Lyrics
Romaji=

Kanji =

English = Like a withered tree can’t bloom Your hand won’t ever be able to grasp your dreams Just like God won’t save anyone That path you take won’t get you to tomorrow

There’s no point in mediocre things Just like a nut, if it’s no good, dispose of the body

Using the toy’s heads Let’s draw a vivid image I want to see your smile get clouded like throwing building blocks Let’s count the passing of time with your tears All that sweet rage, Hey, gimme more

Just like you can’t understand the sound of insects That song won’t be heard by anyone Just like soldiers won’t lower their weapons I’ll be the one to keep rolling your dice

There’s no value in ugly things If it has no charm to it, then burn that body Along with love

Joining the toy’s arms Let’s draw a rainbow Even when they’re crumbling, let’s make the dolls dance I wanna sing a song to the tune of your wails The fruit of despair Hey, gimme all of it

Turn off the lights Fun has just begun I still want to play with you a lot more

Using the toys’ heads Let’s draw a vivid image All that sweet rage Hey, gimme more Until I get tired of you
