そばに来て 崩れゆく抑制
ボクを怖がらないで

飛べない鳥が夢見た空
交わってく色 それは違う red

ドアを叩く音にボクは耳を塞いだ
叩いてるのはキミ? それとも他の?

Will your lips taste the kiss of death?

ダーリン 運命が血管を走るよ
動き始めた世界 愛?
誰よりも溶け合いたいよダーリン
ボクを怖がらないで kiss me now

キミを味わいたい そんなボクは変?
一人じゃそれは感じられない

抱きしめ合うのは傷を塞ぐから
ボクの唇がその息を塞ぐ

Will your lips taste the kiss of death?

ダーリン 鼓動が指の先まで
溶け出す気持ちは何? ねぇ?
そばに来て 崩れゆく抑制
ボクを怖がらないで kiss me now, my love

死は逝くときと似た
感覚とキミの味がした

Did your lips taste the kiss of death?

ダーリン 運命が血管を走るよ
動き始めた世界 愛?
誰よりも溶け合いたいよダーリン
ボクを怖がらないで
キミを味あわせて kiss me now
