doesn't hurt at all

I want to fall down
I don't need to fly
I'm sure I can run
this body
should be able to live
until the end
