Lyrics
Nihongo
床に転がる砂時計 折れ曲がった秒針 歯車の外れた振り子 そう 時を刻む黒髪 波にたゆたう難宮に しまい込んだ明日 陽は昇りまだ沈めど 降り積もりだけの今日 時を止めたのは 少女自身でした（ナニモホシクナイ） "何も失くしたくない"大人になること拒んだ それでも 少女は"砂は落ちる" 長い髪を解き 忘れた時間に逆らうように 髪を切る 涙が作る時の隙間 静かに沈んでい

English Translation
An hourglass rolling on the floor, a hand of clock bended back and forth A pendulum separated from the cogwheel, and the black hair that tells time A palace swaying on waves, tomorrow is locked away in it The sun rises, and it sets again, today that merely piles up The one who stopped time was the girl herself (I don’t wish for anything) "Not wanting to lose anything", she refused to be an adult Even so, for the girl, "sands of time fall" Letting her long hair loose, as if defying the flow of time, she cuts her hair And tears up into the gap of time; she sinks quietly
Long Version
床に転がる砂時計 折れ曲がった秒針 歯車の外れた振り子 そう 時を刻む黒髪 波にたゆたう難宮に しまい込んだ明日 陽は昇りまだ沈めど 降り積もりだけの今日 時を止めたのは 少女自身でした（ナニモホシクナイ） "何も失くしたくない"大人になること拒んだ それでも 少女は"砂は落ちる" 長い髪を解き 忘れた時間に逆らうように 髪を切る 涙が作る時の隙間 静かに沈んでいく 高く聳える城壁 明日のない迷宮 振り出しに続く螺旋 そう 肩に揺れる黒髪 波にゆらめく揺り籠 膨らみゆくその胸 月は姿を変えれど 繰り返すだけの今日 瞳閉じたのは 少女自身でした（ナニモミタクナイ） "何も忘れたくない"過去になること恐れた それでも 少女に"針は進む" 床に散らばった 今日から零れて過去になった 髪を梳く 月が遮る涙の跡 静かに刻んでいく 囁く歌声 遠い日の今日に聴いた母の子守唄 涙が作る時の隙間 静かに沈んでいく

Long English Translation
An hourglass rolling on the floor, a hand of clock bended back and forth A pendulum separated from the cogwheel, and the black hair that tells time A palace swaying on waves, tomorrow is locked away in it The sun rises, and it sets again, today that merely piles up The one who stopped time was the girl herself (I don’t wish for anything) "Not wanting to lose anything", she refused to be an adult Even so, for the girl, "sands of time fall" Letting her long hair loose, as if defying the flow of time, she cuts her hair And tears up into the gap of time; she sinks quietly A rampart soaring high, a maze without tomorrow A spiral that goes on back to its beginning, and the black hair that sways from her shoulder A cradle swinging on waves, her chest puffs up The moon changes its shape, today that merely repeat The one who closed her eyes was is the girl herself (I don’t want to see anything) "Not wanting to forget anything", she was afraid of becoming a thing of past Even so, for the girl, "clock hands advance" Scattered on the floor spilling from today Untangling her hair that has become a past, the moon obstructs the traces of her tears Carving it quietly Soft singing voice for today of the distant days, a mother’s lullaby that she used to hear She tears up and into the gap of time, she sinks quietly
