Composing The Future

If you pierced right through me with a knife,
That would be nice, that would be nice.
If you stabbed me with your absurd, pretentious speech,
That would be nice, that would be nice.
Even though I've thrown it in the trash already,
I've been hiding my entire life in the cuffs of my sleeves.
And there it's remained, unable to be burned, not turning into ash.
I want to die, I want to disappear, there's nothing left for me here,
There's no more hope in a life like this
So I'm just standing here in this nightmare,
In a world that bloomed from my choked past.
I'm broken, I'm covered in invisible wounds,
And I know that
They won't be able to scab over.
So I write the future with this lament.
Pretending to be alive while marching toward death,
That's life, isn't it? That's life.
So then why were we born into this world,
In such immature, imperfect bodies
Each one with a heart still beating?
That's right, I tried to get a flower to bloom
By watering it with this crumpled watering can
But there wasn't even a single seed scattered in the dirt.
That's why I slipped away, abandoned it,
The love that's like a plague on this world,
And the depths of a superficial friend's affection are
Thinner than a fingernail.
I don't know anything, I don't want to know anything.
I know that
There's no deeper meaning behind these words anyway,
So I write the future with this lament.
I only have enough wax on this candle to last me one way,
And I'm desperately trying to keep it aflame.
In the dimly lit inch I can see ahead,
Who do those tracks belong to, who's the one who's fallen into a hole?
That's life for you, the life that we have.
Was the very act of being born
A mistake?
I want to die, I want to disappear, there's nothing left for me here,
There's no more hope in a life like this.
So I'm just standing here in this nightmare,
In a world that bloomed from my choked past.
I'm broken, I'm covered in invisible wounds,
And I know that
They won't be able to scab over.
So I write the future with this lament.
I'll write the future with this lament.
"I want to disappear, I want to disappear"
How many times have I said that to myself by now?
Please, give me regrets, so that I can no longer dream.

Switch to Sekai Version
Nightcord at 25:00 Theme song.
Note: For some reason, the name in game is very different from what the title actually is. The more accurate title is "Writing the Future with a Lament".
Also, from what I can tell, there is no Vocaloid version of this song, at least not officially. Just the Sekai version and mafumafu's self cover. A solo Miku version was added later, though.
