[English]

The cold voices I don't wanna listen anymore

Even if I close my ears

It's no use, the staring eyes are blocking my way

Smash it all

The source that locked me in darkness and harassed me

I try to get out but there's no way out until I find the exit

Pretending it's for me

The voices disregard my dream

I don't want to get hurt anymore

I close my ears and walk my way

Now they've been going around

They're lingering in my mind

And making me dizzy

Go away hey

Against the voices harassing me

I cry out again

Step out of them voices

With my ears closed Let me shout again

Step out of them voices

Break free from the voices in my head

Lingering in my ears

Can't hear my voices

I can hear the sounds

I feel frustrated with everything

To the sounds I can hear to the end, I close my ears

Stop the judgmental sound about me

I just get annoyed as if they're the noise between floors

At some point, I started to hear these nagging sounds only

Now it's noisy

I don't wanna hear no more

ncorrigible rubbish

I'm never fooled by your story uh

Even if you shamelessly say the things I'm not even curious about

I keep yawning every time

Why are you keep talking? Speakers

You tone up and raise your voice again

I don't care anymore Don't care no more

That's enough, leave me alone

Now they've been going around

They're lingering in my mind

And making me feel dizzy Go away hey

Against the voices harassing me

I cry out again

Step out of them voices

With my ears closed Let me shout again

Step out of them voices

Break free from the voices in my head

Lingering in my ears

Can't hear my voices

I can hear the sounds

I feel frustrated with everything

To the sounds I can hear to the end, I close my ears

No more, No more

Don't try to change me

No voice, No voice

Don't make me dizzy anymore

Hey, cut the useless thoughts

Do everything as you like

Hey, don't get fooled You know they're wrong

Please do it your way

Please stop now

I'll take it easy

Cause I don't have to care everything

There's so many voices

Step out of them voices

Step out of them voices

There's so many voices
