(Gang Bang Son of a gun)
絡めた ふたつの胸の隙間で
欲しがるだけの 乾いたこのカラダが
汚れた指先で 夜を注ぎ込んで
千切れるまで 君を抉じ開けて
浅い眠りの中 剥がれた想いが軋む
何もかも 今は全て 消し去れたら
Sun will rise Close your eyes
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Hold inside
Just HOWLING in the shadows

誰かの 触れた夢の続きを
遮る様に 閉ざしていたココロが
汚れた指先で 何度も抱き合って
宛て度なく君を 手操り寄せて
淡い記憶がまだ 残した傷みに滲む
手に入れた ものが全て 過ちでも
失う度に 覚醒てゆくチカラで
汚れたこの翼が 夜を注ぎ込んで
千切れるまで 君を抉じ開けて
浅い眠りの中 剥がれた想いが軋む
何もかも 今は全て 消し去れたら
Sun will rise. Close your eyes
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Give me sight to see inside
I'm calling
Take a bite night by night
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Hold inside
Just HOWLING in the shadows
