言霊

息を吸う　夜が薄く笑う 吐く息が　影を縫い留める 灯りのない　鈴音の余韻 祈りのふりした噂がまとわりつく 守れなかった約束の名を 胸の奥で　何度も書き直す ひと文字で　世界はほどける 弱さも強さも　声に宿るなら 震える喉で　いま刻め 逃げ道のない　私の印 言霊 　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊 　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 救いも罪も　呼べば返る 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　影を縫え 墨が滲むみたいに広がる不安 見えない鎖が　指先まで絡む 「もう無理だ」って言いかけた瞬間 闇が嬉しそうに　近づいた でも知ってる　言葉は刃じゃない 現実そのものを　形にするもの 息を整え　目を開けて 私を呼ぶ　ただそれだけ 言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 救いも罪も　呼べば返る 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　影を縫え 声は祈り　声は誓い 誰かの明日を　ほどいて結ぶ 傷も願いも　抱いたまま 私は私を　名乗り直す 言霊　その一音で夜が裂ける 言霊　口にした瞬間、運命が跳ねる 迷いの輪を　踏み越えていけ 消えない　消せない　私の声 言え　言え　言え 言霊　希望を呼べ 静けさに　鈴がひとつ 言い切った言葉だけが　残る

I draw a breath as the night smiles thin and pale Each breath I exhale stitches down the shadows Unlit alley, the lingering tone of a bell Rumors masquerading as prayers cling to my skin The name of a promise I could not keep I rewrite it again and again deep in my chest With a single letter, the world unravels If both weakness and strength reside in a voice Then carve it now with a trembling throat This mark of mine with no escape Kotodama—with one sound, the night is torn open Kotodama—the moment spoken, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin alike return when called This voice of mine, unfading, unerasable Say it, say it, say it Kotodama, sew up the shadows Unease spreads like bleeding ink Unseen chains coil down to my fingertips The instant I was about to say "I can't go on" The darkness drew near, with a joyful grin But I know now, words are not blades They are what gives shape to reality itself I steady my breath, open my eyes And call my own name, only that Kotodama—with one sound, the night is torn open Kotodama—the moment spoken, fate leaps and turns Salvation and sin alike return when called This voice of mine, unfading, unerasable Say it, say it, say it Kotodama, sew up the shadows A voice is a prayer, a voice is a vow Unraveling someone's tomorrow, then tying it anew Carrying my wounds and wishes alike I reclaim and speak my own name once more Kotodama—with one sound, the night is torn open Kotodama—the moment spoken, fate leaps and turns Step over the circle of doubt and walk on through This voice of mine, unfading, unerasable Say it, say it, say it Kotodama, summon the hope In the stillness, a single bell rings Leaving only the words I declared outright
