Lyrics

Japanese

長く薄暗い　闇の中
確かなものは　右手の目だけ
あるとき　ようやくきづいたの
この世の目を　掌握するわたし
あらゆることが　つまらないから
握りつぶせば　世界の崩壊？
終末の前に　紅茶を飲もう
とっておきのエキスは　そう、あなた

近頃なんだか　面白くない
お姉様は神社に　入り浸り
追いかけようにも　お外は豪雨
雨は大キライ　イライラするから
館をつぶせば　戻ってくるかな
あれあれ　変なやつらがやってきた？
退屈だったし　弾幕ごっこ
あなたにコンティニューさせないんだから

nagaku usugurai yami no naka
tashika na mono wa migite no me dake
aru toki youyaku kizuitara
kono yo no me wo shouaku suru watashi
arayuru koto ga tsumaranai kara
nigiri tsubuseba sekai no houkai?
shuumatsu no mae ni koucha wo nomou
totte oki no ekisu wa sou, anata

chikagoro nan da ga omoshirokunai
oneesama wa jinja ni iri bitari
oi kakeyou ni mo osoto wa gou'u
ame wa daikirai iraira suru kara
yakata wo tsubuseba modotte kuru ka na
are are hen na yatsura ga yatte kita?
taikutsu datta shi danmaku gokko
anata ni CONTINUE sasenai n dakara

English

In the depths of a long and gloomy darkness
All I know for sure is the "eye" in my right hand
Eventually I finally understood
That I'm tightly gripping the world's eye
Everything is just so boring, so
If I break it, will the world be destroyed?
Let's drink some black tea before it all ends
The best essence comes, yes, from you

Lately, nothing interesting's been happening
My big sister just keeps going to the shrine
I thought I'd go after her, but it's pouring outside
I hate the rain, it makes me mad
I wonder if she'd come back if I broke the mansion
Oh, what's that? Some strange people have come around
I was really bored, so let's play danmaku
I won't let you continue
