Lyrics Masayoshi Minoshima - MANIACAL DEGREE

願い事が叶う　嫌な売り言葉 口だけのものなら　今はいりません 貴方が望むもの　中身のない「愛」？ それに意味ないなら　お引取りください

願い事言えれば　願いは叶うの？ 愛を語るならば　そこに愛はある？ 言葉並べてても　中身空っぽよ 夢を語るならば　寝言だけにしてね

束縛され　時間もなく　動けなくて　苦しいまま 何も出来ず　奪われてる　私の今一つ自由 逃げられずに　繰り返した　同じ作業　進まぬ時 束縛から　逃げ出したい　現実から　逃げ出したい

溢れ出す想いは　行く当てもなくて 掴んでた物さえ　嘘に見えてる 夢を追う者は　夢に食われる 欲しいのはただの「自由」 溢れ出す想いは　行く当てもなくて 掴んでた物さえ　嘘に見えている 今は自由さえ　買わないとダメ？ 欲しいものは「自由」

幸せ手に入れる　無駄な売り言葉 口だけのものなら　全ていりません 私が望むもの　中身ある言葉 それに意味ないなら　お引取りください

願い事唱えて　そのまま寝てれば？ 人を愛すのなら　そこに愛はある？ 言葉並べてても　中身空っぽね 夢を語るならば　寝言だけにしてね

束縛さえ　抵抗せず　変わらなくて　流れるまま 同じことを　繰り返して　ひとつ消えた　私自身 逃げ出せずに従うだけ　同じ作業同じ時間 現実から　抜け出したい　この場所から抜け出したい

溢れ出す想いは　行く先も見えず 掴んでた物なら　全て嘘だよ 夢を追うものは　夢に躓く 欲しいのがただの「自由」 溢れ出す涙は　いずれは枯れ果て 掴んでた物なら　ここにはないのよ お金がないなら　期限は切れた 消えたものは「自由」

“Your wishes will come true!” is nothing but a gross slogan I don’t need words that are only words and nothing more Is what you wish for “love” empty of any substance? If your words have no meaning, I’ll have to ask you to leave

Do your wishes come true if you’re able to say them aloud? Does talking about love make what you feel really love? No matter how many words string together, they’re all empty If you want to talk about your dreams, save it for somniloquy

Shackled, there’s no time, I can’t move, kept in pain Unable to do anything, my remnants of freedom are swept away Unable to run away, again and again, locked in a single act, time frozen I want to break free of my chains, I want to run away from reality

My overflowing emotions have nowhere to go Even what I’ve grasped in my hands feels like a lie Those that chase their dreams are eaten by them What I want is simply “freedom” My overflowing emptions have nowhere to go Even what I’ve grasped in my hands feels like a lie Is even freedom now something you must buy? “Freedom” is all I want.

“You too can find happiness!” is nothing but a futile slogan I don’t need words that are only words and nothing more What I wish for, what I need are words that have substance If your words have no meaning, I’ll have to ask you to leave
Rather than repeating all your wishes, why don’t you just sleep? Do you actually think you’ll find love in loving others? No matter how many words you string together, they’re all empty If you want to talk about your dreams, save it for somniloquy

Unable to resist these chains, nothing changes as time flows on Doing the same thing over and over again, my self has disappeared Unable to run away, I only obey, locked in a single act, a single time I want to break free from reality, I want to escape from this place

My overflowing emotions cannot find anywhere to go Even all I’ve grasped in my hands is nothing but a lie Those that chase dreams fall before them What I want is simply “freedom” My overflowing tears will one day dry up There is nothing I have really grasped If you don’t have any more money, your time is up “Freedom” is lost.
