Coaltar of the Deepers

No Thank You

From the album "No Thank You"

It's a bent world, when I hang my head
Iganda keshiki ni, kubi o tarasu nara
歪んだ景色に 首をたらすなら

I'm petrified of everything
Miru mono subete ni kyoufu o kanjiru
見るもの全てに恐怖を感じる

Split open the heavens and come down from above
Ten o saki, oritekuru
天を裂き、降りてくる

Guillotine just for me.
Boku no tame no dantoudai
僕の為の断頭台

Radiating light, a blade to protect tranquility.
Hikari hanatsu, katana ni yasuragi o matomeru
光放つ、刀に やすらぎを求める

Can see hell, can't crawl out.
Jigoku ga mieru, haiagarenai
地獄が見える這い上がれない

Breaking out of the earth, electric chair just for me.
Chi o sakiarawareru, boku no tame no denki isu
地を裂き現れる 僕の為の電気椅子

Got tunnel vision, can't move my gaze.
Shikai wa ubaware, miugoki dekinai
視界は奪われ 見動き出来ない

Can see hell, can't crawl out.
Jigoku ga mieru, haiagarenai
地獄が見える 這い上がれない

"Bro, come this way and take my hand."
"Oniisan kochira, te no naru hou e"
「お兄さんこちら 手のなるほうへ」

No Thank You!
