Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
シビレを切らしてる　僕はマゾの血をひき　サドの君を待つ 出来れば　毒のbaiser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 最初で最後の理解者　焼き付けて 嫌がる僕を見て　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 皮のキシム音が痛い　傷を深めてゆこう 嫉妬深い君は　いつでも冷血なの? 幼い頃の虐待がね　今でも忘れずにいたい 何故MOTHERはいないの　教えてよ いつかはやさしさに気付いて　聖母なる「ゆりかご」の中で 悲痛故に前が見えず　僕の最後の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 僕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僕はサド?	Shibire o kirashiteru　Boku wa mazo no chi o hiki　Sado no kimi o matsu Dekireba　Doku no baiser 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 boku o mite　Tsuyoku soshite yasashiku muriyari no ketsudan Keshite kimi ni wa yuenai Kawa no kishimu oto ga itai　Kizu o fukamete yukō Shittobukai kimi wa　Itsudemo reiketsu na no? Osanai koro no gyakutai ga ne　Ima demo wasurezu ni itai Naze mama wa inai no　Oshiete yo Itsu ka wa yasashisa ni kizuite　Haha naru "yurikago" no naka de Hitsū yue ni mae ga miezu　Boku 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 Boku ni wa yasashisugita no ka naa?　Mukashi no torauma o utsushi Saigo no kimi made kowashita boku wa sado?	I'm impatient, a masochist's blood runs in my veins, and I'm with you, a sadist. If I could, I want to use the poisonous "baiser". Because of grief, virtue can't be seen, you're the last "MOTHER". I'll conceal the memory before you find it, you're the first "MOTHER". Though a clock goes left to right, a committed sin will never change. You're the first and the last person who understands me, you'll be burned into my memory. Seeing me resist, the strong and gentle, forcing decision. I can never tell you. The sound of my skin grated tortures me, you'll let the wound fester. Are you, a jealous person, always cold-blooded? Still now, I don't want to forget I was an abused kid. Just tell me why I don't have a "MOTHER". Please find kindness in a holy cradle some day. Because of sorrow, the future can't be seen, you're the last "MOTHER" for me. At least I'll try to hide it, you're the first "MOTHER". Though a clock goes left to right, a committed sin will never change. I destroyed the first and the last person who understands me. I wonder if you're too kind to me? Reflecting the past trauma. I destroyed the last person, you. Was I sadist?

Trivia

Lyrics

• The word "MOTHER" would normally be read as マザー (mazā) in Japanese. However, Kyo sings ママ (mama) instead. The GAUZE (1999) album's band score doesn't provide a reading for the word.
• The band score also gives the reading for 言えない as いえない (ienai), but Kyo pronounces it as ゆえない (yuenai).
