Kaibutsu (from "Beastars")

Ah, let's raise our glasses to the lovely world we live in
Hear the sound of laughter lacking inhibition
All pretending they don't see the cold reality they're escaping
It's driving me crazy

There's something in the air that's sweet and unforgiving
Piercing through my nose until my head is spinning
Like a missing link making primal instincts awaken
So who'll be taken next?

It's so cruel, but what can I do?
Our world is conflictual, but what can I do?
Don't let the tears keep flowing down from your eyes
That are so black, I've lost myself so deep inside

Ah, reaching and clinging tight onto a future
That I have wished for time and time again
'Cause in a world so full of horrible misfortune
I just want you to smile again
So I promise, I'm not gonna hurt anyone
I'll get stronger and stronger still
'Til I've got the power to stay true to myself

Today's so peaceful in this lovely world we live in
Terrifying news I cannot bear to listen
So I tune it out, tune it out, act like I haven't heard it
Maybe it's insanity

The march of a protest that is dressed to kill
As they stomp and rumble, stepping, never standing still
And there's a horrid taste
Like a stain, every single thing that it touches
It lingers in the underworld

Living your entire life so righteous and pure
And keeping everybody happy with a charming allure
While living honestly, sticking to the path that you take
But is that really living without making any mistakes?

So tell me, is it right to live my life the way that I am?
And tell me, is it right to pull out every trick that I can?
Can anybody tell me what it is I'm meant to be?
'Cause I don't know who it is, I really am
Won't somebody tell me?
Will somebody tell me?

So today in a world that doesn't have the answers
I only wish that you someday will find them after all
And even though I'm awkward
I just want to laugh with you endlessly
Can you hear it?
The way that you're shaking
Your body is causing your heart to shout
Now has come the time for us to run, ah

All of the weakness I have felt before now
I will keep on devouring 'til it's gone
'Cause in a world so full of horrible misfortune
I just want you to smile again
So I promise that no one will cry anymore
I'll get stronger and stronger still
'Til I've got the power to stay true to myself

I will protect you, no matter the cost to my body
For that I'll keep running and running still
'Til I've got the power to exceed my limits
