[English]

In downtime, before this token

'Cause everything you hear is empty words

But who am I, oh to say this

'Cause everything you hear is just words, yeah

If to trust in, someone trust in

Someone trust to someone 'cause they're two-faced

'Cause all I need, is to see you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I need, is to see you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

In downtime, with constant sorrow, yeah

'Cause everything you care is just words

So what's the point, of going somewhere

And everyone you see, you see is just nothing but confused

If to trust in, someone trust in

Someone trust to someone 'cause they're two-faced

'Cause all I need, is to see you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I need, is to see you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

'Cause all I need, is to see you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out

To blossom out blossom out blossom out

And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out blossom out blossom out
