Kaibutsu (from "BEASTARS")

Ah, another day and I’m already lost, defeated
In a world, so wonderful, though voices crowd the city
So again, I will pretend that I cannot hear them shrieking
‘Cause I’m going crazy

The sweetest smell I can’t describe ’s invading my mind
Something is awakening, I feel it stir inside,
And suddenly, I pause to think,
Whose turn will it be today then?

Within this broken world,
What can I - I even achieve?
What can I do? I don’t think I can do a thing?
‘Cause I’d give anything to never once see
Your pretty eyes filling with tears because of me

I wish with all my heart for a brighter tomorrow
Far beyond the hold of the mistakes that taint the world today,
I’m clinging endlessly onto this dream,
Cause I wanna see you smile

Never, not ever, will I hurt another,
I want - I just want to be stronger still
So I can continue on, true to who I am

Another day and it’s already sickly peaceful,
In this world, so wonderful, though gossip clouds the city
With a howl, shrill and loud
I turn away, blocking them all out
Guess I’m really losing it cause now-

With my head held high, I’m proudly marching
There’s full intent behind the sound of each and every step - and
There’s a taste - That won’t fade
Tempting me like a fruit, forbidden
A glimpse into the underworld

Ahh~

Gotta live my life, aiming for only the light
Gotta live never hurting someone cause that shit isn’t right
I gotta live with honor, never going over the edge
I gotta live right without making one mistake in my life

So tell me is it right to live just as I am, truthfully?
Or tell me is it better to live when I have to deceive?
‘Cause I don’t know exactly who I am supposed to be
Can someone look me in the eyes and tell me who it is I am exactly?
Can someone tell me?

Even though another day has passed without an answer
In this world, I fear that there may not be one at all to find
And if that’s true, I wouldn’t mind as long as I
Can still laugh with you

Quickly - It’s racing
This heart in my chest,
My whole body is shaking; I’m screaming out
Maybe it’s a sign that now’s the time…

I wish with all my heart, that I will overcome this
Weakness in my soul, devouring it time and time again
Every mistake that I have made til now,
Cause I wanna see you smile

Never, not ever, will I hurt another,
I want - I just want to be stronger still
So I can protect all those I love with all I am

So it’s a promise, I swear this, with all that I am
I’ll keep running - I’m running - I’m racing on
So I can surpass the me who’s holding me back
