[English]

Everyone makes fun of me, don't underestimate me

Unable to do what I want - if I were them, would I do it?

I'll do it at school - seventeen, still seventeen

Unable to erase things, unable to kill - so when will I be able to kill?

Growing up and wanting it, seventeen - is seventeen OK?? still seventeen

Ah, never-ending, covered in blood, collapsing - Reincarnating and becoming God, that's me

Now is not the time to get serious, it's not a lie, did you know?

A wise hawk hides its claws

Even if I go crazy - I'm not trash, did you know?

I can't quit here, to die or live

Unable to say what I want to say - so when will I say it??

I'll say it at the company - twenty, already twenty

Even wanting to die doesn't heal - so when will it heal?

Growing up and wanting it, twenty - already twenty, because twenty

Ah, never-ending, covered in blood, collapsing - Reincarnating and becoming God, that's me

Now is not the time to get serious, I'm not stupid, did you know?

I'm just not saying anything

Even if my mind goes crazy - I'm not garbage, did you know?

I can't sleep here, to die or live

That girl was babbling, people die someday

You have to show your true seriousness

No longer living the way I want to - so when will I live??

I'm going to live from now on, yes - because I'm not a kid or an adult, I'm ME

Still never-ending, covered in blood, collapsing - Reincarnating and becoming God, still more

Now is not the time to get serious, it's not a lie, did you know?

I'm not the base of a triangle

Even if I go crazy - it's not a delusion, did you know?

It won't end in a daydream, don't laugh

Everyone makes fun of me

[Japanese]

みんなが僕をバカにすんだ　ナメんな

もうやりたいことやれずに ああいつになったならやりますか？

学校でやってやるんです seventeen　まだseventeen

ああ消したい事殺れずに じゃあいつになれば殺れます？

大きくなって求めるんだ　seventeen まだseventeen’S OK??　まだseventeen

ああ終わらず　血まみれ　倒れて 転生して　神になるんだ　僕はねっ

本気出すのは今ではない　嘘じゃない　知ってた？

能ある鷹はね爪隠すの

頭がおかしくなっちゃっても クズじゃない　知ってた？

ここでやめちゃだめでしょ　to die or 生

言いたいことも言えずに じゃあいつになれば言うんですか？？

会社で言ってやるんです twenty　もうtwenty

死にたいことも癒えない じゃあいつになれば癒える？

大きくなって求めるんだ　twenty もうtwentyだった　だってtwenty

ああ終わらず　血まみれ　倒れて 転生して　神になるんだ　僕はねっ

本気出すのは今ではない　馬鹿じゃない　知ってた？

ただなにも言わないだけで

精神がおかしくなっちゃっても ゴミじゃない　知ってた？

ここで寝てちゃだめでしょ　to die or 生

あの子がさほざいてた　人はいつか死ぬと

本当に本気を見せないと

生きたいようにもう生きずに じゃあいつになれば生キル？？

いまから生きてやるんだ　そう KODOMOでも　OTONAでも無い　BOKUだから

まだ終わらず　血まみれ　倒れて 転生して　神になるんだ　まだまだ

本気出すのは今ではない　嘘じゃない　知ってた？

三角形でいう底辺じゃねえ

頭がおかしくなっちゃっても 妄想じゃない　知ってた？

白昼夢で終わらない　嗤うんじゃねえ

みんなが僕をバカにすんだ
