Is there no escape?
I just need one moment
Just one moment to cry
Just one moment to let it go
Please, let me cry! Let me mourn!
I only need one moment to escape
I promise I’ll come back: you won’t even miss me
No, I gotta be strong. I gotta keep going
I gotta keep the poison inside until…until…
Until I get a moment
But until then, I gotta suffer in silence
As the poison sinks deeper into my heart
Hastening the ticking time bomb
I must keep the poison inside; hidden from the world
Until I get a moment to purify my soul with my tears
Because it’s inappropriate to bathe in public
Please let me go, let me escape for a moment
I’m terribly shaken, and the volcano can only take so much right now
So give me a moment to cool down the fire
Give me at least one moment, immediately
Let me escape for a moment, right now
I can only hold on to my pain for so long
Before I fall apart
Just one moment
Please.
