[Lyric] ​admit defeat (slpide)

[Intro: Japanese voice 1]

[Verse 1: sélpide]
I’ve been told speaking in riddles
Is survival at best
Opposite of those dignified
By forgiving the rest
But when my name is merely thought
Doubt trembles in my chest

[Pre-Chorus: sélpide]
I am not a hero
I won’t be, I never were
I am not a hero, oh, so how comes I still pretend?

[Chorus: sélpide]
Was the tower burnt by chance?
Or was it doomed from the first brick put with my hands?
Have I always been this weak?
Why is it so hard for me to admit defeat?
[Verse 2: sélpide]
I've been taught that sacrificing
Is a measure of worth
Better than to dare to picturе
A future stronger self
But I don't want to diе then win
I'd rather die victoriously

[Pre-Chorus: sélpide]
I am not a hero
I won’t be, I never were
I am not a hero, oh, so how comes I still pretend?

[Chorus: sélpide]
Was the tower burnt by chance?
Or was it doomed from the first brick put with my hands?
Have I always been this weak?
Why is it so hard for me to admit defeat?

[Bridge: sélpide]
Might at least enjoy the fall
So, for once, I’ll give it my all, hm
I’ll be selfish
Can’t save a single soul
It’s not my job
I guess I should’ve known
[Pre-Chorus: sélpide]
I am not a hero
I was born a sorcerer
I am not a hero, oh, so I’m allowed to make mistakes

[Chorus: sélpide]
Was the tower burnt by chance?
Even if it wasn’t I still deserve to decide for myself
Have I always been this weak?
What a pleasure that it is to admit defeat
I admit defeat, I admit defeat
What a joyous time to not be fit
I admit defeat, I admit defeat

[Outro: Japanese voice 2]
