炎 [Honoo] [English translation]

Gathering up photographs of the burnt remains

Then stowing them away

The fire that I saw in a distance that day　

It happened right here

Crooked fingertips, charred

The sparkling of the melted glass

How much of one's feelings can remain?

You're still alive, in flames

As if you've forgotten even your sadness

Squinting, like you don't understand

The fragile and soft ash

That you step on

Makes your heart come apart at the seams

Then crumble away

As the smell of burnt hair

Proved my existence

Are you setting yourself on fire, too?

You're still alive, in flames

Letting those helping hands melt in heat

You just stand there like you don't understand their words

Until it gets so hot that you feel no pain

Let the blue flame burn you to white ashes

You're still alive, in flames

As if you've forgotten even your sadness

Smiling, like you don't understand

You're still alive, in flames

The tailwind is burning down everything in its path

You are

Burning

Yet, still alive
