Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji
愛おしい愛おしい愛おしい 気持ちから生まれた 死に物狂いで向かう先では 笑顔振りまき　私の影を踏む 泥を被る空　何よりも顔の無い月が落ちて行くのが 嫌気がさす様な顔の無い太陽 いざ向かおう UNLIMITED 理性を並べ人間面 その方向に進む勿れ 同じ眼の色した別の害虫共が ギラつく眼孔を突き刺す 情景は無意識に涙で滲む する側よりされる側 ずぶといナイフ真意を刺す 見様見真似の排卵日 増殖バレード涙で霞む 愛くるしいのさ 出産記念パーティー よく似てるわ 重なって ねんねんころり 貴方の名前は? まったり話す間もなく「跨がり」 一点向け振り下ろす 罪悪感の変わりに愛を 本国の旗を咲かせよう	Itooshii itooshii itooshii Kimochi kara umareta Shi ni monogurui de mukau saki de wa Egao furimaki　Watashi no kage o fumu Doro o kaburu sora　Nani yori mo kao no nai tsuki ga ochiteyuku no ga Iyake ga sasu yō na kao no nai taiyō Iza mukaō UNLIMITED Risei o narabe ningentsura Sono hōkō ni susumu nakare Onaji me no iro shita betsu no gaichūdomo ga Giratsuku gankō o tsukisasu Jōkei wa muishiki ni namida de nijimu Surugawa yori sarerugawa Zubutoi naifu shini o sasu Miyōmimane no hairanbi Zōshoku parēdo namida de kasumu Aikurushii no sa Shussan kinen pātī Yoku niteru wa Kasanatte Nennen korori Anata no namae wa? Mattari hanasu mamonaku "matagari" Itten muke furiorosu Zaiakukan no kawari ni ai o Hongoku no hata o sakaseyō

Precious　Precious　Precious Created from emotions The path that you so desperately seek will lead you to a place Where you will smile for everyone and step on my shadow The sky covered in dirt But what's worse is the faceless moon that will drop And the faceless sun that seems to feel disgusted Let's head our way UNLIMITED The Human Face explains rationality Thou shall not proceed in that direction Pests with same colored eyes Piercing the glaring eye socket The view is blurred by unconscious tears The doer or the donee The knife stabs into the truth Trying to imitate ovulation The breeding parade blurred by tears It's precious The baby shower You look so alike Overlapping Good night lullaby What's your name? Without a moment to talk, you mount You swing down at one particular point Have love instead of guilt Let the flag of our home country blossom	Precious Precious Precious Created from these emotions The path that you so desperately seek will lead you to a place where you will smile for everyone and step on my shadow The sky covered in dirt But what's worse is the faceless moon that will drop And the faceless sun that seems to feel disgust Let's head our way UNLIMITED Line up rationality　The human face　 Thou shall not proceed in that direction Those vermin with those same colored eyes Piercing those glaring eye sockets The view is unconsciously oozed by tears The perpetrator or the victim The knife stabs into the truth Trying to imitate the day of ovulation The breeding parade blurred by tears It's precious The baby shower You look so alike On top of each other Good night lullaby What's your name? Without a moment to talk, you「mount」 You swing down at one particular point Love instead of guilt Let's bloom the flag of our home country
