Agaite, aganai, ikiru riyuu sagashitenda
Mabushii hikari wa, sou? kinou ni wa nai kara
Ate mo naku hashiru sutorei doggusu

Kuuhaku wo umeru you, motometeitanda
Ichigyou no bunshou -sentence- wo
Nai mono nedaru kedo, sore ja nanimo te ni hairanai ya
Doushite... itsumo koboreochiteiku no ka

Yogoreteshimatta kono te wo sora e to... nobasu no sa

Akogare, aragai, ikiru riyuu sagashitenda
Hosshita kotae wa mou kinou ni wa nai darou
Atarashii peeji wa mayou hate no jibun jishin ga
Tsudzutteku rezondeetoru

[Full Version Continues:]

Gyoukan wo tadayou, uso to shinjitsu no
Teigi nante muimi -nonsense- sa
Kainarasenai honnou, me wo sorashite nigeteitanja
Kekkyoku, sukuwarenai mama nanda yo

Iyasenai kawaki, kakaeteiru no wa... dare nandai?

Aoide, azanai, ikiru riyuu sagashitenda
Kotoba no sabaku wo samayotteikundarou
Mukaiau daremo ga mayou hate no jibun jishin sa
Karamatteiku paradokkusu

Nai mono nedaru no wa... nai to kimeteta kara
Kainarasenai no wa... shinjitenakatta kara

Itami wo shiru
Sono koto ga kyuusai no hajimari to kidzuita yo... te wo nigire

Agaite, aganai, ikiru riyuu mitsukerunda
Mabushii hikari wa, sou... kinou ni wa nai kara
Atarashii peeji wo tsukuru no wa jibun jishin sa
Asu e hashiru sutorei doggusu

I am struggling and can't come up
I am searching for the reason to live
You can't find a bright light from yesterday
We're stray dogs, running and wandering without a destination

I'll fill in that blank space I was searching for just one line
(One line...) A sentence
I ask for what I don't have, but that leaves my hands empty
Why does everything always end up slipping away?

I'll reach this tainted hand up to the sky

[thanks for visiting animesonglyrics.com]

Desire and resistance
I am searching for the reason to live
The answer won't be there anymore in the past

A brand new page will be filled by my lost self
Raison d'être*!

[Correct Info]

For weeks, Atsushi Nakajima's life at the orphanage has been marred by a mystical tiger that only he seems oblivious to. Suspected as the cause of these strange occurrences, the 18-year-old finds himself abruptly cast out of the orphanage, thrust into a world of hunger, homelessness, and aimless wandering through the city.

While starving on a riverbank, Atsushi becomes a savior when he rescues Osamu Dazai, a peculiar man with an affinity for contemplating suicide and a knack for supernatural investigations. Dazai has been on the trail of the very same tiger that has plagued Atsushi's existence. Joined by Doppo Kunikida, Dazai's partner, they unravel the mystery surrounding the tiger. However, the resolution of the case propels Atsushi into a precarious situation.

As a series of peculiar events unfold, Atsushi finds himself coerced into joining their unconventional team of supernatural investigators. Tasked with handling cases too extraordinary for the police to handle, he becomes entangled with a group of enigmatic co-workers, embarking on a journey filled with unusual circumstances and secrets waiting to be unraveled.
