Quiet Riot

By Kawabe Chieko, from Shining
Japanese English
Wake mo naku tameiki ni, kumoru kokoro no naka de
Sotto mimi o sumashitara, koe ga kikoeru
Hampa na mama itazura ni, kono mama nagasaretara
Tatoe donna mirai mo, kono te de wa egakenai

(Silent screamin') Osae kirenai jibun ga iru
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Tsukami kakete iru, what I wanna do
Ima yume ga mezameru, no one can stop me goin' my way

Igokochi no ii basho de, yasashiku mamorareteru
Demo kitto itsu made mo, amaeterarenai
Muri da nante yoake ni, naru hi mo aru to omou
Sonna toki kono koe ga, kimi ni mo todoku you ni
(Silent screamin')

Katta hitori no jibun ga iru
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Dakara shinjitai, I do want to
Kono michi no kanata de, furimuita egao o

(Screaming and crowded, I understand
Reach out your hand, put this drama to an end 
All you gotta stand let the happiness rain
All you gotta do is sing-a-ling-aling
Come on girl lemme set you free
Around the world like a fire bee
You ain't gotta rate it by my standards now)

(Silent screamin') Osae kirenai jibun ga iru
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Tsukami kakete iru, what I wanna do
Ima yume ga mezameru, no one can stop me goin' my way

Katta hitori no jibun ga iru
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Dakara shinjitai, I do want to
Kono michi no kanata de, furimuita egao o
I cried when I heard the truth, I felt so close to your heart
I saw everything you did, I heard your voice
The hunter has her boards, These excuses are getting longer and longer
Even if you were my husband in the future I wouldn't hold your hand

(Silent screamin') I don't care about myself anymore
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
I want to run away What I wanna do
Now I see these dreams No one can stop me goin' my way

My mouth stops at this place, This was something special to protect
But you made your choice like always, The sky is crying
The purple twilight is becoming the start of a new day
This time your voice is your own ending
(silent screamin')

Because to myself I'm alone
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Because I want to believe I do want to
This way isn't how I want to share my last smile

(Screaming and crowded I understand
Reach out your hand Put this drama to an end 
All you gotta stand let the happiness rain
All you gotta do is sing-a-ling-aling
Come on girl lemme set you free
Around the world like a fire bee
You ain't gotta rate it by my standards now)

(Silent screamin') I don't care about myself anymore
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
I want to run away What I wanna do
Now I see these dreams
No one can stop me goin' my way

Because to myself I'm alone
Break down my shell, feel quiet riot
Because I want to believe I do want to
This way isn't how
I want to share my last smile
