Night Devil
[of the Futari no series]
This again?
You’re gonna appear to me again?
You should know now, things like you don’t frighten me
In the night, all by myself at 3 am
I’m writing a letter no one will ever see
-
If despair was all we’ve ever spoken about
Then the aura you project would have fit perfectly
"I will make meals out of things like human beings!”
So I’ve heard so many times now
-
Oh, to laugh and to cry as if it were natural
I wished to live like that
But I can’t, so instead I’m right here just as usual
With the night devil I’m talking to
-
The thing is,
There isn’t any point to that wish
Because if this here was a healthy life I lived
Songs and drawings, poems, even you, all would be
When you think about it, completely worthless
-
You don’t show too often what you’re feeling, inside
But I realized, doesn’t a night devil have worries too?
So tonight, for once, I think I’ll listen to you
After all, we’re here together, right?
-
When I laugh and I cry, it’s all artificial
Acting like I’m normal, myself
I can’t tell which is which, so I’m right here as usual
With the night devil I’m talking to
-
I don’t get praised much either way
For whatever I do or achieve
Don’t want to live a life where everything’s
Been decided for me
Say, you know, when I’m looking at you, night devil
I cannot help but to think somehow it’s me that I see
-
Until the night is over with let’s talk, shall we?
-
I don’t mind, like I said, I don’t mind it, really
This is how it’s always been
Lalala lala lala
-
The despair and the sadness, the time that passed
Eventually, I walked all alone
Even so, there was something that’s splendid in that
And every night I find I’m talking with you
Oh, to laugh and to cry as if it were natural
I wished to live like that
Too bad, it will never come to pass after all
So I just go to sleep again today too
