1.Until the moment I can erase all the memories I’ve had up until today, I can’t sleep.
2.I can’t bear the thought of living from tomorrow onward without someone to take my place.
3.Tell me it’s okay—won’t you let me blame you for it later?
4.It’s meaningless now, but still—won’t you let me blame you for it later?5.
6.My mind is consumed by countless words of unkept promises, spilling endlessly.
7.They hold no meaning. I can’t do anything.
8.I can’t see. I want to run. I want to fly. I want to stop. But I can’t look away.9.
10.So—
11.Drag me down
12.Until I can’t climb back up.
13.Until I grow tired of it.
14.Let me fall
15.Until salvation finally dangles before me.16.
17.I bite down, crushing even the screams trapped in my throat, flavored with lies.
18.I pass the time pretending, following along with words spoken as if they know me.
19.I never wanted to be like this.20.
21.Today, I wait to be saved by drowsy, drowsy ideals that seem useful.
22.The first letter is spoken with an open “I.”
23.Bite down hard, firmly, painfully.24.
25.Just die.
26.If you hate the future and the past,
27.Then destroy them.
28.If you must, become the perpetrator instead.29.
30.The frustration I can’t swallow, the sadness that brings forth nothing—
31.Before it turns tasteless and I spit it out, I’ll already be singing the next song.32.
33.If it’s all meaningless,
34.Then dance, dance!
35.Before you become entirely gray, make it resound.
36.Change yourself
37.Until the moment you finally fall asleep.38.
39.If it’s all meaningless,
40.Then take it all.
41.Expose the lies you’ve tamed,
42.And stare at the fleeting illusions that flash through your boiling mind.43.
44.I was watching myself.
