[English]

(Suddenly one day, the light just went out. People forgot how to speak kindly.)

My blocked vision ahead

Fills with fatigue

Tell me why I don’t lie

The cold wind blows

I feel the gaze

Running through my veins

All pain

Tied hands This numb feeling

Even if everyone throws stones at me

I can’t break free

I’m so bored

Who is this for? Someone tell me, please, tell me

Now, on the burning flame

Please, I don’t want to scream

Devil eyes come

I open my eyes

I open my eyes

Please, I don’t want to scream

(Scream scream scream scream)

Fading into the darkness, scream

Mask behind the trick Foolish freak

Hatred grown strong Targets in random chaos

Swallow the burning thirst But hypocrisy says it’s all my fault

Ending up on the brink, only regret remains, a choice on the edge

Sharp words like blades Hurt and penetrate

Even when they wound

Breath I can’t stop

I can’t understand at all

Who is this for? Someone tell me, please, tell me

Now, in the rising smoke

Please, I don’t want to scream

Devil eyes come

I open my eyes

I open my eyes

After everyone has gone

Open my eyes again

Traces that have disappeared

Can’t believe me

Don’t be sad No more no more no more

For me No more no more no more

Uh uh, forget everything you've seen

Believe that nothing happened

Little by little everyone is losing their mind, woo

I just wanna make you scream

(Devil eyes come)

Everyone, look at me, scream

(Scream scream scream scream)

I just wanna make you scream

(To be continued)

[Korean]

(어느 날 갑자기 빛이 들어오지 않았다. 사람들은 좋은 말을 하는 법을 잊었다.)

가려진 눈앞이

피로 물들여지네

Tell me why I don’t lie

차가운 바람은 불고

시선이 느껴져 와

혈관을 타고 흐르는

All pain

묶여진 두 손 저려오는 이 느낌

모두 내게 돌을 던져도

벗어나지 못해

하나도 난 재미없어

누구를 위해서인지 누가 좀 말해 줘 Tell me

타오르는 불길 위에 Now

Please I don’t want to scream

Devil eyes come

눈을 뜬다

눈을 뜬다

Please I don’t want to scream

(Scream scream scream scream)

어둠 속에 퍼져 Scream

가면 뒤의 Trick 가소로운 Freak

커진 증오가 낳은 무작위 속의 Target

타오른 갈증 삼켜도 위선은 다 내 탓이라 해

내몰린 끝은 절벽 위에 후회만 남을 선택이 돼

날카로운 칼날처럼 날이 선 말이

상처 되어 파고들어도

끊지 못하는 숨

하나도 난 알 수 없어

누구를 위해서인지 누가 좀 말해 줘 Tell me

피어오른 연기 속에 Now

Please I don’t want to scream

Devil eyes come

눈을 뜬다

눈을 뜬다

모두 떠난 후

다시 눈을 떠

사라져 버린 흔적

Can’t believe me

슬퍼하지 마라 No more no more no more

날 위해 No more no more no more

Uh uh 네가 본 모든 걸 잊어

아무 일 없었다 믿어

그렇게 하나 둘 모두가 미쳐 가 Woo

I just wanna make you scream

(Devil eyes come)

모두 나를 보고 Scream

(Scream scream scream scream)

I just wanna make you scream
