[English]

I'm hear a knock on the door 激しく迫る

失いかけた意識の中で お前が囁く

追い詰められた心溶かす 鈍色の肖像

切り刻まれた記憶を写し出す

...

咲き乱れた hatefull black heart 心にせまる

研ぎ澄まされた transient feeling 人混みの中

ヒステリックにざわめく風に 止まらない涙を

胸に抱き締め孤独を彩る

I've nothing to lose (love me till the end) except your heart

I've nothing to lose (love me till the end) except your heart

手首を流れる血を お前の体に

絡み付けると一瞬のうちに 甦る記憶に視界を

閉ざされ 笑いながら逃げて行く お前の姿を

見つめる 傷付いた俺が立ってる

Week end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end

...

I've nothing to lose (love me till the end) except your heart

I've nothing to lose (love me till the end) except your heart

...

I hear a knock on the door 激しく迫る

失いかけた意識の中で お前が囁く

冷たい指先伸ばし 傷口に口づけ

赤く染まった 狂気を抱き締める

鏡を見つめながら 震える体に

流れ始めた透き通る血を

青白いお前の心に 絡ませ

幻覚に消えて行く 最後の涙を

拾い集めて 血の海にまどろむ

Week end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, I still love you

Week end, but I cannot carry on

手首を流れる血を お前の体に

絡み付けると一瞬のように 込み上げる記憶に視界を

閉ざされ 笑いながら逃げて行く お前の姿を

見つめる 傷付いた俺が立ってる

Week end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end

Week end, Week end, Week end

I'm at my wits end
