The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. 

The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

Item 10: The Necropolis of Animals

Hyena-Swine

青春って都市伝説と思う
だって誰も姿見たことないでしょ？

キラキラとかドキドキとか言うけど
ホントいえば時々邪魔になってる

諦めの雨にずぶ濡れて
伝う物は雨粒なのか涙なのか
わかんなくなっちゃうじゃん

かりそめの夢に引きずられ
ついた傷をわたしたち青春と呼ぶの
　
夕焼けで日焼けする恋愛虚弱体質
あなたと会えるのはガラス越しRGB

W（草）生やす荒野駆け抜けて
つけた足跡きっと青春と呼ぶの　
呼ぶぞ　HEY!

青春って都市伝説と思う
だって誰も姿見たことないでしょ？

Hand in Hand,
das dunkle Band, 
was ich mit dir fand,
verlorener Verstand!
Verstand …
Verstand …

Wir sind frei,
vergessen und vorbei,
dunkle Liebelei,
es ist vorbei!
Vorbei …

Ich bin eins mit dir,
komm mit mir,
komm zu mir, 
jetzt und hier!

Augen voller Licht,
Hände finden sich,
du machst mich glücklich,  
und auch sterblich!

Kein Wort mehr fand,
ich verschwand,
ein Tränenmeer,
schau mir hinterher,
ein Tränenmeer!
Ein Tränenmeer!
