Tell me what color?

Tell me what color?(2016)

A phone heard from a distant place
Anxiety being beaten if you say
But what they want to tell
It's not white or black
I don't return what color you are

Just scared and running away
Everyone read it
In a contingent of barely
On the contrary it has become a terrible color
I'll get anxious in the future

What's there for you?
What's coming to you?
How much in a basket
It's free to pretend and tell
I want to keep showing it

After all it gives up on people
It will end with
To start it again
It's not white or black
To tell you what color you are

That kind of gentleness is named
Who can be seen the farthest?
If you're on the same face as you
On the contrary it has become a terrible color
I'm not kind, it will be sad

What's there for you?
What's coming to you?
How much in a basket
It's free to pretend and tell
I want to keep showing it

What am I in there?
What will come to me?
What's there for you?
What's coming to you?
How much in a basket
It's free to pretend and tell
I want to keep showing it

何色か教えて？(2016)

遠いところから聞こえるphone
言えば叩かれてしまう不安
だけど 彼らが伝えたいのは
白か黒かではなく
君が何色か 返さないこと

怖がって逃げているだけ
それを誰もが読み取って
ギリギリのその場しのぎで
逆に酷い色になってる
僕は先が不安になるよ

君に何があるのか
君に何が来るのか
籠の中で どれだけ
自由なフリして 伝えるかだと
それを僕は示し続けたい

結局は人を諦めてしまえば
こいつもか、と終わってしまう
それを また始めるためには
白か黒かではなく
君が何色か 伝えてくこと

その名付けた優しさって
一番遠くに誰が見える？
もしも君と同じ顔なら
逆に酷い色になってる
優しくはない、悲しくなるよ

君に何があるのか
君に何が来るのか
籠の中で どれだけ
自由なフリして 伝えるかだと
それを僕は示し続けたい

僕に何があるのか
僕に何が来るのか
君に何があるのか
君に何が来るのか
籠の中で どれだけ
自由なフリして 伝えるかだと
それを僕は示し続けたい
