The Unanswerable Questions Type D

[Verse 1] Seven winters old, they ask me to divide "Choose your love, child, pick a side" Fragments of devotion scattered on the floor Questions with no answers, bleeding at the core Small hands reaching through the smoke of their war Caught between the ruins of what love was for Every choice I make, someone's world will break In this house of mirrors, every step's a mistake [Pre-Chorus] Muscled arms and gentle lies 小さな手で首を絞める But strength was never mine to hold 力が足りない seven years old [Chorus] Unanswerable questions carve the soul Breaking children to make them whole We were shields in their endless fight Fragments falling from broken light Why must children choose between The people they were born to need This exhaustion learned too young Calculating where it all went wrong [Verse 2] Silver tongue cuts deeper than any blade Father's fists respond to mother's sharp parade "Stop him," she would call, "be brave, be strong" Hide behind closed doors where I belong Years of study, skills to build my wall Knowledge as armor, standing ten feet tall But beneath the surface, cold mathematics Planning exits, quiet and systematic [Pre-Chorus 2] Books and screens, my fortress made でも心の奥で計算してる Three days of pain, maybe survive 終わり方を探している [Bridge - ethereal, distant] Not seeking meaning in the light Not running toward or from the night Just measuring the weight of staying Against the cost of simply fading Train tracks gleaming in the rain Someone's rescue, someone's pain Acceptable endings, socially clean Death as service, not as scream [Chorus - heavier, more resigned] Unanswerable questions carved my soul Broke the child to save the whole We were weapons in their endless fight Fragments scattered, losing light Adults who demand we choose our love Between the earth and sky above This calculus learned far too young Weighing silence, weighing done [Outro - whispered, layered] Which parent do you love the most? Echoing through this hollow ghost Questions with no answers leave Only mathematics to believe The weight of staying The cost of leaving Forever calculating Never quite achieving Peace
