Verse 1

Listen, child, before you draw the blade
子よ　剣を抜く前に
Ask yourself where you stand tonight
まず　己の立ち方を問え

They tell me “fight harder, scream louder”
叫べと言われ　急げと言われ
But my heart says “stay, align”
心は静かに　位置を正せと言う

Pre-Chorus

Don’t copy the shape you see in light
形を真似るな
Hear the breath beneath the form
形の奥に沈む
Why am I breathing, who am I for
呼吸の理由を　聴け

Chorus

I don’t grab the river, I feel the shore
川は掴めない
But my feet remember where not to fall
岸を知る足は　流されない

I fight the absurd, the unfair, the wrong
理不尽　不条理　不合理
Not with rage, but staying strong
怒りじゃない　在り方で

My voice doesn’t shout, it reaches inside
叫ばぬ声が　心に届く
That’s how I survive
それが　私の戦い

Verse 2

Like water resting in its cup
水が器に収まるように
No war inside, no tearing up
正しい型は争わず
Just being where I belong
ただ　在るべき場所に在る

They push me fast, they twist the rules
世界は急かし　歪める
But balance is my quiet tool
それでも私は　崩れない

Pre-Chorus 2

Hold nothing tight, let motion pass
留めようとするな
Stillness lives in practiced stance
留めねど留る
It’s not magic, it’s the path I chose
ふしぎじゃない　選んだ道

Chorus

I don’t grab the river, I feel the shore
川は掴めない
But my feet remember where not to fall
岸を知る足は　流されない

I fight the absurd, the unfair, the wrong
理不尽　不条理　不合理
Not with rage, but staying strong
怒りじゃない　在り方で

My voice doesn’t shout, it reaches inside
叫ばぬ声が　心に届く
That’s how I survive
それが　私の戦い

Bridge

In a world that breaks its own design
壊れた世界の中で
I tune my breath, I draw the line
私は呼吸を整える

No justice here, no perfect law
正義も完全もない
So I become my own north star
だから私は　私の北極星

Final Chorus

I won’t grab the river, I know the shore
掴まない　知っている
Where I stand, what I’m fighting for
立つ場所と　戦う理由

Against the absurd, the unfair, the wrong
理不尽　不条理　不合理
I stay aligned, I stay strong
私は　崩れない

My silent voice, deep and true
静かな声が　届く
That’s how I fight
それが　私の戦い
That’s how I live
それが　私の生き方
