Black Sheep

(album: JIGOKU 6 - 2023)

[Romanized:]

I am the picture of a perfect human every day
I am the picture of a perfect human every day

I am the picture of a perfect human every day an icon of god
Not programmed to make any mistakes
I am notorious for staying in my lane
Cuz I got what's on the mannequin with no right to complain

Animosity is permanent, some days I can't get up
If I showed a bit of weakness I don't think it would let up
Numbers crushing me, pinning me down
I will not let you see me frowning
In reality, I'm drowning
Someone save me now

Kono sekai ni mattaku imi nai
Kurutchatte ī
Feeling like the pen's run out at last
Living like a moth beneath the glass
Ever just a slave unto my past
I just laugh

If you retreat now, this life will never change
Just like lyrics you've heard a thousand times
Tired uninspired refrains
Days on repeat cloud my mind
Am I deranged?
When I can hear that fractious anthem in my heart again
I swear I'm gonna break the chain

We're living in the upside down
We're living in the upside down
We're living in the upside down
We're living in the upside down

Some call it "niche"
Others call it just "unlikeable"
But this here is an opera where actors are recyclable
I'm breaking parole
Stand out, I won't be controlled
My hand is stronger than ever and yet I fold

No no no
No time left for a fallen empress
The void ahead is known as tall and endless
Defenseless, expendable
Pretend that I'm still dependable
Told I don't belong near my own friends
There's no end
And nothings getting better
So I'm thinking of pushing and pulling myself and seeing just how far I bend

Kono sekai de ikitakunai
Shin jatte ī
Feeling like there's nothing left to write
Living like I'm running out of time
Ever losing sleep wondering why I can't die

Nigetara, jinsei wa kawaranai
Nankai kiita koto ga aru
Kashi ga mawatteru, eien ni

I really need you now
Though life may never change
I want to scream how I feel until I'm gone
Rising above the outrage
Days of defeat, loses always stain the page
So I'll create an undying anthem in my heart again
Tonight I'm gonna break the chain

この世界に全く意味ない
狂っちゃっていい
Feeling like the pen's run out at last
Living like a moth beneath the glass
Ever just a slave unto my past
I just laugh

If you retreat now, this life will never change
Just like lyrics you've heard a thousand times

この世界で生きたくない
死んじゃっていい
Feeling like there's nothing left to write
Living like I'm running out of time
Ever losing sleep wondering why I can't die

逃げたら、人生は変わらない
何回聞いたことがある
歌詞が回ってる、永遠に

I really need you now
Though life may never change
I want to scream how I feel until I'm gone
Rising above the outrage
Days of defeat, loses always stain the page
So I'll create an undying anthem in my heart again
