[English]

Knock knock, gently on the door

Climb aboard, reclaim your heart once more

Daydreams flash, they’re all I see

Pulsing faster, where’s the answer meant to be?

Come on now, mute your doubts and fears

Don’t hesitate over trivial things, my dear

All these jokes, hahaha, is that all you bring?

Unbreakable walls will push for a kiss, I bet

Ah, I hate it

"That’s not how it is,"

Ah, I hate it

"You know that, right?"

Blow that mind away

I don’t wanna hold this endless love no more

Make me feel more unease, like you did before

Play peek-a-boo, that’s what I’m waiting for

Give me more, respond like you should

nanana

I’ll say it again, "It’s unfinished," you see

nanana

In this love that swings and misses, it’s just me

Tap tap, let’s call it even now

Stuck in moments that won’t fill somehow

Perfectionism’s smoky, it’s all a blur

Silent voices, dizzy, monotone blur

Knock knock! Let me go in and get the ace.

You'll paint your face with tears that don't feel the same.

Now Heart Reinforce's up to end this game.

You'd better give up and throw your MP5 away.

Ah, I hate it

Choose them both, can’t you see?

Ah, I hate it

Break them both, set yourself free

Pull out the roots of your heart, let it be

I don’t wanna love this unworthy love anymore

Make it hurt more, like you did before

Can’t even laugh, that’s what makes it fun, I’m sure

Melt me down, like you should

nanana

I’ll say it again, "It’s unfinished," you see

nanana

In this love that swings and misses, it’s just me

Ah, I hate it

"That’s not how it is,"

Ah, I hate it

"You know that, right?"

Blow that mind away

Blow it away

I don’t wanna hold this endless love no more

Make me feel more unease, like you did before

Play peek-a-boo, that’s what I’m waiting for

Give me more, respond like you should

nanana

I’ll say it again, "It’s unfinished," you see

[Japanese]

コンコン 優しくノックして

乗り込め ココロの奪還戦

妄想ばかりが フラッシュして

加速するパルス 答えはどこだろう

さあさあ弱音はミュートして

くだらないことで躊躇して

冗談ばかりね？あっはっは

壊せない壁が キスを迫るでしょう

嗚呼、厭

「そんなわけないや」

嗚呼、厭

「わかってくれるでしょ」

その頭を撃ち抜いて

終わんない愛を抱いていたくないの

もっとちゃんと不安にしてよ

いないいないばぁで演じて欲しいの

もっとちゃんと応えてよ

nanana

「未完成」だって何度でも言うんだ

nanana

NOを空振った愛の中で

トントン これで御相子って

埋まらない時に篭っちゃって

完全主義はスモーキーに

孤黙する声に目眩とモノトニー
