{{Lyrics|
Nose
Eyes
Ear
The sound of the brain dying

嗚呼　一つ覚えてほしい
其処の命
感じる間も無く
罪の臭い灰と成り散る

In vice
瞳も死んでるのはいつもの事なんだろ
私は聖人なんです
手段は選ばない
You the world
間近に迫った Serial killer
アスファルトに叩きつけ
生きながら死んでる様が
You the world

君よりも熟れてる
誰よりも熟れてる
煌めきの中で産まれた
The sound of the brain dying
君よりも熟れてる
誰よりも熟れてる
The sound of the brain dying

嗚呼　一つ覚えてほしい
其処の命
感じる間も無く
罪の臭い灰と成り散る

感じる事
出来ない心
それらが示してる
人に在らず
此処にも一人
感じる事の出来ない{{Ellipsis}}

Nose
Eyes
Ear
The sound of the brain dying

Aa　Hitotsu oboete hoshii
Soko no inochi
Kanjiru ma mo naku
Tsumi no nioi hai to nari chiru

In vice
Hitomi mo shinderu no wa itsumo no koto nandaro
Watashi wa seijin nandesu
Shudan wa erabanai
You the world
Majika ni sematta Serial killer
Asufaruto ni tatakitsuke
Ikinagara shinderu sama ga
You the world

Kimi yori mo ureteru
Dare yori mo ureteru
Kirameki no naka de umareta
The sound of the brain dying
Kimi yori mo ureteru
Dare yori mo ureteru
The sound of the brain dying

Aa　Hitotsu oboete hoshii
Soko no inochi
Kanjiru ma mo naku
Tsumi no nioi hai to nari chiru

Kanjiru koto
Dekinai kokoro
Sorera ga shimeshiteru
Hito ni arazu
Koko ni mo hitori
Kanjiru koto no dekinai…

Nose
Eyes
Ear
The sound of the brain dying

Ah　There is one thing I want you to remember
That life
Without any time to feel
Turns into ashes, reeking of sin and scatters

In vice
Those dead beat eyes are also the same as always, right?
I am a saint
I do whatever it takes
You the world
The serial killer is getting close
Smashing it on the asphalt
Living like you're dead
You the world

More ripened than you
More ripened than anyone else
Born in the scintillation
The sound of the brain dying
More ripened than you
More ripened than anyone else
The sound of the brain dying

Ah　There is one thing I want you to remember
That life
Without any time to feel
Turns into ashes, reeking of sin and scatters

To feel
The heart cannot
They are showing signs
Inhumane
Here lies another being
Incapable of feeling{{Ellipsis}}
