Required Malfunction
The Gazette · Division [2012]
You go mad in this strong possibility
My word and deed
It has been input into your brain
After malfunction
Inevitable bugs
Discomfort of the waking
And dizziness
The possibility that I make a mistake
Predictable,
2 minutes later,
After malfunction
Inevitable bugs
You are my [instability]
I'm your enormous virus
Sometimes freeze without mixing
Repeated contact damage
But,There is not the hatred here
Flip side of affection
Gentle deadfall
All is honeytrap
Now,dive into the hill of repose
The scenery which you wish for
In the other side of this dream
To the world where nobody is
Falling while embraced you
Deeply
Itsuwari naki sono mujaki sa ni
Yogore naki uta o okurou
Sono kizu o nomikomu you ni
Saa me o aite goran
Kodoku no kachi ga saite iru
You are my [instability]
I'm your enormous virus
Sometimes freeze without mixing
Repeated contact damage
But,There is not the hatred here
Flip side of affection
Gentle deadfall
All is honeytrap
[Instability] that you gave
Because you are always here, I can advance before
The scenery which you wish for
In the other side of this dream
To the world where nobody is
Falling while embraced you
Deeply
To the world where nobody is,
Falling while embraced you
Deeply
Because you are always here, I can advance before
Let's Dive
