TV Version
Kanji= 朱らむ空が 今日はこんなに怖い 知らなければ　幸せでいられた 温かい灯火一つまた落ちる

こうやって知らぬ間に失っていた あの優しい声 信じてしまったの 僕にはそれだけだった

ほとばしる汗と燃える心で 確かに僕らは意志を持って生きてる 「愛してくれ」なんてね、今更 動けもつれる足

この檻を抜けろ　明日を掴む為に 絶望を駆け抜けろ Akaramu sora ga kyou wa konna ni kowai Shiranakereba shiawase de irareta Atatakai Tomoshibi hitotsu mata ochiru
 * -|Rōmaji=

Kou yatte shiranu ma ni Ushinatteita ano yasashii koe Shinjite shimatta no boku ni wa Dore dake datta

Hotobashiru ase to moeru Kokoro de Tashika ni bokura wa Ishi wo motte ikiteru

"aishite Kure" nante ne, ima sara Ugoke, motsureru ashi

Kono ori wo nukero ashita wo tsukamu tame ni Zetsubou wo kakenukero The sky became red, today is so frightening Would I have been happy without knowing Another warm light falls
 * -|English=

Like this, I lost it without knowing That gentle voice I believed it That was all it was for me

With gushing sweat and a burning heart We really are living with a will of our own It's too late for 'love me' Move, my tangled legs

Get out of this cage, in order to grasp tomorrow Run through the despair

Kanji= 朱らむ空が　今日はこんなにこわい 知らなければ幸せでいられた？

暖かい灯火　ひとつまた落ちる

こうやって知らぬ間に失ってた あの優しい声　信じてしまったの 僕にはそれだけだった

心なくせば　楽になれるなんて そんなの嘘　そのまま　壊れちゃう

甘い闇　嘆いても　助けは来ない

愛してくれなんてね　今更 動け　もつれる足 この檻を抜けろ 明日を掴むために 絶望を駆け抜けろ

ほとばしる汗と　燃える心で 確かに僕らは意志を持って生きてる

こうやって狙ってる 諦めはしない 感度を高めて じっくりやればいい 切り開け　着実に 時間が証明するだろう akaramu sora ga kyou wa konna ni kowai shiranakereba shiawase de irareta?
