[English]

Knock, knock, gently knock.

Board the battle to reclaim your heart.

My endless fantasies keep flashing.

Accelerating pulses—where is the answer?

Come on, mute the whining.

Hesitate over trivial things.

Just jokes? Ha ha ha.

An unbreakable wall will demand a kiss.

Ah, how tiresome.

There's no way that's true.

Ah, how tiresome.

You understand, right?

Shoot through that head.

I don’t want to keep holding endless love.

Make me properly anxious.

I want you to act like “peek‑a‑boo.”

Give me a proper response.

nanana

Even if it’s “unfinished,” I’ll say it over and over.

nanana

In a love that missed a “NO.”

Tap tap, that’s what we call “Osako.”

When it won’t fill, I hide away.

Perfectionism turns smoky.

A silent voice brings dizziness and monotony.

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, how tiresome.

Choose either one.

Ah, how tiresome.

Break both.

Pull out the roots of the heart.

I don’t want to love this pathetic love.

Make it properly painful.

Not being able to laugh is probably fun.

Melt it properly.

nanana

Even if it’s “unfinished,” I’ll say it over and over.

In a love that missed a “NO.”

Ah, how tiresome.

Shoot through it.

Make me properly anxious.

I want you to act like “peek‑a‑boo.”

[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
