[English]
Looking around, left and right
Lurking about, looking for
A place to leech off of
Begging here and there
Chattering away excitedly
Empty vessels make the most noise
Greed knows no bounds
But effort is always mediocre
So shallow
So incredibly shallow
That before it even
Reaches me, it vanishes
I can concede a hundred or a thousand times, I can even understand
But if you're asking me to join you, I'll pass
Doing things half-heartedly in your spare time
After you've finished playing around, it just doesn't suit my taste
It's not really my flavor
Your Recipe
A sleeping pill called oblivion
A stimulant called greed
In that hollow head of yours
Delusions start to bloom
You want to hold the knife
But with your empty hands
You just hack everything to pieces
You feel better only when you ruin things
So thin
So incredibly thin
That even playing along
Is no fun at all
Jealousy,
hate, envy,
bad memories...
A spoonful of fantasy mixed into a colorless, odorless life
A Recipe like you, always a cup left half empty
Layers upon layers of shamelessness
The fear hidden deep inside
Blood on the lips that spat out a piercing, discordant melody
A bookmark trying to squeeze into everything
the story's never yours
The enemy in the mirror that's been scratching and tormenting you your whole life
Instead, you'll just smash the screens
With blood-stained fists
The world is submerged in midnight rain, fearing to face it alone
You find it fun to struggle and flail
cause you don't give a
you don't give a
f*ck
Please just disappear
You're wasting the very air
Before you put on that sophisticated act
Please, go wipe your mouth first
Does the grass always look greener on the other side?
Can't you see the effort behind it?
You've been a free rider your whole life
So what could you possibly know?
But every choice comes with a price
So shut your damn mouth
Even if your head is empty
Your tongue flickers like a snake
Before you make those pathetic excuses
Just moisten those lips a bit
You, who live off the hard work of others
How much could you possibly know?
If you're going to try and use a knife
At least clean the cutting board first
You lack even the basics
What's the point of telling you?
It only makes me tired
It's just a waste of my breath
It's just a waste of my time
