Scuffed Up Age

[Verse 1]
Lost in thoughts of frosted frame of mind
Honest to god, it's just not our time
Promises flawed by cosmic design
これくらいどうってことない
でも涙の跡は消せない
Coming of age, the stage doesn't light up
Just right away, they told us it might've
夢はもう諦めます

[Pre-Chorus]
This cynical mind says "Why'd you try?"
Why not give up and play the bad guy?
分かってるさ
運命が波立てながら 貴方 呑もうとするのなら
崩れ落ちそうな身体 抱きしめるから

[Chorus]
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're living in
腐ったクズの日々だけど
この夜明け Could seem a lot like "Not your day"
それでも貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Can't find a reason to stay
Some busted world led astray
Once trusted, left to decay
We choose to go on anyway

[Verse 2]
Lost in thoughts of always changing pace
Allies and friends hiding more than one face
Not really surprising
Why are you compromising?
Thе sun is rising, a new horizon
With friendships lacking lies and
Thе knives in your back, so what are you prioritizing?
You aren't sick of crying?
See, I don't buy it
But here we are, hanging on, fighting strong despite it
"儚い" じゃ 表しきれない
もう目を閉じてしまいたいくらいの世界

[Pre-Chorus]
This cynical mind says "Why'd you try?"
"Why not give up and play the bad guy?"
分からないんだ
埃塗れの街で 貴方のため息の影
私の微かな火で 照らしたいだけ

[Chorus]
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we're giving in
土砂に汚れて Be real, it hurts to grow
Believing in a world of hate is overrated
まあ でも 貴方は美しいのだから
Must be something surreal
An endless dream we can't heal
This rusted world wound up real
Still wanna love the way it feels

[Bridge]
Late nights, the city feels dead, sure, but like
The lights and sights and sounds are treasures
こんな世界に抗って歩く力なんて
私にはないけど

[Chorus]
Face up, this world can't kill that inner spark
Why don't we turn this scuffed up page we're writing in
こんな世界じゃ Be real, I think we know
この夜明け is rarely fair, decide your fate
It's your life 貴方を捨ててしまわないで
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Like all those optimists say
But the truth is rather ruthless, it might be rain
The question is, will you bear that pain?
What's your reason to stay?
This shining world led astray
Won't leave it all to decay
I choose to love it anyway, oh

[Outro]
We choose to know
The struggles of this scuffed up age we live in
So, don't give in
