Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji
そうさ肉の割れ目通う豚に問いかけてみな 満たされた数だけ金をバラ撒き心を失う 剥がれ堕ちた顔に娘は笑いかける そう晴れ着の下の愛情 そうさ晴れ着の下のご愛想笑い 極めて難しくないCの回答解らないより 現実を見つめる両目の方が何よりも大事 剥がれ堕ちた空に俺は笑いかける そう晴れ日の下の愛情 そうさ晴れ日の下の… 俺を見つめている貴方様はおっしゃるばかり 決して抱き寄せてはくれない大きな貴方の手 俺の誕生日には愛を買い与える 今日は曇りのち雨 実際　愛したい　目の前の世界を 実際　でももう… dead freedom 叫ぶ事を忘れたのならば　ここで叫び　ここに生きろ 何度死んでも叫び向かうさ　声を壊し　声を殺せばいい 叫ぶ事を忘れたのならば　ここで叫び　ここに生きろ 何度死んでも叫び向かうさ　声を壊し心で叫べばいい We can dive	Sō sa niku no wareme kayou buta ni toikakete mina Mitasareta kazu dake kane o bara maki kokoro o ushinau Sogare ochita kao ni musume wa waraikakeru Sō haregi no shita no aijō Sō sa haregi no shita no goaisowarai Kiwamete muzukashiku nai C no kaitō wakaranai yori Genjitsu o mitsumeru ryōme no hō ga nani yori mo daiji Sogare ochita sora ni ore wa warai kakeru Sō harebi no shita no aijō Sō sa harebi no shita no… Ore o mitsumete iru anata-sama wa ossharu bakari Keshite dakiyosete wa kurenai ōkina anata no te Ore no tanjōbi ni wa ai o kaiataeru Kyō wa kumori nochi ame Jissai　Aishitai　Me no mae no sekai o Jissai　Demo mō… dead freedom Sakebu koto o wasureta no naraba　Koko de sakebi　Koko ni ikiro Nando shinde mo sakebi mukau sa　Koe o kowashi　Koe o koroseba ii Sakebu koto o wasureta no naraba　Koko de sakebi　Koko ni ikiro Nando shinde mo sakebi mukau sa　Koe o kowashi koko de sakebeba ii We can dive
Translations
Translation on Withering to death.	Translation on 「我葬の詩」下巻
That's right, just ask that pig with meat That you lose your heart because you spend money to fullfill That girl laughs at your sorry face That's right, the love underneath the suit That's right, the politeness underneath the suit Even if you don't know the answer to the simple question of C The eyes to see the reality are far more important I laugh at your sorry sky That's right, the love underneath the sunny day That's right, underneath the sunny day… All you people looking at me, you just say what you want You never come and reach your hand out to me You buy love for me on my birthday Today it's cloudy and partly rain Actually, I want to love the world before me Actually I do, but dead freedom If you've forgotten how to scream then scream right here and live right here I will scream as much as I want and if my voice dies, then let my voice die If you've forgotten how to scream then scream right here and live right here I will scream no matter how many times I die My voice will die But I will scream right here my heart We can dive	That's right, just ask that pig with stretch marks Losing your heart as you throw money to fulfill That girl smiles at your peeled-off face That's right, the love underneath your finest clothes That's right, the forced smile underneath your finest clothes Even if you don't know the answer to the not-too-difficult question of C The eyes to see the reality is far more important than anything else I smile at the peeled-off sky That's right, the love underneath the sunny day That's right, underneath the sunny day… All you people looking at me, you just say what you want You reaching out your big hand to hug me You buy me love on my birthday Today it's cloudy and partly rain Actually, I want to love the world before me Actually I do, but now… dead freedom If you've forgotten how to scream, then scream right here and live right here No matter how many times I die, I will keep screaming forward, destroying my voice and just kill me voice If you've forgotten how to scream, then scream right here and live right here No matter how many times I die, I will keep screaming forward, destroying my voice and scream from my heart We can dive
