1.Trying to fit into glass shoes that never quite fit
2.I shaved down my heels, convincing myself they suited me
3.But with feet covered in wounds
4.I can’t dance—I can’t dance anymore5.
6.Might as well sleep so I never wake
7.Even biting into the poisoned apple, I couldn’t swallow it
8.I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t see the future—
9.So no one else would see it either10.
11.I’m wasting my days, sacrificing my dreams
12.Even the “present” I hold is someone else’s imitation
13.How do I end this game?
14.If I just stopped like this—if it could all end—that would be enough
15.I’m only getting by like this, just surviving16.
17.On the blank white page I gently opened
18.What should I draw?—back then, I could still wonder
19.But now the page is smudged with crooked lines
20.Beyond recognition21.
22.I’m wasting my days, painting over my dreams
23.Even the present I created is a common replica
24.Throw it into the flames
25.If it all just vanished—if it burned away—that would be enough
26.I’m only dampening, little by little27.
28.I’m wasting my days, sacrificing my dreams
29.Even the now I hold is someone else’s imitation
30.How do I end this game?
31.If I just stopped like this—if it could all end—
32.I should have wished for that, I should have wanted that
33.And yet my legs keep moving—I’m still breathing—Replica
