R To The Core

Dir En Grey · VULGAR [2003]

Baka wa omae da yo

Honne wo kakashita

Shinmenmoku na furi shita buta sa

Nani mo kikoete'nai nani mo tsutawaranai

Koko wa mushun shita basho sa

Kokoro ga sakenda

Douse kikoenai hidarimimi no you ni

Baka ni shite'ru n darou

Sonna yatsu dake ja nai no mo shitte'ru

Subete wa atsumerarenai

Demo ore wa ima mo koekarashinagara

Kusari kitta omae ni...

Kotae wa kitto aru

Notauchi mawatte ikiru ishi wo

Ima sarake dashite miro

Yogorete shimaeba dare mo ga issho sa
