Lyrics

omae no me ga osoroshikute kokoro ga egurareru
watashi no koto wo minaide
omae ga jama de shikata nai

sono me wa nani wo miteru
koukishin? saigishin?
watashi no koto wo minaide
suki ni sasete kurenai ka

kokoro no kago no naka de hitori yasuraka ni nemuru
kokoro no ori no naka de kuchite hatete shineba ii

furenaide mitsumenaide
watashi wa koko ni inai kara
kowai kara chikazukanaide
kago no naka de nemurasete

anata wa naze tsumetai no
yasashiku shiteru no ni
watashi no koto wo mite yo
anata no koto ga wakaranai

kokoro ni tojikometa anata no kotoba wo misete
kokoro ni tojikometa anata no sugata wo misete

furenaide mitsumenaide
watashi wa koko ni inai kara
kowai kara chikazukanaide
omae ga osoroshiku mieru
fumikomu na kakawaranaide
kokoro no naka wo nozoku na
furenaide mitsumenaide
kago no naka de nemurasete
watashi wa koko ni inai kara

anata no me ga osoroshikute kokoro ga egurareru
watashi wo hitei suru nara
kago no naka de nemureba ii
soshite koko de kuchireba ii

English Translation

Your eyes are too terrifying that it's stinging my heart
Don't look so much at me
It can't be helped since you're a nuisance

What are those eyes looking at?
Curiosity? Suspicion?
Don't look so much at me
Won't you let me do whatever I like?

Inside the cage of my heart, I sleep alone peacefully
Inside the prison of my heart, I rot endlessly so I can die

Don't touch me, don't look at me
Since I am not really here
I'm terrified so don't come close to me
Let me sleep inside this cage

Why are you so cold-hearted to me?
Even though I'm being kind to you
Please look at me
I don't know anything about you

Show me the words locked inside your heart
Show me the figure locked inside your heart

Don't touch me, don't look at me
Because I am no longer here
I'm terrified so don't come close to me
You look terrifying
Do not step in further, do not involve yourself
Do not peek inside my heart
Don't touch me, don't look at me
Let me sleep inside this cage
Because I am no longer here

Your eyes are too terrifying that it's digging my heart
If you're denying me
At least, let me sleep inside my cage
and let me rot here finally
