1.
(vocals: Natsuki Karin, Feng Yi, Hanakuma Chifuyu (maybe)) Sky looks cloudy today i dont wanna come and play i wanna curl right up and sleep the whole day away complain when my whole life is staring back in my face Dig my nails into dirt and pull the earth away feels wrong to say im far below the living world the dotted lines and solid swirls Ufos and unborn ghosts bible verses and ads for hearses Modern life seen thru wires Surrounding you commanding me too Radio waves inside brains Theyre playing songs that sound like pain Below the living world the dotted lines signed then thrown away Shed these signs On ur life Weighss ten tons Weighs too much Just ur luck Just like love :D

(vocals: Stardust Infinity, Koharu Rikka) You need to start being nicer to me or I'm gonna tell everyone what you say about me in the break room. I hope no one notices I don't get anything done. Keep my head down, keep my head down. Is it so bad if I'm no good at my job? A joke for money, a professional clown I'm desperately trying to run out the clock I don't deserve the life I've been handed down I wake up on an island made of hope, I swim back to shore and I get ready for work. One day when I'm plucked from my perch on high, will I be happy then, when I have the time to cry? I can see the sun go down outside and I'd like to say goodbye while it's still light outside. Even if it all goes down tonight, still I'd like to say goodbye while I can still see your eyes.
3.
(vocals: Mai, Hatsune Miku) Forever and a day that I've been away. I've heard it all before, there's nothing to say. But I don't really care, let's say it again, I always wanna say you're more than a friend. Now that you're really here in front of my eyes, they will not fly away, all these butterflies. But I don't really care, let's say it again, I always wanna hear you're more than a friend. There's something you should know, my body's made of snow, and when I feel cold, I reach for the people in my phone. I'm freezing on the grass, so much talking through glass, I'm shivering through a lonely romance. Even nights eating time spent alone, on those days I could see the future. You'd be standing next to me and we'd be looking down at the city. I painted that picture out of love and hung it inside my eyelids so when we're apart I can feel you even when it's been ... Uncertain mind when I can't be you, I must stay in these cold dark cages, living off a metal water bottle in a room that has had no doorway, busy making pictures and songs, old taco nights when I'm losing my mind, making wings out of computers, love infused in dark memories. Taking tests on empathy and none of them check how well you know me. You would stand beside me when the wind would force me to run away. I painted that picture out of love and I hung it inside my eyelids so when we're apart I can feel you even when it's been...
4.
(vocals: Eleanor Forte AI, Solaria) memories heavy in your mind what could ever rid of them all those weightless words wont die time will turn them into lead duality, unsystematically, appeal to senses randomly reminded me, invited me to love or to hate, it hurts either way trust the heaven in your mind, knowing your sure sane affair artificial by design time will turn it into air judgement feigned then is applied hardened shifted focused stare why wont they come back to me? not my fault if it bleeds exhale, seeing red trigger finger hit the switch inhale, it failed blessed to be cursed like this accosting me, unsystematically random idiosyncrasies reminded me in equal parts of love or hate it hurts me to say this ah unable to discern the line between needs and wants lights flashing faces blur advertisements sharpen first useless, its useless pointless information uses elude you, its constant stimulation
5.
(vocals: Hanakuma Chifuyu, Xia Yu Yao, Mai) You never bothered, so why should I lie? But you know it gets old hearing departing flights. Your most precious gems, your thoughts in your hands, falling with the cold in the fluorescent wavebands Beneath your toenails lie mountains of eggshells, I'm waiting for the avalanche to bring you down with me. Thread the needle, pull it through, I know that there's a spark in you. I know that there's a world in you. Fall into my arms. It's hard to sing along when everybody else is singing wrong. But I know a good song when I hear one, so come on. (-an honest gasp) (-a stifled laugh) I wonder what I could have been if I had copied your philosophy? But you've reminded me, so I'll say to you what they never said to me: If you feel like no one's got you, I'll be here to chase the clouds away. (Talk to me, 教えて, sing with me again, I like how we harmonize Like cream and wheat, isn't it sweet? Wrap it up, let's eat.)
6.
(vocals: Eleanor Forte AI, Natalie) i can't explain this feeling inside of me nothing can fix it not even surgery! life has become more sore and numb now i just cant smile unless i have just frowned everyday is filled with endless resentments nothing can answer all my empty questions life has become avoiding suggestions i try to smile force down my confessions sunlight hits and i want to crawl back ecstasy cut with guilt i betrayed you i can't take back everything i said selfish i know it weighs down on my head sheets of clouds protect me feeling useful ecstasy cut with guilt i have failed you i can't take back everything i love selfish i know, escaping from my lungs everyday i repeat my past mistakes nothing can fix the broken way i was made life became sore with many more colors vividly mundane things i discovered trapping me inside myself constantly you hear yourself think take it out on someone else you will figure something else out can't remember what it was why do you love what you love? can't remember reasons why no one else could get it right sunlight hits and i want to crawl back ecstasy cut with guilt i betrayed you i can't take back everything i said selfish i know escaping from my lungs
7.
(vocals: Kasane Teto AI, Xia Yu Yao) It'll never heal if you keep on picking at the wound until it bleeds. I know it's true, but what to do? Living in the past is so serene. But I can't hold on forever. If no one has to grow up, if I don't need to be well, then I'm choosing to be. I forgive myself. And I won't revel in my shame and I won't shelter myself. I'm sick of being pandered to. I'm moving ahead, young adult. I'm staying inside, surviving off IV drip of my nostalgia. I know it's sad, I understand. Save my inner child at expense of the rest of my days in this life. If no one has to grow up, if I don't need to be well, then I'm choosing to be. I'll accept myself. Let the time and the lye wash the tear from my eye. I'm sick of being who I was. I'm moving ahead on my own. I think back to my younger days, all her pain, all her fear, all her longing. But now I know the best thing I can do for her is to leave her behind and live happy. (Thank you my friends)
