Haikei Doppelganger

Featuring GUMI

"The boy lost himself."


"Greetings, hello, I'm your other self"
What kind of joke is this? I try to rub my eyes
Two shadows lengthen,
And, again, the curtain rises

"You said you wish there were another you"
"Such a sincere wish is what called me here"
I suppose that's what I wished for:
An agent to stand in for me, through all my hardships

Forget about the method, give me the results
A meaningless, insignificant price to pay
Listen, there's something
More important than this, y'know
I'm all ears
"Yes, I'll do it, I'll do it,
I'll do whatever you want!
After all, I'm your other self,"
The messiah says with a chuckle

Dear doppelgänger,
Who are you, you?
Oh, as it's all intersecting with chaos,
Who am I?
Listen, #0 and #1 don't exist
There's no grounds for a proof of any kind
Dear doppelgänger,
You are who, who?
I bet my corroded existence
Will go unnoticed by the world
The ringing won't stop
I won't stop waking up
As the miracle of reincarnation
Finishes dyeing the insane correct answer
Oom-pah-pah!

Somehow, something seems off on Monday
The pieces of coherency start crumbling away
And grow suspicious of me
"Who the heck are you!?" they ask

Wait a second
I don't know what happened yesterday, nor what I said
Thus, before I know it, my shadow starts to dissolve
What even am I?
Hey, please give me back my life

"Terribly sorry, but I'm quite comfortable here, like this"
"You know you
Don't belong here anymore, don't you?"
"Come on, if something gets stolen from you, you should steal it back, right?
Now it's your turn,"
The invader says with a chuckle

Dear doppelgänger,
Who are you, you?
Oh, as it's all intersecting with chaos,
Who am I?
Well, is that how it is? It is, isn't it?
There can only be one person in the driver's seat of someone's life
Dear doppelgänger,
You are who, who?
Before that one teardrop that
Spilled over completely dries up,
I don’t care who it is, I don't care what it is,
Please just give me a vessel
As the insane correct answer finishes dyeing
Oom-pah-pah!

PRAY
That's the never-ending
Chain of human karma
PAIN
They devote themselves to each other,
Forgive each other,
And are satisfied with that
PRAY
The missing piece,
The pain of worthlessness,
Hope and love too
PAIN
They trust themselves to each other
And are reborn, replacing themselves
It's their initiation
PRAY
"Since I'm better at living your life than you are,"
PAIN
"You, too, have to go save the next person who needs it!"
PRAY
"You already know what you have to do, don't you?"
PAIN
Please, somebody give me a miracle

Dear doppelgänger,
Who are you, you?
Oh, as it's all intersecting with chaos,
Who am I?
I won't stop now, I can't go back
Greetings, hello,
I'm your--

Dear doppelgänger,
That's, that's me
Even if my corroded existence
Would go noticed by the world
It still won't stop ringing
I won't stop waking up
The miracle of reincarnation
Will finish dyeing the insane correct answer
Do a good job!
Oom-pah-pah!

"Greetings, hello, I'm your other self"
