1.Since childhood, I’ve loved the sensation
2.Of the scorching air enveloping my face, making it hard to breathe.
3.Day after day, it was one thing after another.
4.“Are you doing the same thing again? Stop it already!”
5.Dad yelled, while Mom cried in her room.6.
7.“Why would you do that?”
8.“Why would you say that?”
9.“Why would you make that face?”
10.Sitting in the dark room, I pondered these questions.11.
12.Meanwhile, the old crematorium chimney, the only landmark, enveloped the town in smoke.13.
14.In the sad world of a pyromaniac,
15.Flames burn
16.And sway.
17.Let’s do it again,
18.Casting long shadows and wanting to disappear.
19.It hurts to melt away.
20.Who am I? I’m forgetting.21.
22.Even though I wanted to hear
23.The buried voice,
24.I still couldn’t.
25.The same dream repeats.
26.The burning town is covered in a deep red veil,
27.Calling out.28.
29.The matchbox was in my trembling hand again.
30.Everything I touched turned to ash.
31.I don’t want to forget these incomprehensible emotions.
32.Not at all, I don’t want to forget
33.Until the room becomes bright as day.34.
35.In the sad world of a pyromaniac,
36.Flames burn
37.And sway.
38.Let’s do it again,
39.Casting long shadows and wanting to disappear.
40.It hurts to melt away.
41.Who am I? I’ve been forgetting.42.
43.Until it turns to ash, until it turns to embers,
44.I wonder if the fire will keep burning tomorrow.
