Description
Sometimes celebrations don't hit the mark. Everyone around you is clapping, smiling, baking a cake with numbers on it, but inside you feel like the candles are being lit not for the sake of making a wish, but to check how much strength you have left to breathe. It's as if the world is playing an endless marathon of ‘be happy,’ while your legs are already giving way from the fake smile.
And yet, there is a strange honesty in this bitterness. Not every day is about joy, not every life is about meaning. Sometimes, a celebration is just a reminder that you are still here. Even without applause, without gifts, without belief in miracles. Just alive - and maybe that's enough for now.

Just another dayWhat to do with my life誕生日がやってくる度 絶望を感じるよ十分に生きてきたの にまだまだ先は長いなんて僕が望ん で生まれたんじゃない 親の事情だろう因果で こんな世に踏み落とされたか自称 親友の皆様が自己満のサプライズでテ ンプレのケーキとろうそくの火を消せ とくHappyなんかではない 願いもない無理に作った笑顔はぎこちない来 年も今日も僕は変わらぬままでいるのか可愛い愛 許し合い傷の目合ったりしてるうちに 人生は終わっているんだHappy birthday to me今年も風まきなが らHappy birthday to meみんな踊りだすHappy birthday to me僕は どんな顔してるHappy birthday to meもしも世界に生まれる命が毎日限られてるとしたら大切な今日そ の一つが僕でよかったのかって思うきっと他の誰かが生まれたら世の中の役に立てたんじゃな いか自分なんか にはもったいない命どう使えばいい他の誰の誕生日でもなん も感動なんかしないよ365 日同じこと繰り返してるこんな雑魚から 引き換え生き残れるのかこの先の人 生考えりゃ言われるわけがない 誰かと繋がりが欲しいだけの交換会 過剰な包装をしてどんなプレゼントくれ る 生 きていてよかったといつか思えるのか な世界中の誕生日に共感できるやつ はいるだろうHappyなんかではない 願いもない無 理に作った笑顔はぎこちない来年も今日も僕は変わらぬままでいるのか可愛い愛 許し合 い傷の目合ったりしてるうちに人生は終わっているんだHappy birthday to me忘れ込んでいこうHappy birthday to me くだらねえ邪魔だしな
Happy birthday to meもしも自分なしでHappy birthday to me止まれ回 れるからHappy birthday to me僕は僕にいたいHappy birthday to me

Just another dayWhat to do with my lifeEvery time my birthday comes around, I feel despair.I've lived enough, but I still have a long way to go.I wasn't born because I wanted to.Maybe it's my parents' circumstances, but I've fallen into this world.My best friends, with their own self-fulfilling surprises, blow out the template cake and candles.I'm not particularly happy.The forced smile without any wishes is awkward. Year after year and today, will I remain the same? My sweet love, while we forgive each other and look at each other's wounds, life is over. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Everyone starts dancing as the wind blows around. Happy birthday to me. What do I look like? Happy birthday to me. If the lives that are born in this world are limited every day, I wonder if it's okay for me to be one of those precious today. I'm sure if someone else had been born, I could have been of use to the world. How can I use my life? It's such a waste for me. I'm not impressed by anyone else's birthday. I wonder if I'll be able to survive in exchange for these small fry who repeat the same thing 365 days a year. If I think about my future life, I can't say no. Exchange meetings where I just want to connect with someone. What kind of gifts will they give me with excessive packaging? Will I someday feel glad to be alive? Is there anyone around the world who can sympathize with birthdays? There's no such thing as Happy. There's no wish. The smile I made for reason is awkward Will I remain the same next year and today?My life is over as we forgive each other and look at each other's wounds with our cute love.Happy birthday to me.Happy birthday to me.Happy birthday to me.It's just a nuisance.It's just a nuisance.
Happy birthday to me If I don't have you, Happy birthday to me I can stop, so Happy birthday to me I want to be me Happy birthday to me
