August, a Certain Moonlight | 八月、某、月明り

I don't need anything at all!
Nanimo iranai

My heart beat annoyingly loud; when I walked, my breath caught in my throat
Shinzou ga urusakatta, aruku tabi iki ga tsumatta
For the first time, I fled my part-time job Hajimete BAITO wo nigedashita
Neither music nor life meant anything to me anymore Ongaku mo seikatsu mo, mou dou demo yokatta
More and more things just made me sick Tada ki ni kuwanai mono bakari ga fueta

August, in a certain moonlight, flying along on my bike

If a life can end at 27, then rock and roll is what saved me

I'm done thinking! I'll be dead someday after all Kangaeru no mo yame da! Douse shinu n dakara

They've got no taste for hymns over there Sanbika ga hayaranai
There is no God, after all Kamisama ga inai n dakara
