Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji
歪な君 The Inside Mind 歪な真っ赤な美 まだ塗り潰せる そう…まだ 行き着いた　優しい声に　導かれ彷徨って パレードに朽ち木と燃える 右と左がまだ残っているから 風貌問わず　愛してやれ 右手に愛情? 左手は何? アタシキレイ 行き着いた　優しい声に　導かれ彷徨って Image 夕日が待つゆらゆら揺れる閉じ込められた心 俺はまだ　明日に 乱れし時淡く 淫らなお前の嘘	Ibitsu na kimi The Inside Mind Ibitsu na makka na bi Mada nuri tsubuseru Sō…mada Ikitsuita　Yasashii koe ni　Michibikare samayotte Parēdo ni kuchiki to moeru Migi to hidari ga mada nokotte iru kara Fūbō towazu　Aishite yare Migite ni aijō? Hidarite wa nani? Atashi kirei Ikitsuita　Yasashii koe ni　Michibikare samayotte Image Yūhi ga matsu yurayura yureru tojikomerareta kokoro Ore wa mada　Ashita ni Midareshi toki awaku Midara na omae no uso

Translation on ARCHE	Translation on 「我葬の詩」下巻
Your deformed self The Inside Mind The deformed red beauty It can still be filled Yes, it can still The gentle voice that I arrived at, lead the way as I wandered Burning with the decaying trees in the parade The right and the left still remain Love it without caring about how it looks Is it love in the right hand? What's in the left hand? I AM PRETTY The gentle voice that I arrived at, lead the way as I wandered Image The sunset waits My locked-up heart sways back and forth Tomorrow, I am still In the time of agitation is faint hope Your dirty lies	Your deformed self The Inside Mind The deformed red beauty It can still be filled Yes…it can still I have arrived, the gentle voice has lead the way as I wandered Burning with the decaying trees in the parade The right and the left still remains Love it regardless of appearance Is it love in the right hand? What's in the left hand? I AM PRETTY I have arrived, the gentle voice has lead the way as I wandered Image The sunset waits My locked-up heart sways back and forth I am still, for tomorrow Times of agitation are faint Your dirty lies
