Fire Bird
The cyan bird flies out of the ring of fire
Feather ends with ashes
dark eyes sparkling
What is weakness and what is freedom
Are we only allowed to leave
When the flame burns to the whole body
sparks fall
Everyone is in the ring of fire
Shadows have nowhere to hide
The flame of the feather will remind you
remind you
under numbness
ability to perceive pain
The bird chirped rapidly
Pierced the dark night
is miserable
faster than a sound
ear starts to bleed
But we will always look at this cyan bird
we will watch its pain
Watch it fly out of fire
Watch half of its body turns to ashes
Another half glows with gold
How about us?
Where is us?
oh feather
oh my feathers
cyan feather
i want to kiss you
从火里飞出来的鸟
青色的鸟从火圈里飞出来
羽毛的尾端沾着灰烬
乌黑的眼睛闪着火光
什么是软弱,什么是自由
火焰烧至全身的时候
我们才被允许离开吗
火花降落
所有人都在火圈里
影子无处藏身
羽毛的火焰将提醒你
提醒你
在麻木之下
还有感知痛苦的能力
那只鸟急促地叫着
刺透了黑色的夜晚
是凄惨
一声比一声急促
耳朵开始流血
但我们将始终看着这只青色的鸟
我们将看着它的痛苦
看着它飞出大火
看着它一半的身体变成灰烬
一半的身体闪着金光
我们呢?
我们在哪里?
哦羽毛
哦我的羽毛
青色的羽毛
我想亲吻你
