Ame to Uso (Rain and Lies)

The rain that begins to fall supports me; it’s like everyone is crying

It’s as if even a small wind could erase my body
Where should I head? What’s the significance of my birth?

Small birds are murmuring in the sky
while I just vomit out nonexistent spit

The rain that begins to fall supports me; it’s like everyone is crying
If I’m alive for the sake of someone, there’s no mistake that it’s for you

If there is a God, please give me the strength to forgive everything
If I become unclean, I want you to abandon me without hesitation

In this town within which contradictions swirl about
there is no umbrella for this wet body of mine

I’ve always known when this rain starting to fall will end so
I want to try to believe longer, little by little; the continuation of my dream is after this
