I can't stand it (x8)
What a tragedy it is to be doomed to death at birth

I can't stand it (x6)

Once you draw your last remaining breath
Even memories you have clung to
Will scatter into ash

As I realize what a curse a beating heart is
The mourners gather to laugh
At a hollow coffin

Those cries too will ultimately melt into the past
The flowers of the darkroom alone are dragged along
I can't stand it
What a tragedy it is to be doomed to death at birth

Hold on to every breath so that life
Remains as it is, shining in silver
May this unending reverie
Last forevermore

I don't want to fade away, please don't fade away
That alone is all for which I prayed
My final, final happiness
I won't let a soul, not one soul, snatch it away
I won't let go

I can't stand it (x6)

Which world, I wonder, is the one made by man?
As I averted my gaze, the reaper tamed me
Back when I glorified the flickering flame
As the fraxinus continue to weep
I recall the way it all must end

How many days remain until morning arrives?
How many minutes remain until my quota is met?
How many seconds remain until my heart is sated?

I'm so afraid
That day may rot away before I even arrive

Hold on to every breath so that life
Remains as it is, shining in silver
May these soothing hymns
Resound forevermore

If someday this sorrow should leave us
I shall hope and pray until then
It's nothing more, nothing more than a pittance
This final, final wish of mine

I wished for those days to remain idyllic
I wished for the power to protect them
I wished for those nights to stay tranquil and calm
I wished for the power to protect them
I wished for those days to remain idyllic
I wished for the power to protect them
I wished for those nights to stay tranquil and calm
I wished for the power to protect them
I wished for those days to remain idyllic
I wished for the power to protect them
Even if it costs me everything I have

Hold on to every breath so that life
Remains as it is, shining in silver
May this unending reverie
Last forevermore

I don't want to fade away, please don't fade away
That alone is all for which I prayed
My final, final happiness
If despite it all, despite it all, you dare interfere
I'll make you pay

I can't stand it (x6)

I'll make you pay

It all comes crashing down
Without a single sound
Vanishing in cold blood
Leaving nothing behind
And when I think back on it
I just feel like a total fool
For ever giving my love to you

Out of the blue, I chanced upon you
Your dazzling voice drawing me in
Into my colorless world you descended
Oh, those irreplaceable days

See, the day will come where these words of mine
Will no longer reach you either
But even with those thoughts in mind
I felt no fear whatsoever
So enduring was that radiant shine

It all comes crashing down
Without a single sound
Vanishing in cold blood
Leaving nothing behind
And when I think back on it
I just feel like a total fool
For ever giving my love to you

I won't ask anything of anyone
Through this idle march of time
Will the day come where the color fades
In this unwittingly silenced heart of mine?

If you're not able to show me the light
Then don't give me anything at all
If the things I come to trust in
Can start to crumble so easily
Then I won't let anyone in anymore

Just like the pasque flowers
That continue to bloom
Among the colorful blossoms and foliage

I'll live my life in total tranquility
So that no one can ever hurt me anymore

It all comes crashing down
Without a single sound
Vanishing in cold blood
Leaving nothing behind
And when I think back on it
I just feel like a total fool
For ever giving my love to you
And yet despite it all
Somewhere deep inside my head
Somewhere deep inside my heart
I keep on crying out. But see, though these feelings
Shown only through tears
They aren't out of sorrow
I just want you to take these words to heart

I just feel like a total fool

Borrowed satisfaction
Set it free, let your charms out
Everything you touch is filled with aspiration
Grant this clever trick-star the hope of rebirth
I wanna tell my past self,
"Hey, dear boy
I know you can reach the stars, real boy
I know you're someone special"

Snatch up a pinch of envy
As a substitute for self-love
My signature ingredient from here on out

The pain is only temporary
Even if you think it's reckless
Your body will get used to it

Most things are no problem at all!
That's right, so let's keep dancing as we are
All these pieces of power we've joined forces with
I'll draw you in and guide you to them
So c'mon, take a look

Borrowed satisfaction
Set it free, let your charms out
Everything you touch is filled with aspiration
Grant this clever trick-star the hope of rebirth
I wanna tell my past self,
"Hey, dear boy
I know you can reach the stars, real boy
I know you're someone special"

"I know you're someone special"

Counting down the days in waiting
In the meantime, just keep going
Leave it a dream for now--so far so good

With or without you
The universe exists for its own sake
In all of its abundant wonder

I know nothing's changed one bit
We're unshakable professionals at deflection
The fraud on the other side keeps growing rich in wit
Even if we went back, it's still all the same
So c'mon, take a look

Borrowed satisfaction
What an ingenious world
Bet it comes from being so superficial
In the end, we all get the short end of the stick
So I've added to the epilogue,
"Hey, dear boy
You could've reached the stars, real boy
I want to believe you're special"

Time and time again, we lose sight of ourselves
Until we've circled right back around
Maybe our promises were too shaky
There's just no way to find out

Borrowed satisfaction
Set it free, let your charms out
Everything you touch is filled with aspiration
Grant this clever trick-star the hope of rebirth
I wanna tell my past self,
"Hey, dear boy
I know you can reach the stars, real boy
I know you're someone special
Oh, dear boy
Be free, let your charms out
Oh, real boy
I know you're someone special"

"I know you're someone special"

Say you love me! Say you love me! C'mon! Give me even more!
Get stained! Get stained! Sate this greedy heart of mine
The words "I love you" alone can't tie me down
Embrace me tight
Embrace me tight
Embrace me tight with your genuine love...

Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief
Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief

Ravenous swelling emotions
Desperately seeking love, love
Dismay and disgust for birthdays
Impatient awareness of my self-styled "prime"
No thoughts for profits and losses
Raise your freak flag higher, love, love
Tidy, conservative, humble?
Oh, please! I nearly trashed it all

See, look! I'll chase after my bliss now
Oh, the pain★the pain. My stomach pangs

Say you love me! Say you love me! C'mon! Give me even more!
Get stained! Get stained! Sate this greedy heart of mine
The words "I love you" alone can't tie me down
Embrace me tight with your genuine love...
This, right here, is how I truly am!

Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief
Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief

See, look! I'll keep pursuing my paradise now
Oh, the pain★pain. Damage: High

Say you love me! Say you love me! C'mon! Give me every bit you can!
Touch me! Touch me! Fill the void in this heart of mine
The words "I love you" alone can't satisfy me
Embrace me tight with your genuine love...

Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief
Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief

Say you love me! Say you love me! C'mon! Give me even more!
Get stained! Get stained! Fill the depths of this heart of mine
The words "I love you" alone aren't enough to reach me
Embrace me tight with your genuine love...
This, right here, is how I truly am!

Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief
Outside my head, true love, love
Inside my head, through with grief, grief

I'm not the one who gets to decide if I'm rewarded or if I perish.

I'm not the one

It sinks inside.
It sinks inside, the failure I am facing.

It's open wide.
"It's open wide," or so I am mistaken

I've lost my mind.
I've lost my mind. My shame is nonexistent.

I'm in a bind.
My body craves some form of retribution.

No matter how much I focus, nothing comes of it. Nothing comes of it.
No matter how I regret the answer I don't want to find
I've already reached the conclusion.

No matter what, I want to say
That I'm here in this place, and yet I am not.
I wish I could choose just one.
After all, I already have nothing left.

My grief is my desire. Flip it around, there's still no right side.
This place is the worst. There is no salvation.
I'm not the one who gets to decide if I'm rewarded or if I perish.

Suddenly, the futures that should've shone brightly are ground away.
Here and now, forms that should have been mundane are sheared away.

There's no way this could truly be happening. There's no excuse for it.
And yet the turmoil still remains. Even though there's no one to be blamed.

At this point, my dreams and reality have switched places, switched places.
My hesitations grew vague so long ago, they're no longer fathomable.

"Why am I unable to understand?
I am both here in this place, and yet I am not."
They both mean the same to me.
I can't bear it any longer.

Where does it all start and end?
The act of being humane? Of being alive?
There's not a single thing here that's definite.
I'm not the one who gets to decide if it's a punishment, penance, or paradox.

Farewell
Farewell

No matter what, I want to say
That I'm here in this place, and yet I am not.
I wish I could choose just one.
After all, I already have nothing left.

My grief is my desire. Flip it around, there's still no right side.
This place is the worst. There is no salvation.
Will I be rewarded or will I perish? I'm not the one who gets to decide.

I'm not the one who gets to decide if I'm rewarded or if I perish.

I'm not the one (x4)

Kurapika Singing - Designed Desires (Remix)

Even so, I want to stay here by your side
This melody that I'm playing out is calling you

My inner voice is merely drifting through the air
I'm merely drunk off the misfortune we equally share
There's nothing but absolute exhaustion every day
I'm simply clinging on

I knew it was all just an empty dream
Though it may come apart at the seams any second
This fairy tale world is the only place I belong
So I can't remember the me of yesterday

From the very first words we exchanged
To the fleeting moments you teased me for my smile
Every single one was a mistake
Even so, I want to stay here by your side
This melody that I'm playing out is calling you
"Seek out your beautiful ending," they say
Even though it can't come true in this world

My inner voice intercepts my brain
Berating me as I shamelessly beg for my life
And then, without any cares left to give, every day
Simply falls into stagnation

One by one, the seasons cruelly pass by on their own
Oh, please don't tell me the answer that lies ahead
I already know the future you desire
Is one that I cannot bring color to

My heart is moments away from bursting
That is my sole penance, my only indulgence
My divine punishment for all that I've done
I don't want to lose you
This melody that I'm playing out is calling you
"Forget those abominable regrets," they say
Even though it's an impossible wish
This world cannot grant

W-W-Wicked sources
I-I-If I were to
I-I-It should be

The beat drops--it's our radicalism

"A proposition for all mankind.
Regarding this world galvanized
By the successful reformation of the citizenry.
Now tell me, what exactly is happiness?
Why, the hope that we've been striving for!
May you be free of your melancholy, one and all."

Lead the way to the answer. Go and carve out a path
Whose sake is this palette here for?
Take your wings to the wind and soar
Sing the praises of whatever,
folded palms in doubtful prayer (Eternally)
Ready? (Say yeah!) Come along and clap your hands

W-W-Wicked sources of misinformation
I-I-If I were to expose them here
I-I-It should be a simple thing to do
I'm sure even you'd understand

Nowhere can you find anything that matters more than words
The world is an ensemble cast and God directs the show
Come let your thoughts intoxicate and pull you in the flow
Being in a dream with no end is like Shangri-La
Take my hand, make some noise
Oh, what a wonderful world this is!
The beat drops--it's our radicalism

W-W-Wicked sources
I-I-If I were to
I-I-It should be

The beat drops--it's our radicalism

"A warning to all mankind.
Regarding the state of chaos incited.
By the insurrection of the ignorant masses
I wonder, which answer is the correct one?
Why, the one in line with our ideals!
May you be free of any misgivings, one and all."

Pesky, pathos-laden arguments
Abolished from the fools who spoke them
Absolute agitation
Brainwashed with a flutter from your body to your mind
No matter what you do, there's no way to stop it from spreading
Turn your moralities into casualties
Ready? (Say yeah!) Come along and clap your hands

W-W-With the boldfaced, bright-red news reports
D-D-D-Dance in biased braggadocio
I-I-It is such a simple thing. Or at least it is in your head

Nowhere can you find anything that matters more than words
This world is like a topsy-turvy puppet show
Come let your thoughts intoxicate and pull you in the flow
Being in a dream with no end is like Shangri-La
Take my hand, make some noise
Oh, what a wonderful world this is!
The beat drops--it's our nationalism

W-W-Wicked sources
I-I-If I were to
I-I-It should be

The beat drops--it's our radicalism

W-W-With the boldfaced, bright-red news reports
D-D-D-dance in biased braggadocio
I-I-It is such a simple thing. Or at least it is in your head

Nowhere can you find anything that matters more than words

Come let your thoughts intoxicate and pull you in the flow
Being in a dream with no end is like Shangri-La
Take my hand, make some noise
Oh, what a wonderful world this is!
The beat drops--dance along with it!

A proposal for all mankind: The world is broken
How would you like for my reformations to mend it?
You're better off falling for a beautiful lie

Garden of Eden (x4)

Every person has their own form of happiness
"Forms of happiness! Forms of desire!"
I'm aware that mine isn't beautiful in the least
"Distorted emotions! Distorted wishes!"
Yet still, it most certainly did exist
"Can it be!? Can it truly be!?"

A distorted form of happiness
Only one thing was lost
But to me, on xxxx/xx/xx (that day)--

"Everything, everything was taken away!"

We just don't align, we just don't align
No matter how many times I fantasize about the past
No matter where I try to start things over
We're hopelessly misaligned

"I couldn't meet my last moments with you!"
I couldn't do anything as I saw you off
I can't forgive that coward or this world

Oh, God. If you're truly out there
Please remake this world
So xxxx/xx/xx (that day) never comes for all eternity

Garden of Eden

"Forms of happiness! Forms of desire!"
"Distorted emotions! Distorted wishes!"
"Forms of happiness! Forms of desire!"
"Can it be!? Can it truly be!?"
"Forms of happiness! Forms of desire!"
"Distorted emotions! Distorted wishes!"
"Forms of happiness! Forms of desire!"

Does a world without you, without your voice
Truly have any value at all?

Injustice! Indisposition! Ineffectivity!
Ingratitude! Imperfection! Instability!
Nightmares! Demons! Indolence!
Inertia! Ignorance! Insignificance!
Decapitation.

A world without the distorted shape of you
What was lost was far too great
To me, on xxxx/xx/xx (that day)--

"The light! I lost the light!"

We just don't align, we just don't align
No matter how many times I fantasize about the past
No matter how many times I repeat my words
I am unable to sway your heart

"Why must the world you see in your last moments be so--!?"
Leaving only the empty shell I've become behind
The fleeting light is snuffed out

Oh, God. If you're truly out there
Please shut me away till the end of the world
So xxxx/xx/xx (that day) never comes for all eternity

For every memory shared together
The sounds of song accumulate
These lingering feelings hold a trace of warmth--
But I'm sure I'll still end up forgetting them someday

We just don't align, we just don't align
No matter how many times I fantasize about the past
No matter where I try to start things over
We're hopelessly misaligned

"I couldn't meet my last moments with you!"
I couldn't do anything as I saw you off
I can't forgive that coward or this world

Aaah!!!!!!!!!!!
I will shout!!! This wish of mine out!!! As much as it takes!!!

Please remake this world
Into a Garden of Eden for you and me
So xxxx/xx/xx (that day) never comes for all eternity

Garden of Eden (x2)

"God above, let us nestle close in this inverted world"
Shove out your overturned prayers and sing!
Luck and karma, oh please don't tear the regrets away
So that our discordant hallelujahs don't blow out and away!

Welcome to the new XXX. (x8)

"Wave yesterdays full of regret all bye-bye"
Societal horror, the eve of death's door.
It's torn away--the mystifying universe!

New world creation beyond imagination. Now,
I shall grant you a fruit most superior.
Come forth and speak your wish

"With open-access features, sell and buy-buy"
A honeying tale... Forget that detail
Get blown into the mist of immortality

Rapturous congestion? Murmuring delusion? Nay,
I shall give to you the life you prefer.
You'll never want to return

Welcome to the new XXX. (x12)

"God above, let us nestle close in this inverted world"
Shove out your overturned prayers and sing!
Luck and karma, oh please don't tear the regrets away
So that our discordant hallelujahs don't blow out and away!

Now yesterday's disgraces exist no longer
No fear to be held, nor pain to be felt
This new world feels as if it's flagged as a bluff
A past so strident... A bright, shiny present. Now,
Let us throw out the noise of the lawless mob
and bask in the pleasure

Welcome to the new XXX. (x7)

God above, don't expose the budding lie that they prefer
Cling onto your overturned prayers and sing!
Let us forget about all the scars that make it hard to live
So that our breathtaking messiah doesn't flicker away!

What should I have believed in?
Who should I have confided in?
The inedible fruit was artificial, an innocent facade
The regret over discarding regrets points toward the keyhole

God above, be the light of this dearly departed world
Watch from above the grief over this whole deception and laugh!
"Don't just prattle about such things as having love and faith"
Our discordant hallelujahs begin to blow us away

"God above, let us nestle close in this inverted world"
Shove out your overturned prayers and sing!
Luck and karma, oh please don't tear the regrets away
So our concordant hallelujahs don't blow us open for all to see

Come on, you can fight
Come on, you can fight
The stage where you all dance
Come on, you can fight
Come on, you can fight
The way the dust dances

Scatter!

A parade of forced emotional expression
It's the "me" of today as well
Everybody, hold hands together
Let's resist against fighting, ha!

It makes me laugh,
this is just the dust of the universe
The small particles dance
the way the dust dances.

Scatter! Vanish! Until you no longer can be seen!
Come on, you can fight now!
The stage where you all dance
is mine...

The hearts of marionettes
Your thoughts stay the same
You can't hold back that desire
Entertain me!

If it's a never-ending dream,
then let's just destroy everything!
That shitty world is not needed.
This is my dream!

This is my dream!

Come on, you can fight
Come on, you can fight
The stage where you all dance
Come on, you can fight
Come on, you can fight
The way the dust dances

Scatter!

Hey, show me the usual thing
That beautiful bond of yours,
It disgusts me because it's so meaningless and
I can teach you all!

Come! Dance as much as you want
In the palm of my hand!
On this great stage,
everyone will be deprived of their heart.

Come! The life of the world is running out
Before that time comes,
In the corner of this universe,
watch the tragedy happen.
