Liar Mask
Rika Mayama
Liar Mask
As if to kiss
Slowly sinking into dawn
Approaching with a made-up face
Dropping what is believed into darkness
Like a tangled thread
Just earnestly looking up at the sky
The face behind the repeated laughter and strange expressions
Drawing the sword so as not to lose anything more
A distorted smile in the darkness
Uncontrollable anger, let it out
No matter how many times tears are shed
Cut as if praying
Dye it dark again today
The voice of a fleeting soul
Burned into the ears and gnawed at
The strength to fight against twisted love
The face of reality hiding weakness
Standing alone in the pouring black rain, wet cheeks
Pulling the strings so as not to lose anything more
Shout to the sky with the voice of your heart
Release the light without hesitation
No matter how many lives are toyed with
Aim and shoot down the wishes
Dye it dark again today
Beneath the painted sky of lies
This life that has been drowned out
Even if struggling desperately
A gentle world out of reach
Holding poison, creating poison
Liar mask
Drowning in pleasure, the wheel keeps turning
To ensure nothing more moves
Life, a desperate gamble
A distorted smile in the darkness
Uncontrollable anger, let it out
If you can escape the maze of sorrow
Accept it until the end
Many times, awaken courage in the sky
Hope, let the light shine in your chest
No matter how many times tears are shed
Cut as if praying
Dye it dark again today
