I understood in my head and lamented, laughing at the way it rolls
I don't understand loneliness or love
I threw away the shape of a human
I can't bear this proof of existence filled with words
I can't get out of this small theater
Before I knew it, I wanted to run away at the end
We were all acting
Heading towards the end credits
Come on, everyone is desperately playing their roles, there are no bystanders
There is no "me"
I'm nowhere to be found
All this time, I couldn't become anyone
Now we are, come on, devouring each other
In extra time, surrendering
Mayday, faint affection
Flowing out, the love and hate of words
You must be expecting some dramatic development somewhere
You too, yes yes, holding your breath
The command is right there
Headshot, even the noisy feelings
Pierce that heart, come on
Pulling the unseen thread, the mastermind makes an appearance
What reflects in those eyes
If touched, it would break
Silently watching the way it goes wrong
We were all innocent
Before I knew it, I became a monster
Can't I move forward unless I affirm all of this?
“Well, it’s probably impossible for you”
“So it’s definitely impossible for you”
Before I knew it, I was in the stands
I’ve been throwing around such noise
Everyone is desperately protecting themselves, waiting for a helping hand
I don’t want to think about it
I just want to be foolish
All this time, I couldn't become anyone
So now, standing on the front lines
That flag is flying high
In a disadvantage, relying on my partner
Words aren't even necessary
The dramatic development will probably heat up
You too, yes yes, holding your breath
Swearing to meet again
I only have one chance
I’m betting on this moment
Like a climax, my hands are sweating
I let out a small sound
The hidden truth is nowhere to be found
Those who laughed at me have no place
I remember and throw away, there are no emotions
The tears I shed have no reason
I can't even feel warmth in kindness
There’s only doubt in the hand I reached out
Love has dripped away through the holes
You peered into me, about to fall
In front of someone who was about to give up, you always appear to mock
How do you see me?
Regulate your breathing, come on
呼吸を整えて さあ
Come on
All this time, I couldn't become anyone
Now we are, come on, devouring each other
In extra time, surrendering
Mayday, faint affection
Flowing out, the love and hate of words
You must be expecting some dramatic development somewhere
You too, yes yes, holding your breath
The command is right there
Headshot, even the noisy feelings
Pierce that heart, come on
Pulling the unseen thread, the mastermind makes an appearance
“What reflects in those eyes”
