lyrics

醜女化粧

黒衣の羽音を背に
奥行と輪郭を取り戻す街を抜け出した
潰えた者たちが微笑み出し
奪わせた五感にこの胸この四肢
絡め取られるその前に

切り揃えられた奇跡から抜け落ちてなお
秀でることも劣ることもなくあり続けることを望むが
鏡の前に立ち足元にへばりつかせた溜息は
自らに呼吸する才も意欲もないことを告げていた

野暮な本音は裂け目に任せ
出まかせは見知らぬあなたに良しなに
苦渋に満ちた表情など白粉と駆け落ちさせてしまえばいい

遡行する振りをして
流れ込む常識の坩堝へ
無風に模られる波間
眼前に広がる体脂肪の海へ
寄る辺ない
されど投げ打つことはない

皆が願うもの
皆から願われること
どちらにもうんざりしているようだ

明日を寝台のそばに置かれ慣れたように零れ落ちる鱗粉
数多の視線に晒されるうち漏れ出た呻吟は無遠慮な勾配を生む
蠕動する街に注ぎ足されるただ一人には悪意に思える善意
その勳しに爪を立て呪縛を祝福とさせぬように

淡く濡れて落ちぶれた火の酒に見守られ
青白い部屋で覚醒を待つ
都合の良い手にだけ触れられてはいられない
ただ弛まぬ熱に溺れていたいだけ

優しくつぶさにここに居ること告げるなら
永遠にも似た灯に嫌気を

過去を寝台の底へ埋め爆ぜたように散りゆく純真
願わくはこの顔を濡羽色で塗りつぶせ
持たざる者の悲哀など知るものか
溶けてしまいたい魂が叫んでいる
花装束の香りを払い私は私を好まない私が

何も聞かず　何も見ず
何も感じず　なにも


Ugly Mask

Behind the flapping of a black dress,
I slipped out of a city which was taking back depth and contour.
Collapsed bodies break into a smile,
before my chest and these limbs are captured and bound by the five senses which the city snatches off…

Even though I fell off miracles which was cut to an even length, I wish to be neither superior or inferior.
However, standing in front of a mirror, a sigh that stuck to my feet told that it didn't have abilities and desires to breathe.

My true thoughtless feelings depends on a crack,
and my thoughtless behavior is to get along with you who are a stranger.
Let my face (expression) which filled with distress run off with white powder.

I pretend to go against a stream,
but head toward melting pot of common sense
and then toward waves modeled windlessly.
That is the sea of body fat spreading before my eyes.
There is nothing to depend on.
However, I can't throw myself away.
The things everybody wishes
and wishing by everybody,
I seem to be tired of both.

The scales which spill down as if they were used to that tomorrow was laid near the bed.
Moaning leaked out during exposure to many eyes produces thoughtless steep.
For the only one who is added to the writhing city, this is just goodwill considered as ill will.
Don't be against the achievement to turn a spell into a blessing.

I am watched over by firing liquors that got wet faintly and is vanishing, and waiting for 'awakening' in a pale chamber.
I can't stand to be touched only by convenient hands.
I just want to drown in persistent heat.

If you gently and carefully told that I would be here, give hatred to a light like eternity.

Purity which buries the past beneath the bed and is scattering over like a burst.
(I wish) Paint out this face with shiny black.
I don't care about sorrow of the non-gifted.
My soul is crying out "I am craving to melt away."
I brush off the fragrance of a flower garment, and I, who don't like myself...

I don't hear, see and feel anything. Anything...
