「Unfinished Business」 01.Two In One Alone 二重人格について。自分自身のこと。結局他人には分かってもらえないだろうっていうあきらめ。 02.Just a Little... 後悔することはネガティブなことではない。がむしゃらに前だけ見ていてもうまくいかない。忘れてしまいたい過去もあるけど、そんな過去があるから未来はもっと良くしたい。少し立ち止まってみることも、次の力強い一歩になる。 03.Unfinished Melodies Of Memory 未完成。 04.Selfishness いつになったらこの世から戦争がなくなるのだろう？そこでは、正常な奴なんていない。すべてが狂っているんだ。 05.Unfinished In a Box 未完成。 06.Falling Apple 人と同じことしかできない。人と違うことをして笑われるのが恐いんだ。でも、ささいなことがきっかけで、本当の自分を見つけていく。 07.Unfinished Turning Into Ashes 未完成。 08.Unfinished Mr. Genius 未完成。 09.All I Can Do キリスト教の思想からの影響。いつもそばで見守っていて正しい方向へ導いてくれる。自分一人でやっていることなんてないんだ。だから僕は、祈ることで感謝する。他にできることなんて何もない。 10.The Only Thing I Believe 周りのものがすべて敵だと思ってしまう時がある。自分しか信じられなくなって。でも一人じゃ何もできないんだ。

完璧を求めてる
それが僕には窮屈なのに

だまっているとすぐに
心を読んで超能力者のように

えらそうにいつも正しい顔をする
僕は苦笑いを浮かべ席を立つ

言えない言葉が
ふたりを隔てる
本当の僕を見せることが苦手で

ひとつだけ消すことが
できるとすれば誤解を消して

かなわないならまるで
ベルトを忘れ出かけたあの日のように

居心地が悪くて逃げ出したいんだ
君の望むようになれなくてごめん

明日のことなど
かすんで見えないけど
本当は僕もここが好きだから

言えない言葉が
ふたりを隔てる
本当の僕でいつもいたい

増えすぎた昨日に
明日がつぶされないように

夕焼けに、背を向けて走る
行き先を、決めてたはずなのに
また同じ、道に戻ってる
こんな地図、役に立たないから

とりあえずまっすぐ
行ってみようと思う

流れゆく景色と一緒に
憂鬱も置き去りにしよう

気にしない、予定が狂っても
状況は、変わってしまうから
だけどまた、振り向いてしまう
昨日とは、別れたはずなのに

とりあえずまっすぐ
行ってみようと思う

どんな風に思われていたって
きみはきみ変わらないから

流れゆく景色と一緒に
憂鬱も置き去りにしよう
どんな風に思われていたって
きみはきみ変わらないから

僕が行けば、誰か来る
誰か行けば、僕が来る
そうして世界は回ってる

僕がここにいる意味探しているけど
本当に必要なことだろうか

誰のようにもなりたくなかった
今は誰かの代わりになりたい
空と海が助け合うように

僕はもちろん君じゃない
でも僕は君を否定しない
僕にしかできないことはない

誰にもできないことすることより
何事も嫌がらずできたら

誰のようにもなりたくなかった
今は誰かの代わりになりたい
空と海が助け合うように

太い鎖が背中にはえて、どうもがいても自由になれず
人生なんて生まれた時に大半はもう決まっている

言ってたね、覚えてるよ
好きなことは仕事にするなと

太陽を見つめ続けるヒマワリ、早起きな朝顔も
みんな自分を責めるばかりじゃ、もう枯れるだけ

愛だけじゃもうつなげないほど何かを強く欲しがっている
すべてを断ち切り自由になりたい、ひとりの夜に時々思う

分かったよ、今なら
稼ぐことはつまらないよね

どうして分かってくれないんだろう、多くは望んでないのに
土と水だけより夢があればもう後悔しない

もう子供ではないんだからね、干渉しないでくれないかな
世間体だけ見ているようじゃ生きている意味がないのと同じ

本当はね、許して欲しい
こんな生き方しかできなくて

すごい圧力に押しつぶされそうだった、今なら分かるよ
一番助けて欲しい人に裏切られた夜

どうして分かってくれないんだろう、多くは望んでないのに
土と水だけより夢があればもう後悔しない

もしあの時左を選んでいたら、今とは違う僕がいるのだろうか?
もしあの時素直でいられたなら、今より作り笑顔が下手だった?

そんなことを考えて、自分嫌いになって
そんなことを考えて、全部人のせいにした

僕らは間違ってばっかりで
前に進んでく
少しずつ壊れていくけど
前に進んでく
歪んだ世界で救いの光が見えなくても

みんないつも何かに追われていて、美しい景色さえも気づかないで
たった一言だけで傷ついた時は、誰かを傷つけたこと忘れてた

そんなこと分かってても、優しさをつい隠して
そんなこと分かってても、人の波に溶け込んだ

僕らは間違ってばっかりで
前に進んでく
少しずつ壊れていくけど
前に進んでく
歪んだ世界で救いの光が見えなくても

いつも何かに包まれてて
導いてくれる力があった
けれど明日は決まってなくて
みんなの絵具が混ざって出来る

僕の色は何色なんだろう？
周りに溶け込む色を選ぶ

今まで何も
努力しなかった
辛くないけど
楽しくもない

おもいっきり深呼吸してからっぽの体に
希望を詰めようとしたけどうまくいかない
そんなもんかな？

風の匂いに気づかされた
何も間違ってない、違ってるだけ

僕の色は何色なんだろう？
空の色みたく変わってゆく

今まで何も
努力しなかった
もっともっと大切にしよう

おもいっきり深呼吸してからっぽの体に
希望を詰めようとしたけどうまくいかない
おもいっきり踏みつぶした空き缶のように
みんなも中途半端の心で生きていくんだろう
そんなもんかな？

いつか傷が癒えたら
もっと強くなれるだろう
その時まで、、、

I'm a faked hero, it is a pretty hard work
To make people laugh like a clown
When I am home, another 'I' leave home
My body is about to break even
Forcing myself to smile at everyone
Doesn't make me smile after all

It ain't possible to explain what's true inside
Not so many people wanna give me a ride
It ain't possible to explain what's true inside
Here I am two in one sitting alone

It's getting dark
Where has it gone?
I can't see the warm light of dawn

Time is hard
In any case
I can't even remember your face

I've climbed up here by myself
And lost all the strength to carry on
A thing that should be right here
Has suddenly and perfectly gone

Running fast as I can
Being overloaded, man
Makes me tired out
And dries my throat out
What I left behind by now
Seems to mean too much to me
Well it's necessary to look back again
Just a little rest...

Thousands of stars
Thousands of dusts
Are invisible against my lust

That is why
Far from here
Forgetting's coming right there

I denied all I had done
They were worth saving after all
Time told me what I had lost
And the past would never be recalled

Slowing down a little bit
A lot of time is waisted
I found I was wrong
My brand-new way to go
Now the thing that I long for
I hold it tight forevermore
And never let it go
I'm sure I can promise now
Just a little hurry...

I already forgot the melodies of memory

I thought it was a story in a country far from here
Eye for eye, ear for ear, your decision was wrong
Now is the emergency, what are you doing here
Tell me it is sad times, everything's going wrong

I didn't know where to go, just ran for cover
Bad daydreams of the past became clear and clear
My feeling reached at the top of all sadness and anger
It ain't worth sheding a drop of tears

If you're a parfect hero for all mankind
You can turn a murder into your brave story
If you're a perfect ruler of kingdoms of a kind
I can devote my soul to your selfishness

You better throw away the chunk of your foolish pride
Looking for a word to rhyme with 'conservative'
You're a victim of time when peace does lie
Open your eyes and rise up again

I didn't know where to go, just ran for cover
Bad daydreams of the past became clear and clear
My feeling reached at the top of all sadness and anger
It isn't worth sheding a drop of tears

If you're a parfect hero for all mankind
You can turn a murder into your brave story
If you're a perfect ruler of kingdoms of a kind
I can devote my soul to your selfishness

I'll finish up later
Wait for a while in a box

If they say it is right
So it is, I won't fight
I don't care if it is truly right or not

What they want me to be
Is the only thing that I see
I don't care where my own heart goes

An apple fell down on my head
I invented the apple is hard and red

Think something different!
Don't need your comment!
But the voice of common sense brings me back at the beginning

This is the damnest thing
I found what it brings
Their words should never change my mind

Bound by words of freedom
Not easy to overcome
But never disguise myself and never lie

An apple fell down on my head
I invented the apple is hard and red

Think something different!
Don't need your comment!
But the voice of common sense brings me back at the beginning

An apple's falling down on your head
Don't be afraid 'cause the fear will be dead

Think something different!
Don't need your comment!
But the voice of common sense brings me back at the beginning

I need something different
I don't need your comment

Bye!
I miss you

We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow Mr. Genius

Across the desert I did face
A black wall that stands steady and high
Once I ran away from the place
Here we go again, I'm back to re-try

As the same thing is done
I have spent every boring day
No need tomorrow with no fun
Here we go again, I'm just gonna make a change

No matter how deep I'm hurt
Right thing won't be defeated
Let's sing the lullaby that I heard long long ago

At any time you're by me and you will be
But I guess you're too enormous to A big guy came to the town
Where we live our life peacefully
He was breaking all down
I am the smallest so that's a hard pull

Being frightened with no plan
Yields no gain in any case
We're gonna win, sure we can
By throwing a small stone at his face

No matter how deep I'm hurt
Right thing won't be defeated
Let's sing the lullaby that I heard long long ago

At any time you're by me and you will be
But I guess you're too enormous to find
All I can do to you from me
Is saying a prayer of mine

Anytime I was here
Destination was clear
I went through hard times, that was a heavy ride

One step forward is blind
Only trust is a sign
I am supported, so I always stand tall

Everything leaves me behind
Nothing I want is mine
But the only thing I believe is my dream

I've chosen the way to go
Sometimes it's hard to know
If I fail, thing gets back as it was

Difference between 'many' and 'all'
Easily confuses me at all
Enemies surrounding me is getting real too much

Everything leaves me behind
Nothing I want is mine
But the only thing I believe is my dream

I thought I was strong
I found I cannot live alone
In a night, I feel uneasy
I just count stars inside me

4 am, I lie awake
Wish morning never broke for God's sake
What did I lose? Why are you dead?
Thoughts are spinning so fast around my head

Can't give you a glance
Give me a second chance

Wasted time, burning sins
Retracing my own years just begins

Can't give you a glance
Give me a second chance

Go back to the past
Is it too late?
Back to the past
No, it's not too late, I hope
Back to the past, when you are near

Can't remember how my childhood days were
Can't remember what conversations we did share

Everything's in the haze, colorless days
Like talking to the mirror, nobody answers

But I try so hard for your smile, for your cry
I am so glad when you smile, when you cry
That's my ordinary life

I remember you expected me to be nice
I remember pictures on the wall pained me twice

The pink pencil case is too girlish to me
Dad is laughing at it, you claime it needs to be

So I try so hard for your smile, for your cry
I am so glad when you smile, when you cry
That's my own life

Rubbing my sweating nose
Swallowing words to oppose
Who am I? What am I for?

But I try so hard for your smile, for your cry
I am so glad when you smile, when you cry
That's my ordinary life

I remember I promised to seize #7
I remember I couldn't imagine you in heaven...

You're far from here, watching the pouring rain
Lots of different medicines to take away the pain
All alone at night, kept in the white wall
When you need someone, there's no one to call

I'm okay, my life is still the same
Everyday, I'll be a good boy as you tame

But it's too late to see you're too far to reach
I didn't search over the sea when you weren't on the beach
Even your memory fades away 'coz you're too far to reach

Sometimes you're near with your cheek gone
When it's all revealed, I'm frozen to the bone

I'm okay, is your life still the same?
Everyday, I avoid the dangerous game
find
All I can do to you from me
Is saying a prayer of mine


Oh, it's too late to see you're too far to reach
I didn't search over the sea when you weren't on the beach
Even your memory fades away 'coz you're too far to reach

Forgetting little by little things that're out of sight
I haven't realized yet all the burning sins inside

(Now it's your turn)

The sunset paints all red
The white wall and the functional bed
I like nights that cover all black
'Cause I can sleep well like a dead

I'm losing half my face
But this is not my place

My life was beautiful
Before the tragidy found me
I didn't want more to my life
Thank God almighty for the fact to be

I've lost half my face
But this is not my place

Pray for me to get over
Only love can make us so much stronger
Pray for me to get over
Only love can make us so much stronger
As long as half my face is here

Just one thing to say:
"Go your own way!"

Winding the clock to move on
Not knowing it's out of order
Time stands still since you've gone
I don't have the guts to cross the border

Pushed the button to set it on fire
Felt the heat as if it blames me
Hiding a smile of this big lier
Flames were burning in some degree

I can't even cry when I'm really sad
recollecting the past makes me mad
What drives me crazy?
Get over it like crazy

The button didn't mean to forget you
My brain suffered from a disease
Picking up small pieces of you
Everything turned into ashes

I can't even cry when I'm really sad
recollecting the past makes me mad
I can't even cry when I'm really sad
recollecting the past makes me mad
What drives me crazy?
Get over it like crazy

You were sky for me
You were air for me
You were ground for me
How can I find the answer without you

How is your life in heaven?
It must be so comfortable
For all the pain you went thru
You've got a peaceful time now

I live my life with what I believe
I'm sorry I couldn't speak at all
This is a letter you never receive
To say goodbye to all

Spring is the time of changes
Full of worry and expectation

Keep your creator in your mind
Before toture makes you sign
Keep your creator in your mind
Before toture makes you sign

I live my life with what I believe
I'm sorry I couldn't speak at all
This is a letter you never receive
To say goodbye to all

I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid of a crowd

I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid of solitude

I'm drifted
I'm drifted
I'm drifted in a river of life

I'm trying
I'm trying
I'm trying to be an ordinary man by forgetting

Hollow people are lookin' for congestion
Many different thoughts are enough for digestion
Discussin' a problem that's out of question
Trying not to face the reality

Unfinished bussiness grows stress inside
Even the outside, territories colliede
Invisible force dents a small piece of pride
No one can hide the personality

In a box, pretend to sleep
Not to see anything, not to see anything
In a box, put headsets on
Not to hear anything, not to hear anything
The reason lies behind every unreasonable thing

Beautiful flowers are seen through the window
Restless mind is not able to know
Cold air and hot air mix and then blow
Or everyone keeps confidentiality

In a box, pretend to sleep
Not to see anything, not to see anything
In a box, put headsets on
Not to hear anything, not to hear anything
The reason lies behind every unreasonable thing

This box is indispensable to all
But this box has no freedom to call

My words spoken to her
Didn't mean a thing to her
So I make a detour every time

Real world was so cold
There was nothing to hold
Livin' in a fairly tale I told

I hope everything goes well
Like the story book I borrowed from her

Memories are so alive
I can't count down from five
Melodies are so sad
I can't get out of the trap of mad

Felt her breath on my skin
That made my brain spin
Her image changed again and again

A river tore in two
Her voice didn't work for glue
She was smiling at me with a rose

I hope everything goes well
Like the story book I borrowed from her

Memories are so alive
I can't count down from five
Melodies are so sad
I can't get out of the trap of mad

Magic can appear a red rose
But no trick is hidden behind one she chose

I like to read alone in a room
Silence and darkness are my own doom
Books of Philosopy I read them through
The point of the statement was not new

Happiness means something different to everyone

The meaning of life is so simple
It's always there to be found
I've got medicines for tomorrow
That bring me to higher ground

They said:
"It's better and easy to walk along the rail
That leads to stability, free from fear to fail"
(It was a lie)

Happiness means something different to everyone

The meaning of life is so simple
It's always there to be found
I've got medicines for tomorrow
That bring me to higher ground

I remember how my childhood days were
I remember what conversations we did share

The dream is over
Is this reality?
I've found the answer
Thoughts of clarity

Now I know I used to be so blind
Now I see I live with you till I die

The dream is over
I've found the emptiness
That's getting bigger
As far as I guess

Now I awake, the sun is shinning brighter
Now I try to fill my heart with laughter

New beginning
It's time to fix the direction
New beginning
Thank you for everything surrounding me

You are sky for me
You are air for me
You are ground for me
You are still here in my heart...
