心ここに在らず [KokoroKokoniArazu] [English translation]

This spreading world

Seems to glitter, and I want to cry.

Every time it twinkles,

Being there, I just kind of...

I've got nowhere to go back to again,

That's me for you.

I burned those withered flowers.

Back to my burning body that ate the dropping temperature,

Come back, into this birdcage.

Again, children of god, one by one

Hello boy, back off.

That karma that vanishes faster than words,

It turned to ash, and I knew.

We met in REM sleep,

And that's ok I guess.

Maybe I'll say I fell in love

I wanna keep playing this stupid "concentration" game

Over and over again

And when you look up, I'll be standing there

Despite having died the day before

Allowed to swim away, and I'm still drinking water. That's me for you.

It seems I left my heart when I came.

Unnoticed, love became just another compulsion.

Come back, and if I'm still wearing this mask

Even if it comes off, I'll draw the curtains

Hello boy, I want to hate you.

That unforgivable, leaking intelligence

Was never important at all.

You don't even know the concept of physical contact

And that's ok I guess

I've got nowhere to go back to again. That's me for you.

I burned those withered flowers.

Back to my burning body that ate the dropping temperature.

Hello boy, I want to hate you.

Under my skin, the prismatic eyes never stop.

Wherever I'm going today

I don't even know the concept of physical contact.

Hello boy, I had no idea

That I never even needed words.

I'm useless.

If only I was as necessary as you are.

And that's ok I guess, but...
