何かがぼくをゆり動かしている
それに気づかずに死ぬのはまっぴらさ
静かな夜に迷い込んだ時は
言葉をあつめて深いところまで

潜りたい
教えたい
教えない

弱いとこ見せてあげれないよ

何かがぼくをゆり動かしている
それに気づかずに死ぬのはまっぴらさ
静かな夜に迷い込んだ時は
言葉をもらって君のところまで

潜りたい
教えたい
教えない

弱いとこ見せてあげれないよ

君のオープンコードに帯びる
つたなさの奥に隠した
美しさが目に染みる
澄んだ情熱をエメラルドとぼくは呼びたいのさ

何かがぼくをゆり動かしている
それをくれたのは君だと分かってる
静かな夜に迷い込んだ時は
すぐにぼくに

知らせて
教えて
凄いところまで

弱いとこ見せてあげたいよ

君のオープンコードに帯びる
つたなさの奥に隠した

美しさが目に染みる
澄んだ情熱をエメラルドとぼくは呼びたいのさ
