Trick

Words and music by Yukihiro

no sympathy boys test you

you are making a breaking smile
you try to stay in your shell, but
you know, it's meaningless

test yourself you will know you will know
you are incapacity

without hesitation, boys test you
without hesitation, boys trick you
without hesitation, boys watch you
without hesitation , boys wake up

you only stand motionless
you are making a breaking smile
you try to stay in your shell, but
you know, it's meaningless

test yourself you will know you will know
you are incapacity

boys, boys test you
boys, boys trick you
boys, boys watch you
boys, boys wake up

you only stand motionless
you are making a breaking smile
you try to stay in your shell, but
you know, it's meaningless

test yourself you will know you will know
you are incapacity
