GACKT Lyrics
Kalmia 僕はただ歪んでゆく 街を遠くから眺めていた 音は何も聞こえない 首のない人形がたくさん笑ってる 宇宙へ還っていくすべては…
Maria sabitsuita kyoukai no maria ni inori o sasage hikari mo ubaw…
Marmalade Kono machi ni kite hajimete no nichiyoubi Wake mo nai…
Papa lapped a pap lopped 溺れることさえ忘れてしまうように 「狂わせて...」 シーツの中で僕の引き金に爪を立てている 燃える月をナゾルこんな夜は…
Sayonara SAYONARA Sayonara ... aishita taisetsu na hito Koboreta nam…
Secret Garden 硝子の中に浮いた 僕の瞳はただ君を見てた 優しさの破片も見えない 繰り返される信号が 口元にだけ愛を語り続け 僕は体…
seven So I'm a sleth and you're the one who try…
Uncontrol 現れ...震え...踊り狂えばいい 幼い亜麻色の夢 寄り添う異なる追憶 揺られて消えるアリエス あの日に映った僕が嗤う …
