Original Kanji
無機質な顔　安らぎなど知らないから 罅割れた顔　潤いなど知らないから ソレダケ

巫山戯た顔が哂う 場違いな泣き言を並べる

幾つもの MASK ココロ現す PERSONA I can’t see how I am 有り触れた FACE 剥ぎ取られたら 打ち明ける FACT 道化師が踊る MASQUERADE I can’t see who I am すべて見せ掛けの私だから

錆び付いた顔　喜びなど知らないから 凍てついた顔　温もりなど知らないから ソレダケ

歪な顔が叫ぶ 行き過ぎた驚きを浮かべる

幾つもの MASK ココロ偽る PERSONA I can’t see how I am 仮初の FACE 疑われたら 晒される FACT 終わりを告げる MASQUERADE I can’t see who I am 誰も答えを知らないから

失くした顔が嘆く 形ある希望を探してる

I can’t see who I am 誰も答えを知らないから

Romanized Version

English Translation
My inhuman face knows nothing of tenderness. My cracked face knows nothing of moisture. That’s all.

My joking face sneers, Listing out-of-place complaints.

Those numerous masks are like personas revealing my heart. I can’t see how I am. When my mundane face was torn off, I opened my heart. It’s a fact. The clown dances at the masquerade. I can’t see who I am, because everything I am is just for show.

My rusty face knows nothing of happiness. My frozen face knows nothing of warmth. That’s all.

My twisted face screams And surprise, brought about by going too far, rises to the surface.

Those numerous masks are like personas falsifying my heart. I can’t see how I am. When my transient face was doubted, Facts were exposed. They marked that the end was near. I can’t see who I am, because nobody knows the answer.

My lost face grieves. I search for tangible hope.

I can’t see who I am, because nobody knows the answer.
