Lost One's Scream of Mourning

Music/Lyrics: Neru

Music: Tomodachi Boshuu P

Vocal: Kagamine Rin

A few centimeters of distrust

Lead to stabbing my veins in the end

Fragile love bursts out

Turning even a Les Paul into a weapon

No fiction

I like math and science

But Japanese was just no good, I hated it

Worrying over what's right

They all turned out to be wrong

Today's homework is

About my lack of individuality

Living without excess or deficiency

So why is it that sometimes, no, every day

We say we're sad

We say we're lonely

Can you read this kanji on the blackboard?

Can you read the impressions on that child's mind?

What darkened their heart?

Who the hell is it?

Hey, who are you?

Can you solve this problem with an abacus?

Can you untie that child's neck ring?

Are we okay staying like this?

What do we do now?

Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore

もうどうだっていいや

No matter how much time passes

We’re drunken on careless hypnosis

With a pride that’s beyond saving

We've been hiding it all along

Yesterday’s homework is

Still unsolvable

Living without excess or deficiency

Why is it that our chests

Say they want to disappear?

Say they want to die?

Can you read this kanji on the blackboard?

死にたいって言うんだ

Can you read the impressions on that child's mind?

What darkened their heart?

Who the hell is it?

Hey, who are you?

Can you solve this problem with an abacus?

Can you untie that child's neck ring?

Are we okay staying like this?

What do we do now?

Can you tell me the area ratio formula?

Can you say your childhood dreams?

And the dreams you threw into the ditch?

Who the hell is it?

You already know, right?

When will you become an adult?

What is an adult, after all?

Who should I ask about that?

When can I truly grow up?

What even is an adult, really?

Who do I ask?

Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore

[Japanese]

「ロストワンの号哭」

曲/詞：Neru

音：友達募集P

唄：鏡音リン

刃渡り数センチの不信感が

挙げ句の果て静脈を刺しちゃって

病弱な愛が飛び出すもんで

レスポールさえも凶器に変えてしまいました

ノーフィクション

数学と理科は好きですが

国語がどうもダメで嫌いでした

正しいのがどれか悩んでいりゃ

どれも不正解というオチでした

本日の宿題は

無個性な僕のこと

過不足無い　不自由無い　最近に生きていて

でもどうして　僕達は

時々に　いや毎日

悲しいって言うんだ

淋しいって言うんだ

黒板のこの漢字が読めますか

あの子の心象は読めますか

その心を黒く染めたのは

おい誰なんだよ

おい誰なんだよ

そろばんでこの式が解けますか

あの子の首の輪も解けますか

僕達このまんまでいいんですか

おいどうすんだよ

もうどうだっていいや

いつまで経ったって僕達は

ぞんざいな催眠に酔っていて

どうしようもない位の驕傲を

ずっと

匿っていたんだ

昨日の　宿題は

相変わらず　解けないや

過不足無い　不自由無い　最近に生きていて

でもどうして　僕達の

胸元の　塊は

消えたいって言うんだ

死にたいって言うんだ

黒板のこの漢字が読めますか

あの子の心象は読めますか

その心を黒く染めたのは

おい誰なんだよ

おい誰なんだよ

そろばんでこの式が解けますか

あの子の首の輪も解けますか

僕達このまんまでいいんですか

おいどうすんだよ

おいどうすんだよ

面積比の公式言えますか

子供の時の夢は言えますか

その夢すら溝に捨てたのは

おい誰なんだよ

もう知ってんだろ

いつになりゃ大人になれますか

そもそも大人とは一体全体何ですか

どなたに伺えばいいんですか

おいどうすんだよ

もうどうだっていいや
