夜鷹（Silly bird）

目先の欲望に飛びついて
まだ大丈夫だと高を括る
能のない爪を剥き出しにして

目先の成功に飛びついて
あたかも全て自分で成したかのように
下品な姿を世に晒していく

誰のおかげでもない
淘汰される前の遊びの時間だ
誰のおかげでもない
淘汰される前の余白の時間だ

運が良かっただけ　たまたま
利用されているだけ　まだまだ
機会が訪れただけ　たまたま
２度目はない　満身創痍のこの体では

目先の願望によだれを垂らし
まだ間に合うと高を括る
取らぬ狸の皮算用でもして

目先の獲物によだれを垂らし
あたかも既に捕まえたかのように
不適な笑みを浮かべて佇んでいる

誰のおかげでもない
淘汰される前の遊びの時間だ
誰のおかげでもない
淘汰される前の余白の時間だ

運が良かっただけ　たまたま
利用されているだけ　まだまだ
機会が訪れただけ　たまたま
２度目はない　満身創痍のこの体では

取るに足らないこの派生の中で
たまたま今存在しているだけ　それだけ

せめて飛ぶ前に跡を濁さずに
せめて飛ぶ前に爪を隠して
せめて飛ぶ前に跡を濁さずに
せめて飛ぶ前に爪を隠して

They jump at the immediate desire and bare their claws, thinking that everything will be all right.

They jump at the success of the moment, and expose their vile appearance to the world as if they had done it all by themselves.

It's time to play before we're eliminated thanks to no one, thanks to no one, time in the margins before we're eliminated thanks to no one

I've just been lucky, just happened to be used, just happened to be used, just happened to be the opportunity that presented itself, just happened to be the second chance, just happened to be the second time, in this body wracked with wounds

In this body, wracked with wounds, drooling over immediate desires, thinking that there's still time to make a move, calculating the skin of a raccoon that never takes...

I drool over my immediate prey and stand there with an inadequate smile on my face as if I've already caught it

It's time to play before we're eliminated thanks to no one, thanks to no one, it's time in the margins before we're eliminated thanks to no one

I've just been lucky, just happened to be used, just happened to be used, just happened to still have an opportunity presented to me, just happened to never happen a second time, in this body wracked with full wounds

I just happen to exist now in this insignificant derivation, that's all
