[Lyric]

I couldn’t breathe because of the pride I couldn’t let go of
and so, in secret, I let Veronica wither away
The night grows late

I slipped on the path of an unfulfilled life
and fell from an abandoned building to the ground
I had a dream like that

Ah, if I were to become a corpse, you’d all be accomplices—
I’m wallowing in that delusion again today

Dressed up in distorted makeup
and now, I’ll dance with my inferiority complex
Hey, you’ve mocked me endlessly as a fake
So what are your words, then?

That girl is crying in front of the TV screen, not even knowing what a mummy is
But she leaves her clasped hands untouched
I’m sure there’s no love there at all

Boys and girls, completely defenseless, blurting out words after vague revisions—just like fish sleeping on a cutting board
“Oh, that sounded like you were making fun of her, didn't it?”
“Poor thing” “Poor thing, yeah”
(It doesn't really have anything to do with me, though...)

I scratched my white hands with a knife and drank the blood
Happiness I obtained only after going through such pain—
It’s far too little for me to live on

We wander through Wonderland
clinging to our rusty days
Don’t say I have no talent—
This is all I have left

Ah, if I want to breathe, my heart has known the right answer for a long time now

I jumped onto the last train
and the whistle blared
Hey, Tokyo, show me too—
give me that sad, mocking smile

I’ve stripped away my distorted makeup
and now, the curtain call awaits
Ah, in the final episode, I finally
became an entertainer

See ya!
