秘密の合図

街の照明が点滅するたび 胸のどこかで同じリズムが鳴る タイムカードに滲む小さな違和感 メッセージの既読は黙ったまま 誰もが「普通」を装う交差点で 左ポケットだけが秘密を知っている 曖昧な笑顔の裏側　拾い集めた欠片 繋げたら地図になる　出口はまだ見えない 胸の奥で点滅する　秘密の合図 「もう大丈夫」と言えるまでの救難信号 名前を呼ぶかわりに　光らせて 迷子のふりをやめる合言葉 私たちが私たちへ送る　秘密の合図 監視カメラの死角で交わした視線 貼り紙の一行だけフォントが違う 終電間際　ホームに落ちる長い影 三回鳴って途切れる呼び出し音 偶然じゃないよね？　心は知っている 沈黙という陰謀が私たちを囲む 恐れを学んだ日々を越えるように 偶然じゃないよね？　心は知っている 沈黙という陰謀が私たちを囲む 恐れを学んだ日々を越えるように 小さく深呼吸　合図を確かめる 胸の奥で点滅する　秘密の合図 「ここにいるよ」と震える微かなモールス うまく笑えない夜を照らして 信じたい未来へ進むための 私たちだけの　秘密の合図 真実はどこか遠くじゃない すれ違うたび落ちる視線の中 陰謀は世界の上じゃなく 私の中の「黙ること」だった 胸の奥で点滅する　秘密の合図 「恐れないで」と言い切れるまで続けよう 握りしめた手のひら　震えが合図になる もう誰にも消させない　確かな光で 今　私たちが世界へ送る　秘密の合図 静かに朝が来る　消去のような 目を合わせたら　同じリズムが笑う 合図…

Each time the city lights flicker on and off that same rhythm starts beating somewhere in my chest A faint unease bleeds into the punch-clock card The message read but answered only with silence At a crossing where everyone wears "ordinary" like a mask only my left pocket knows the secret we keep Behind the vague smile, the fragments I've gathered piece by piece join them and they form a map, though the way out is still unseen Flickering deep in my chest, a secret signal a distress call sent until I can finally say "it's alright now" Instead of calling out your name, I let it glow the password that ends our pretending to be lost From us, to us, we send it, our secret signal A glance we traded in the blind spot of the camera just one line on the notice printed in a different font The last train near, a long shadow falling on the platform a ringtone that sounds three times then cuts away This isn't coincidence, is it? My heart already knows A conspiracy called silence is closing in around us as if to carry us past the days that taught us fear This isn't coincidence, is it? My heart already knows A conspiracy called silence is closing in around us as if to carry us past the days that taught us fear A small deep breath, and I make sure the signal's there Flickering deep in my chest, a secret signal a faint trembling morse that says "I'm right here with you" lighting up the nights I just can't bring myself to smile so we can walk toward the future we want to believe in ours and ours alone, our secret signal The truth isn't somewhere far away from here it's there in every glance that drops as we pass by The conspiracy was never up above the world it was the "staying silent" buried deep inside of me Flickering deep in my chest, a secret signal let's keep it going until I can say outright "don't be afraid" The palm I clench so tight, its trembling becomes the sign no one will ever erase it again, with this certain light now, the two of us send it out to the world, our secret signal Quietly the morning comes, like something being erased and when our eyes meet, that same rhythm starts to smile A signal…
