Bravery
by hidoko Matsumoto
lining up insufficient words
that can't convey the true things
(to do it) with only gentleness
can't protect, (to say it) with only truth can't be conveyed
In photographs can't be reflected
(photographed/duplicated)
the absolute feeling under
that faked smiling face
don't listen (to it) so much,
don't destroy it so much
That is your desired world
Don't say things like the past
was good
as if you knew something of
that shining time
Unvanishing wounds still exist,
you who are also on the same route won't understand
Holding unbudgingly to the false
truth
Ran away, then, (our) hearts
strayed
Not hating it, surely this sort
of person will always be (as he is)
that is your made-up world
To say things like the past
was good, but
Only saying it based on what
is reflected in those eyes
(you're) Speaking as if having
seen everything, but
Just the surface, you who can't
see, what are you using to judge
The truth will never be shared
to anyone
It's fine if (you) don't come,
it's fine if (you) don't watch
Don't intrude on us at all,
this is what we've decided
Don't say things like the past
was good
as if you knew something of
that shining time
Always doing nothing but bad
things, don't say it already
If the path we've chosen is
wrong... already not existing
you have no bravery to know
the truth
you will help us
we will help you
