[English]

I hurt you without realizing it, and then I realized I was a fool.

Loved indiscriminately, feeling unfulfilled, wanting to end it all because I'm an idiot.

I can't do anything alone, not even clean; I feel like I have no worth, it's impossible.

Surrounded by fools, becoming a fool myself, feeling energized and dreaming.

Dream? I don't really want to see it; I truly hate it.

I want to do painful things, I want to feel good; that's my true feeling.

The cheers I receive, the insults that fly around, it's so loud it makes my ears rot; all of it becomes a trickle when I think of you.

The moment despair blurred, a white cloud full of discomfort, I rewrite it with blurred lights.

If you won't be colored by me, then let's just delete it all.

Even if tomorrow disappears due to a bug, I feel like I can manage somehow, I feel that way with you, right?

Ah, it's hard to breathe.

I can't go anywhere anymore.

It's hard to live, but I don't want to become a destroyer.

Ah, why?

Why didn't you become mine?

I felt like I could get back you and the things that matter.

I felt like I could even eat the stardust with you.

Hey, you know,

In the bathroom of a utopia,

I want to live and die while misunderstanding everything about you.

It becomes a trickle.

The moment despair blurred, a white cloud full of discomfort, I rewrite it with blurred lights.

If you won't be colored by me, then let's just delete it all.

Even if tomorrow disappears due to a bug, I feel like I can manage somehow, I feel that way with you, right?

If you can't color me, then let's just delete it all.

Even if tomorrow disappears due to a bug, I feel like I can manage somehow, I feel that way with you, right?

With you, right?

[Japanese]

無自覚的に傷つけて自覚した　バカだったってね

無差別的に愛されて満たされなくて自殺する　バカだから

1人じゃ何もできない掃除もできない生きてる価値ない無理になる

バカどもに囲まれてバカになって元気になって夢みてる

夢？ 別に見たくない　本当に嫌だ

痛々しいことしたい気持ちいいことしたい　それが僕の本音です

浴びる歓声　飛び交う罵声　耳腐るうるせぇ それも全部キミが浮かべば細流です

絶望が霞んだ瞬間　違和感ありまくりの白い雲　滲んだライトでリライトさせる

僕の色に染まらないならいっそのことデリートしちゃおう

バグって明日が消えたとしても　どうにかなりそうな気がするって　気がするって君となら ネ!

あぁ 息がしづらいや

もう何処にも行けないや

生きづらいや　でもデストロイヤー　には死んでもなりたくないや

あぁ なんで

君は僕のモノにならなかったのかな

君と大切なモノも取り戻せる気がしたんだ

君と星屑さえも食べれちゃいそうな気がしたんだ

ねえ　僕さ

ユートピアのバスルームで

君の全てを勘違いしながら生きて死にたいの

細流です

絶望が霞んだ瞬間　違和感ありまくりの白い雲　滲んだライトでリライトさせる

僕の色に染まらないならいっそのことデリートしちゃおう

バグって明日が消えたとしても　どうにかなりそうな気がするって　気がするって君となら ネ!

僕を染めれないならいっそのことデリートしちゃおう

バグッて明日が消えたとしても　どうにかなりそうな気がするって　気がするって君となら ネ!

君となら ネ!
