モザイクカケラ ひとつひとつ繋ぎ合わせて描いてゆく
あなたがくれた 出逢いと別れも
こんなはずじゃない そう思って眠り
目覚めればいつもの 変わらない空回り
意味も無く繰り返し
モザイクカケラ 拾い集めてた「上手く生きる為の術」
歪なソレが美しく見えたんだ
強がりながら躓きながら選び抜いた道の上で
剥がれ落ちては埋まらないカケラ
それぞれの意地を敷き詰めた世界
誰にも譲れないモノがあるはずなのに
色取りを気にしてる
モザイクカケラ 様々な色や形に魅せられながら
望み過ぎてた「若気の至り」よ
心の隙間 愛のセメントを信じては流し込んで
決して溶け合うことのないカケラ
コントラストが綺麗だから 逆に凸凹でいい
なんとなく順番を待ってないで 自分なりの答えを見つけよう
モザイクカケラ 鮮やかに映す過去の嘘も過ちも
消してしまいたいと想えば想うほど
振り返ればそこにあるスタートライン未だ進んじゃいない
もう一度夢を拾い集めてみよう
モザイクカケラ ひとつひとつ繋ぎ合わせて描いてゆく
あなたがくれた 出逢いと別れも
