Hello, world!
tobira hirakeba nejireta hiru no yoru
kinou douyatte kaetta karada dake ga tashika
ohayou korekara mata maigo no tsudzuki
minareta shiranai keshiki no naka de
mou dame tte omotte kara wari to nandaka yareteiru
shi ni kiranai kurai ni joubu nanka chotto hazukashii
yarubeki koto wa wasureteitemo wakaru
sou shinai to totemo kurushii kara
kao wo agete kuroi me no hito
kimi ga mita kara hikari wa umareta
eranda iro de nutta sekai ni kakomarete
erabenai kizu no imi wa doko darou
gojibun dake ga HIIROO sekai no mannaka de
owaru made dezuppari SUTEEJI no ue
doushiyou karappo no furi mo dekinai
HAROO doumo boku wa koko
oboeteshimatta kankaku omoide to wa chigau tagui
motto namida no soba ni atte itsumo shinzou tsukamareteite
juubun rikai dekiteiru zutto sore to issho
sou ja nai to nanimo mienai kara
iki wo tsunagu ikiru tsuyoi hito
tomaru kokoro wo hikizutte tsuretekita

owaru made dezuppari jibun ga mite iru
dakara mou shinda furi mo imi nai
HAROO doumo boku wa koko
Hello, world!
If the door opens, there’s a twisted nighttime noon
Yesterday, how did I get home? Only my body is certain
Good morning, from here on out I’ll continue to be lost
Within this unknown scenery I’ve become used to
Because I thought it was no good, I was still able to do it somehow
I’m durable enough not to die, but it’s a little embarrassing
Even though I’ve forgotten, what I need to do is clear
To not do it is so painful
Raising my face, I see someone with black eyes
Because you saw it, light was born
I’m surrounded by a world painted with colors I chose
Somewhere there’s a meaning for these wounds I didn’t choose
I’m the only hero at the center of the world
Up on the stage until the very end
What can I do? I can’t pretend I’m empty
Hello, hi, I am here
The feeling I suddenly recalled, it’s the wrong sort of memory
It’s nearer to tears, always grabbing at my heart
There’s plenty of things I can understand that are always with me
Without those, I wouldn’t be able to see anything
Connected by a breath, we’re living as strong people
Dragging along our stopped hearts with us
With my covered ears I heard a melody like a rainbow
Singing within my memories that haven’t crumbled
I’m a hero that hides away. There’s things I want to protect
It’s scary, how I’ve now realized that
If the door opens, the truth is wrenched into lies
A pretense of emptiness, only my body is certain
Good morning, even now the end continues
Shout it out, from there: hi, I am here
So, open your eyes, you’re a strong person
Because those eyes saw it, everything was born
I’m surrounded by a world painted with colors I chose
Somewhere there’s a meaning for these wounds I didn’t choose
I’m the only hero with things I’ve protected
It’s scary, because I understand their worth
With my covered ears I heard a melody like a rainbow
Singing within my memories that haven’t crumbled
A hero, screaming from the center of the world
Acting until the very end, watching myself
Therefore, there’s no meaning in playing dead
Hello, hi, I am here
