[English]

No

It's salty, the first encounter I smelled and tasted

I'm self-destructive, average reasoning is poor

Welcome, aiming for a healthy body with extra garlic

My stomach is satisfied

The honor student dances pretending to be ignorant

It's a flaw, because I grasp the situation, I'm on pause

No more transfers, let's flaunt our inferiority complexes

You know it can't be changed, right?

An incomprehensible player with a selfish intuition

If requested, it's a disaster meeting

Getting better with pointless arguments

More motto? It's surprisingly tough already

Even if I scream annoyingly, even if I get hit

Unyielding days, becoming nourishment, let's dirty each other again

Not understanding my remaining lives, not leveling up

The tear ducts reflexively react, singing with a muddy voice, I'm grateful

I want to try it, it's warm

In a life-or-death situation, the night feels good

I dreamed of an ordinary life

It's nice to take the initiative

Watering right after coming home, human activities

To be honest, even if I'm blessed, the feeling of emptiness is my friend

Waking up from sleepiness, whispering, signaling until I drink it all

Time spent happily together

An incomprehensible player with a selfish intuition

If requested, it's a third meeting

I appreciate the detailed feedback

In the end, my pupils dilate

Even if I scream annoyingly, even if I get hit

Unyielding days, becoming nourishment, let's dirty each other again?

Not understanding my remaining lives, not leveling up

The tear ducts reflexively react, singing with a muddy voice, I'm grateful

I want to try it, it's warm

In a life-or-death situation, the night feels good

I dreamed of an ordinary life

It's nice to take the initiative

I just want to be calm

I think I don't want to trouble anyone

If I don't fight, I won't be petted

It was simple and clear

Even if I scream annoyingly, even if I get hit

Unyielding days, becoming nourishment, let's dirty each other again

Not understanding my remaining lives, not leveling up

The tear ducts reflexively react, singing with a muddy voice, I'm grateful

Rock-paper-scissors for what I want to say, thank you for your patronage

First, prepare until it feels real

Can't spit it out right away, it's anticlimactic

The tear ducts reflexively react, singing with a shriveled brain, I'm grateful

I want to try it, it's tiring, itchy, and shallow

I wanted to laugh about trivial things

Anxiety that can't be satisfied with a meal

It's tiring to act out, but I can't underestimate the wounds

At the peak in a session, healthy and

It feels good

...

[Japanese]

嫌

しょっぱいぜ 初めて嗅いで舐めた出会い

自暴自棄です 平均的な正論が貧乏

いらっしゃいませ ニンニク増しで目指した健康体

腹歌満たしてる

優等生 無知なフリして踊っちゃって

欠点です 現状把握しちゃうから中断中

もう譲渡 見せびらかし合いましょ劣等感妄

変えられゃしないってわかってるからぁ？

直感で自己中な理解不能プレイヤ

求められたなら惨事会

くだらん口喧嘩でマシになんだ

モットーもっと？ もう意外と辛いのに

うざいくらい 叫んだって喰らったって

譲れない日々よ 栄養になってまた 汚しあえ

残機わかんなくて 上がんなくて

脊髄反射の涙腺は 濁った声で歌えば感謝です

（試したいわ） あたたかくて

（絶体絶命な） 夜は気持ちい

（平凡な生活） ゆめみたけど

（先手必勝が） 気持ちいいな

帰ってすぐに水やり 人間の営み

実のところ恵まれても 虚無感が友だち

眠気覚まし耳打ち 飲み干すまで合図血

仲良しこよしの時間

直感で自己中な理解不能プレイヤー

求められたなら三次会

細かいご指摘も有り難き

結局 瞳孔開いてしまうのに

うざいくらい 叫んだって喰らったって

譲れない日々よ 栄養になってまた 汚しあえ？

残機わかんなくて 上がんなくて

脊髄反射の涙腺は 濁った声で歌えば感謝です

（試したいわ） あたたかくて

（絶体絶命な） 夜は気持ちい

（平凡な生活） ゆめみたけど

（先手必勝が） 気持ちいいな

ただ穏やかでいたい

誰にも迷惑かけたくはないと思うが

戦わないと 撫でてもらえない

単純明快でした

うざいくらい 叫んだって喰らったって

譲れない日々よ 栄養になってまた 汚しあえ

残機わかんなくて 上がんなくて

脊髄反射の涙腺は 濁った声で歌えば感謝です

言いたいことジャンケン ご愛顧じゃ

まずは実感湧くまで 拵え

すぐ吐けなくて 呆気なくて

脊髄反射の涙腺は 萎んだ脳で歌えて感謝です

（試したいわ） だりいし痒いし薄っぺらい

くだらないことで笑いたかった

賄いじゃ満たされない不安感

暴れるのは疲れる でも侮れない 傷には

セッションで絶頂で健康で

きもちいな
