Mr. Showtime - Hitoshizuku x Yama△

Hey, don’t you see? I can’t make up my mind
It’s all entangled and won’t dare unbind
All alone I stand in a world echoing
(All alone I stand on a stage echoing)
No matter how hard I try to convey
These thoughts, these thoughts a merry-go-round
(‘Round and ‘round, my thought process goes)
I’m falling and failing—I’m slipping
My mind is just so maze-like
Like a cul-de-sac in a labyrinth
And even a dead end…won’t stop my rise
Why try all alone? You have a friend in me don’t you know?
Come and join the fools, let’s have some fun and reach out towards those stars!
Maybe I can’t reach the stars that I have wished upon—idolizing dreams
Seams becoming clear, take the ladder here, Dreamers
I’ve got nothing to fear! I can’t return from here! Even if hopeless…
How reckless this mess is an adventure—yeah!
Take a seat, please, IT’S SHOWTIME!
Hey, hold it! Hold it! I think I…
Forgot my lines, what’s the next line?
I’m lost, alone in this world where
(I’m lost, alone on this stage where)
How come I’m just so pathetic…?
(There’s no sounds of crowds)
Tastes so bitter, I can’t savor
(Crowds burnt by the same stories)
I feel so helpless in the messiness
Am I backtracking? Circling ‘round
The unexpected is so wondrous…
(An unexpected program is wonderful)
…it shines bright, showtime!
(A spice to my bitter life!)
Why try to take shortcuts out of all the fun you’ve rode?
Take a stand now! GO! GO! With a smile as you face life’s roller coaster!
I’m performing poorly it’s all pathetic—dreams I hold too close
Reminded of the sky where fireworks spoke of Challengers
I’ll rise from darkened days! I’ll cry within your care! The sorrow won’t stop me…
The flowers and these songs, comfort me, see?
(The lights and these sounds, comfort me, see?)
So raise your head ‘cause the SHOW MUST GO ON!
The greed of an ordinary man, crawling in his vain pursuits
Fooled by his narcissism; gives his all…gives his all—to the top!
A lie or two is fine; bluff your lines
You jumped the gun? The scenes come undone
Your lies realized! No matter how hard you try—the distant price
No, my heart is unsatisfied!
The words I can’t describe; balloons of unknown types; nostalgic stars in the sky
And travelers take flight across the galactic night sky
(And our dreams carry across the galactic night sky)
No, the story’s not done! No, I have much to do!
Though someday, the curtains will call
So until that day comes…don’t fall!
(When the clock strikes…it’s done!)
It’s the magic of the night, join us in a dance to the Stardust Parade
Listen to our tales, the fun will never end, Dreamers
(Listen to your dreams, play with us again, Dreamers)
I swear I will not forget! I swear I will not cry! ‘Cause this is not goodbye
So reckless this mess is our legend—yeah!
So now look ahead; step-by-step
Take the stage with a “Wonderhoy!”
This is your story now, Mr. Showtime!
