Words: Fujiwara Motoh
Music: Fujiwara Motoh

I'll never see the morning again
an animal in a windowless room
the doorknob is falling apart
if I touched it, it might just come off.

I prefer it be this cold,
so I need never realize why I really shiver.
it's not uncomfortable nor am I wanting of anything
but nor have I ever felt the opposite.

if you tell me to laugh, I can laugh openly
the light of the sky shined on me,
it was a little too bright for me
and everyone said the same thing,
"I can see nothing but shadows"

I'll never see the morning again
one heart in a windowless room
whether I close my eyes, or open them
the world spreading out around me is pitch black.

if you tell me to cry, I can laugh at that.
your light shined on me, it was warm but gave me a chill
I found out I couldn't see you through the light

we played hide n' seek
the sun set
without ever finding you
it got dark out
everyone went home, loo la la loo la la
we played hide n' seek
I kept waiting.

if you say 'believe me', it makes me doubt all the more
don't tell me things, touch me,
I'm not a shadow
in this world where even shadows melt away.

I broke your light.
I wanted you to come to the windowless room
I soon realized my error
I've forever lost the sight of you through the light
when you came searching for me
and I realized, I wanted to see that.

we played hide n' seek
the sun set
no one found me and I kept waiting
everyone went home, loo la la loo la la
we played hide n' seek
I waited for you.

if only I could see the morning once more,
a human in a windowless room
the door knob is falling apart
if it comes off, I'll never be able to leave
if I leave, I'll never be able to go back.
