[English]

Sensation feels so real this time it's true

No more fear the debating is over!

No more words, no more words for you

No more tears, the waiting is over

I can't be there 'cause I run out of energy

If you could only see

Trying my best to convince you that

I don't mind

There's nowhere to run

Reason is calling

No more pretending

This time it's coming the end

Coming the end

...

I've been given too much warnings

And I bled without control

Word's often cruel we're listening no more

I can't be there 'cause I run out of energy

If you could only see

Trying my best to convince you that

I don't mind

There's nowhere to run

Reason is calling

No more pretending

My time is coming and now

Trying to remember

If there's a "when" or if there is a "why"

Maybe you should try to remember

Maybe I should try, just give it a try, c'mon!

...

...nowhere to run

Reason is calling

No more pretending

This time, this time it comes to an end

A time is coming

Reason is calling me

No more pretending

This time it's coming the end

...
