Beautiful Cruel World [Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai] lyrics

There's a dream my heart just can't seem to leave behind

Like a flower holding on for life, inside my mind

Time and again, I push it away from me

But it finds a way back in sleep

My beating heart drowns my thoughts away

Tearing apart this dreamer's way

But still I know deep inside my soul

That I never can let it go

How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?

Always asking why we're really here

Losing all of our control to our fears

Some of us are strong, some of us are weak, but still we seek... 

For a new day that can offer more

Do we really know the world we're fighting for?

Up above the grey of the sky reflects my eyes

All the air that sweeps around me seems to coldly sigh

And to join us in our despair the heavens weep

As we wait on eternal sleep

Try to escape from reality

By searching for a fantasy

But still I know that I have to go

Can't hold on to a dream of home

How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?

Always fighting to survive the day

Giving all we have to keep death at bay

Are we really here, is it really clear despite the fear?

Should we fight on for the ugly truth?

Or should we hide behind the lies of distant youth?

What if I could turn into a melody

And traverse the world at the speed of sound?

I'd go all the way around

Like a song of hope profound

For the ones who need answers to distant pleas

How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?

Always asking why we're really here

Losing all of our control to our fears

Some of us are strong, some of us are weak, but still we seek... 

For a new day that can offer more

Do we really know the world we're fighting for?
