Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
痺れを切らしてる　俺はマゾの血を引き　サドの君を待つ 出来れば　毒の思考で 悲嘆故に美徳見えず　君は最後のMOTHERで 記憶埋めて気付かれぬように　最初のMOTHER 時計は左回りでも　犯した罪は変えれず 最初で最期の理解者　焼き付けて 嫌がる俺を見て　強くそして優しく無理矢理の決断 決して君には言えない 皮の軋む音が理想　傷を深めていけば 嫉妬深い君は　いつでも冷血なの? 幼い頃の虐待がね　今では理解さえ出来る 何故MOTHERは居ないの?　教えてよ 嗚呼　いつかは全て燃やして 消えてしまおう 母なる揺り籠の中は? 悲痛故に前が見えず　俺の最後のMOTHERで せめて君に気付かれぬように　最初のMOTHER 時計は左回りでも　犯した罪は変えれず 最初で最後の理解者　壊した 俺には優し過ぎたのかなあ?　昔のトラウマを映し 最後の君まで壊した俺はサド?	Shibire o kirashiteru　Ore wa mazo no chi o hiki　Sado no kimi o matsu Dekireba　Doku no shikō de Hitan yue ni bitoku miezu　Kimi wa saigo no mama de Kioku umete kizukarenu yō ni　Saisho no mama Tokei wa hidarimawari demo　Okashita tsumi wa kaerezu Saisho de saigo no rikaisha　Yakitsukete Iyagaru ore o mite　Tsuyoku soshite yasashiku muriyari no ketsudan Keshite kimi ni wa yuenai Kawa no kishimu oto ga risō　Kizu o fukamete ikeba Shittobukai kimi wa　Itsudemo reiketsu na no? Osanai koro no gyakutai ga ne　Ima de wa rikaisae dekiru Naze mama wa inai no?　Oshiete yo Aa　Itsuka wa subete moyashite　Kiete shimaou Haha naru yurikago no naka wa? Hitsū yue ni mae ga miezu　Ore no saigo no mama de Semete kimi ni kizukarenu yō ni　Saisho no mama Tokei wa hidarimawari demo　Okashita tsumi wa kaerezu Saisho de saigo no rikaisha　Kowashita Ore ni wa yasashisugita no ka naa?　Mukashi no torauma o utsushi Saigo no kimi made kowashita ore wa sado?	Growing impatient　I'm a masochist by blood　I wait for you, the sadist Preferably with the poisonous mind Because of my pessimism, I can't see the virtue　You will be the last MOTHER I bury the memories and try to go unnoticed　The first MOTHER Even if the clock moves counterclockwise　The sin committed can't be changed The first and the last person to understand me　I burn you into my memory As you see me disliking it　You strongly yet gently force the decision I can never tell you The sound of the skin squeaking is the dream　If you deepen the wound You, being the jealous type　Are you always so cold-hearted? The abuse from childhood I can almost say I get it now Why aren't you here MOTHER　Tell me Ah　Let's one day burn it all and disappear What's inside the mother's cradle? Because of my bitterness, I can't see what's ahead　As you will be my last MOTHER Hoping you won't notice me, at the least　The first MOTHER Even if the clock moves counterclockwise　The sin committed can't be changed The first and the last person to understand me　I broke you Were you too gentle for me, I wonder?　Reflecting on the trauma from the past Am I a sadist who even broke the last person, you?

Trivia

Lyrics

• The word "MOTHER" would normally be read as マザー (mazā) in Japanese. However, Kyo sings ママ (mama) instead.
• For some reason, Kyo changed the word 最後 (saigo) to 最期 (saigo) in the third verse, but not in the second-to-last verse. It might be an error in either verse.
