Caffeine (English Translation) – Kiro Akiyama 

English Translation:
Caffeine – Kiro Akiyama

I recognize the wistful scent too much
That I can’t remember
How many times I’ve cowered away
Down the drain went the insides of my heart

When I close and open my eyes
The next night after I spilled lemonade down the sink
Is creeping up to my side

Those feelings that never come true
Drop the knob to the bathroom
And are still yelling about these days
I’ve acquainted solitude

Hear me out, my last plea
Ten seconds is enough, tell me about myself

The wistful scent suffocated me
That I can’t remember
How many times I’ve died alone
On the pillow collapsed the lights of my heart

I concealed this illness for too long
That it can’t be drowned out
With the innocence of children’s laughter
Distortions embraced that happiness from behind

The night I should’ve let
The lemonade run down the sink
A piercing pain as if it’s laughing at my empty self
My eyes turn cold

The world with everything in order
Threw a cloth over “definiteness”
The reality that I cried alone wasn’t insane*

Hear me out, my last plea
You can cut me open, so
Let everyone have the same thing flow*

I spilled lemonade
Down the sink
