Mask ~ Aqua Timez

Where can I find a heart that doesn't have a single wound?
I was asked by the wind as it blew past my neck.
I don't have a good answer to this question.
People, with just one life, are trying their best to thrive.

After we were slightly buffeted by the overly green spring,
together we pushed through summer's radiance.
On the path you have chosen, I hope positivity would spread
so that we could light each other's way again someday.

"I want you to live without any dark cloud, so don't hate this temporary rain."
"I want you to live without having to lie; loneliness is nothing to fret about."

Your body exists for the purpose of carrying the love concealed within,
forever, and ever, from the day you were born.
You, I, he, and everyone else, are all wandering without being able to say anything.
We only hope that one day, eventually, our words would reach their destination.

Unable to fit ourselves into society, we are left powerless.
From a base named loneliness, we see off one season after another.
The wish to perish slowly in the counter-current's embrace
will only settle in the thoughts we each cling to.

We want to escape somewhere else other than our current location.
We want to become someone else other than our current self.
For the time being we have put on a smiling mask.
Just what do people truly desire?

Lying sprawled on the grass, after I have wept a little,
I peeked from a donut's hole, saw a beautifully cerulean sky, and cried to my heart's content.

I don't need a time machine. I only need to treasure my present time.
But, but, unable to let go of my regrets,
I became alone while trying to find someone else, became pieces while trying to become whole.
Yes, that's right,
I hope I can make it in time within my lifetime.

Even if there are no pretty names for the thoughts you gave me,
those thoughts will still dance nimbly in the sky of memories.

"I want you to live without any dark cloud, so don't hate this temporary rain."
"I want you to live without having to lie; loneliness is nothing to fret about."

You found and embraced the loneliness within me when I had lost my way,
and told me that it would be fine for me to cry now.
I trained myself to hold in my tears no matter how sad I might feel.
But for all this time, I have always wanted to cry.

I have always wanted to smile freely, without having to put a mask over my heart.
