[English]

Make me sick, I have a feeling I’m going to dry up

Let me hear your voice, I’m gonna break down It’s not AYAKASHI is it?

Is it over already? Do you erase me? I become KATAMARI

Is it over already? Do you erase me? I turn into AYAKASHI

Don’t touch, don’t don’t touch, don’t touch, don’t touch me

You stripped it from me, right?

I touched you calling it “love”

My heart is filled, yeah you are the only one

Love Sick Love Sick Love Sick Hey I’m chasing

Love Sick Love Sick Love Sick Hey

Think hard about what you sacrificed to get what you want

Were you able to change? Did you dry up?

Naked disease that mourns in this fleeting world

no no no mo no no ke Sweet sickness

no no no oto do ke

I have a feeling I can’t be myself

Player, you looked lonely and left behind in the world

Dumping the sickness that tortures me

into the gaping hole of the muddy well

Let me embrace a new color

Love Sick Love Sick Love Sick World

Everything that’s been sacrificed is gasping for eternity

Was I able to change? Did I break down?

Leave me alone at the end of the end

The tears inside me began to dance and wet my pain blooming the flowers of sorrow

But do I suffer until I die? Will I be able to laugh someday? Will I be able to love?

no no no mo no no ke Am I Sick?

no no no oto do ke

Embracing what can’t be stripped away

Am I able to see you even if I’m about to break? Terribly sweet sickness
