Lyrics
Romaji=

Kanji = もう泣かないで　夜明けを拒んで 褪せた世界じゃ眠れない 愛したのでしょう　千切れるくらいに 絶望に咲いた　花の様に

映画みたいな　日々に酔いしれた 夢は夢だと笑いながら あの日の涙　エンドロールも消えた 過去に囚われた　穢れた天使 さあ　おいで　ほら　ここまで　ドレスを脱いで　さぁ こんなにも　愛しくて　呼吸もできなくて　今この手で 壊してしまいたい

もう泣かないで　くだらない運命に 開いた世界で生まれ変われ 愛しているよ　壊したい位に 絶望を切り裂いた懺悔の中で

もう何もいらないよ　言葉も約束も どんな理想も不可能な願いも　全部叶えよう 気の触れたラプソディア　鮮やかな口付けで 色褪せたその心　穢れさえ染めよう赤く

全てを忘れさせてあげよう　全てを塗り替えてあげよう 君だけの僕が　僕だけの君に

もう1人で泣かないで　君は綺麗だ どんな未来が降り注いでも守ると誓おう

気の触れたラプソディア　鮮やかな口付けで 色褪せたこの心　穢れさえ染めて よこぼれ落ちた涙が染め上げた星空 何時までも何時までも　貴方に詩うよ　ラプソディア English = Don’t cry anymore, or else tomorrow won’t come Sleeping in this faded world is impossible You loved it right? To the point of breaking? Like a flower that bloomed in despair

Living in a trance, like in a movie Dreams are nothing more than that, so laugh The tears from that day disappeared along with the credits A corrupted angel caught up in the past Now, come here, yes, right here, now take off your dress It was so beautiful that it took my breath away. And now it seems like these hands of mine

want to destroy it

Don’t cry anymore over your worthless destiny You can be reborn in this new world I'll love you until I break A confession that breaks through despair

You don’t need anything anymore, not even words nor promises I’ll grant all of your ideals and impossible dreams A demented rhapsodia from a vivid kiss Dyes this impure and dull heart with red

I’ll make you forget everything to repaint it all For I am yours, you are mine

Don’t cry alone anymore, you’re beautiful I swear to protect you no matter what future holds for us

A demented rhapsodia from a vivid kiss Dyes this impure and dull heart with red A starry sky dyed with tears I'll sing for you for all of eternity; this rhapsodia

Trivia

 * For his single "Endroll", released on September 21, 2022, Tatsurou made a self-cover of this song with a new arrangement.
 * While on production, the lyrics were different, for example "君は綺麗だ" was "君は綺麗さ" instead. Arthur also spent a lot of time recording it.
