Nemuru Omoi

Twisted, tangled thoughts 
Coiling about forever, chains lifelessly rusted 
"Time heals all wounds" is a lie 
I remembered the way to lock in and seal emotion 

If it's a thought that doesn't reach, even if I embrace it, it will just be able to bewilder 
If it chills and dries, it will sink into the past 
If it's a memory that's been grieving, I shouldn't mind, even if I forget it 
Sleep, as if drowned, at the bottom of the deep ocean 

(My pain of that day has gone somewhere) 

The sweet wish, I hide and put to sleep 
Clad in stillness, I merely flow 

The thoughts I shut in 
Will someday be washed away by time. I'm losing sight of the hiding place 
The past I pursued is far off 
Locking even emotions, the me that lost myself 

Even if I embrace even the thoughts I want to stop, they'll spill over and fall 
Just an empty thirst will remain 
That the tears I shed were an irreplacable treasure, 
I noticed that because I lost them. What an irony 

(My smile from that day, as well, has gone somewhere) 

The shards of sweet thoughts, I take to my breast 
And simply gaze at the noisy town 

At least, if I open my window 
I should be able to see the shadow that can sleep 

If I wake, can I regain it? 

If I open 
the window 
I wonder if it will reach 
even here 
Light...
