Lyrics

It was a fanciful bad joke

born out of a cheap lie.

But just like that, it comes to fruition

with the power of language that believed in light-years.

Strength and weakness, beauty and ugliness, along with all the rest

"That is only the selfish perception of people"

But still, I try to become something else

This feeling must surely be real!

Elegant words that extols what's true-to-life

had become suffocating.

"What kind of person do you want

to be like in the first place?"

I don't have the words for it.

Living in a world surrounded by deception

We must have become Imposters.

Or if you'd prefer, the figurehead of you-know-who

Messing around in a grand parody?

That's just mimicry with the thought of protecting oneself

for the sake of one's own safety,

Or perhaps, it's just the result we sought

for the sake of being accepted by others.

Each of us have our own reason

to pretend to be someone we're not.

Brushing those aside indiscriminately

is just looking to Torment someone!

The existence created by preposterous sentences

had gone beyond our expectations

and Gigantamaxed into a serious situation!

It's an anomalous situation that's too much to handle, making us awfully Timid about it

Suppose that some funny nonsense

Got worked into an armchair theory, that'll just lead to Confusion!

They would call it fishing for creativity through imagination.

I'd say it's just straight-up lying.

Whatever words, manner, and emotions are imbued into it

It's surely just a Disguise coinciding with the real form

Most of the time, aren't they just lurking beneath

the unassuming illusion of normality?

Don't just say "I can't tell them apart anyway".

Even if there's just you believing it for even a tiny bit

The lie of that day

may become the truth someday.

Yet somehow, it's like I'm the bad guy,

so I can't help but feel a bit of ennui

"Hang on, aren't we all more or less just the same?!"

↑That's just out of the question (lol)

We all project a Substitute image of ourselves

to get through every day.

And yet, what's all this talk about "true self"!

Stop kidding around!

It's just duplicity. Nah, more like triplicity, quadruplicity…

I could go on and on with that,

But nah, it's just that

If we don't get to it

It's gonna be a bit tough with all this talk on ideals

But generally speaking, being too honest

would just make one be overwhelmed by defeat!

In that case, telling a bit of lie is just for convenience

We really can't hold on without it.

Whatever pretenses, bluffs, and rumors we put into it

When it all goes well, that becomes

top-notch entertainment!

Reality and the likes would surely follow after that

Isn't that right?

Even if we might be all fools

They say that "Praise a fool, and you may make him useful"

Ah, even if that's the case

There's still gotta be limits~

Jokes can only be used in moderation.

Surely, it's because our existence is imperfect and incomplete

that we lie to patch ourselves up

That's not due to us being sneaky

but because of our fear of being weak.

If anything, we let ourselves succumb to emptiness

It doesn't matter as it's just pointless struggle at this point.

Real or fake, everything is swept up and sung in high praises.

Whatever words, manner, and emotions are imbued into it

It's surely just a Disguise coinciding with the real form

Most of the time, aren't they just lurking beneath

the unassuming illusion of normality?

Don't just say "I can't tell them apart anyway".

Even if there's just you believing it for even a tiny bit

The lie of that day

may become the truth someday.

What is truly real, it's all up to you

To confirm and decide for yourselves.
