Exchanging pleasantries
The sensible thing to do
A quick word, then we part
Disappear
 
Distance breeding seclusion
Ah, your virtuous solitude
Smile and embrace emptiness
Engulf it

Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
 
The difference is you and them
Let all behold your righteousness
Deceive for your desires
Burn in Hell
 
Invented justification
Revering revenge-lust like a god
Just can't get enough
Go crazy
 
Bear witness to auto dehumanization
The fruit of the suppressed melody ripens
Ideological infection
Philosophical pathology
A poetic display of moral regression
 
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
 
I like the way the sickly meat trickles down my throat
Does simply wanting it make me guilty...?
 
Withdrawn into a snail's shell
Proof of your blissful ignorance
Paranoia, happiness
Both the same
 
Listen and obey, children
Punishments for forbidden dangers
Questions, answers, and feelings
All evil
 
Bear witness to auto dehumanization
The fruit of the suppressed melody ripens
Ideological infection
Philosophical pathology
A poetic display of moral regression
 
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and forget
Pretend and...
Pretend...

愛の四つ自殺　(AI NO YOTTSU JISATSU)

Those unreachable words
Twisted and changing
Yes, this world passing me by
Those hypnotic colors
Hello
 
If I took even just the tiniest smile
No one would have to know
It could be just for me
And only me
 
Because I am alive
I must be real
 
Those unwordable thoughts
Waxing and waning
Yes, this seedling taking root
Those empty reflections
Hold on
 
My faltering breath
Along with my wavering resolve
Are proof of today
All at once blatant and indistinct
 
What is happening?
 
If I took even just the tiniest smile
I could forget it all
Only the murky wind
The melting warmth

If I could pretend that I were smiling now
No one would ever know
And I could finally disappear
My cracking heart
 
If I am alive
I should feel
Right?

[-Lurid-]

Today is sunny with gentle winds
Salty earth
Clear blue sky
Pleasant
A day just like any other
 
What was it again?
Surely, there was a reason here
But I see only the swaying grass and clouds
The shifting horizon and melting trees
 
I found myself by the lake again
Don't know how
Not sure why
Right now
I want to tear out the oyster's pearl
 
Couldn't bear to think it
Wouldn't dare believe it
 
Floating within the cool, green water
Motionless
Flickering
Spinning
It shrivels noiselessly out of sight
 
I smile and speak
But my words are carried away
Off into the meadow that seems too still
I watch my thoughts become swallowed away
 
Endlessly split again and again
An image
Fragmented
Complete
The layers of facts and fictions
 
Couldn't bear to want it
Wouldn't dare to leave it
 
Today is black with a chance of dreams
No flavors
No colors
No sounds
A day just like every other
