music & lyrics / Hazuki
above the skin
competing lives praying for a tomorrow that will never come again
masses of cold lies, death, egoism, and love
beyond see-through skin flows red
muffle your voice, strain your ears, can you hear the pain?
i’m living with the smiling face of a child who’s learned of the end
what can i do, at this point
i can’t smile any more than this, any more than now
a wonderful light, the warm sun, a red flower
i don’t want to forget any more than this
so i pray that you’ll be here, that you won’t leave

In UNDERNEATH_FILES VOL. 1, Hazuki says of this song: “This song is a new front, or well… the chorus in particular might surprise people when they hear it. (laugh) But contrastingly, the lyrics are very dark. I think the lyrics are going to perceived differently depending on the listener, so I’ll keep the details a secret. I say, oh, it’s like this, then that becomes an absolute.”
