[English]

Let’s go

Relax everyone, stop pretending to be normal

All of your smiles look weird

When the Lock is released, we’re all the same

Your eyes can't fool me, ho

The real self has been released

Barely holding on

After blinking once, back

Again, back to cosplaying as what society defines normal to be ppow

Mash up, mind blown put my mind on back up

Prototype, on the inside I’m always a freaky monster

Kindness is no longer trending, now rotten

You can backbite me as much as you want, I'll ignore them anyway

Poppin’

If you think I'm just pure and innocent, you're wrong

When a favor continues, people think it’s their right, toxic

This is what drives me crazy, warning

MANIAC

Going crazy, like I have a loose screw MANIAC

Spinning, going crazy

MANIAC Walk like Frankenstein

MANIAC MANIAC Haha

MANIAC (Oh)

Laugh like I have a loose screw MANIAC (You can’t stop the smoke)

Spinning, going crazy (Thick as fog)

MANIAC a MANIAC group (We’re MANIACS)

MANIAC MANIAC

Like the seam of a torn doll

Eventually, you’ll expose your real self

In this not easy life

It ain't "live" it's "holding on" yeah

Relax everyone, stop pretending to be normal

All of your smiles no fresh

When the Locket is open, we’re all the same

Your eyes can't fool me, ho

This street I'm walking on is a minefield

Like a dormant volcano, never know when it'll all explode

Never know when the calm winds will change

Everyone lives hiding themselves like a sealed tornado

Poppin’

If you think I'm just pure and innocent, you're wrong

When a favor continues, people think it’s their right, toxic

This is what drives me crazy, warning

MANIAC

Going crazy, like I have a loose screw MANIAC

Spinning, going crazy

MANIAC Walk like Frankenstein

MANIAC MANIAC Haha

MANIAC (Oh)

Laugh like I have a loose screw MANIAC (You can’t stop the smoke)

Spinning, going crazy (Thick as fog)

MANIAC a MANIAC group (We’re MANIACS)

MANIAC MANIAC

Eyes filled with lunatic

All senses are tense

Locked up while wrapped up in that pretty package

As time goes by, it'll eventually be revealed

The inner self that was hidden yeah

MANIAC

MANIAC (MANIAC)

MANIAC

MANIAC MANIAC

You cannot stop with this feeling

MANIAC (Oh)

Laugh like I have a loose screw MANIAC (You can’t stop the smoke)

Spinning, going crazy (Thick as fog)

MANIAC a MANIAC group (We’re MANIACS)
