[English]

[Music]

I was a pathetic, slovenly, and miserable man. A mess, stumbling through life, losing my way under a collapsing ceiling. Is it okay?

[Music]

[Vocals]

[Music]

[Music]

The beauty of a bloated rat stands out. This was shit.

[Vocals]

[Music]

Ah, I'm falling in love with someone again. It makes me sad. It makes me suffer.

[Music]

[Music]

And yet, I repeat it over and over again. [Music]

It makes me want to die. [Music]

I'm seriously in it, but I can't stop. Laugh at this love of mine.

[Music]

[Music]

Despite craving a decent, proper kind of affection,

I can't help but crave even a shallow, passing warmth. [Music]

Are you even human? I'd rather be hated than...

As a human, in my desperate struggle, [Music]

[Vocals]Torn apart.

Even a clown can no longer laugh. [Music]

I was such a fool, I couldn't even stand back up. [Music] Again,

I'm exposed to the sting of love, through tears and water.

Water... [Music]

Even if I use water to disinfect the wounds of my heart, [Music]

It still hurts, it still hurts, damn it.

Just hurry up and do it to me. [Music]

I've committed so many sins, and yet I want more.

[Music]Three more drinks, and we've failed.

[Music]

If it's like that, then it's fine. Yes. I won't remember from there.

[Sigh][Gasp]

I'm falling in love with someone again. It makes me sad.

It makes me suffer. And yet, [Music]

I repeat it over and over again.

It's so pathetic, I just want to drink. Ah, [Music]

Once again, I'll lie without a second thought.

Give me the string to hold onto, even if I'm just being played.

Just to drink... [Music]

Even if I'm abandoned once in a while, [Music] I know,

But I can't stop. Laugh at this love of mine.

[Music]

It hurts. Even if it's me, please understand me.
