[Translation] It’sLie (イツライ)/Ryushen

There’s no point expecting anything from me
In truth, no one knows
I can’t convey it — my pain, suffering, and what I hate
Pretend like you can’t see me, do it properly
Those words that go unheard are also a lie

I don’t talk about my ideals, I don’t laugh that easily
I want to turn to mud and sleep with the passing seasons
Don’t look right at me with those dead eyes
Take your hands off of this tangled piece of fabric

Changing colour like magic, I fade into the city again
Uncertain things like machines
You shouldn’t get attached to them

On the kinds of nights where I turn to mimicry,
I wound someone by accident and they become endearing to me
Letting the correct answer do as it wants, even if it hurts
I want to know because it’s bound to be forgotten one day
The present we live in is the truth,
It’s that kind of a lie

Misunderstanding and making mistakes, it’s dope
A rolling girl that’s surrendered herself
No matter how much she screams, there’s no point; a prayer to the Buddha
Someday, I suppose I’ll rot away and cry
Just like her

Wait, wait just a little bit
You can’t leave me behind, don’t rush ahead
It’s like a miracle, I want you to yearn and wait for
A night full of lies

As the answer I didn’t understand flies away
I see it off and wave goodbye again
In this generational delusion of mine
Even if only burnt remains are left one day
Your heart is the truth,
It’s that kind of a lie

The crowd cheers for the space between dream and reality
I’ll cut it out and frame it on the wall, even if it’s just an illusion
I want to keep on having expectations for the present
No matter how much dejection I face, or if I’m gone one day
This bouquet of thorns I want to hate,
I embrace it and believe in the pain

On the kinds of nights where I turn to mimicry, I’m still…
Letting the correct answer do as it wants, even if it hurts
I want to know because it’s bound to be forgotten one day
The present we live in is the truth,
It’s that kind of a lie

It’s all a lie
