No Longer Human

**(Verse 1)** Woke up again with these bandages tight, Another failed rope, another wasted night. The world spins on in its beautiful lies, But I see the cracks where the darkness hides. Crab for dinner, a smile on my face, While inside I'm plotting my elegant escape. They call me a genius, a lazy disgrace— Just a hollow man in this endless race. **(Pre-Chorus)** Chuuya's yelling, all short and loud, Gravity boy thinks he can pull me down. But touch me once and your gift falls apart, Null and void, straight from the heart. **(Chorus)** I'm No Longer Human, can't feel a thing, Dancing on ledges, waiting for wings. Double suicide? Only if it's with you, A perfect ending, dramatic and true. Laugh while I fall, wave as I go, In this cruel book, I'm the fool of the show. No pain, no joy, just beautiful blue— Come join me, darling, in the nothing too. **(Verse 2)** Atsushi's tiger eyes look up so bright, Kid thinks there's hope in this endless fight. I tease and I train him, then vanish away, 'Cause mentors like me were never meant to stay. Port Mafia shadows still whisper my name, Mori's little pawn in their deadly game. But the Agency's couch is where I lay claim— Sleeping through missions, dodging the blame. **(Pre-Chorus)** Books full of sorrow, a river of blood, I read every page like it did me no good. If life is a joke, then death's the punchline, I'll laugh till I'm gone, till the stars align. **(Chorus)** I'm No Longer Human, can't feel a thing, Dancing on ledges, waiting for wings. Double suicide? Only if it's with you, A perfect ending, dramatic and true. Laugh while I fall, wave as I go, In this cruel book, I'm the fool of the show. No pain, no joy, just beautiful blue— Come join me, darling, in the nothing too. **(Bridge)** Maybe tomorrow I'll finally succeed, A quiet grave under cherry trees. Or maybe I'll stay for one more stupid day, Watching you all throw your lives away. Bandages unwind, the mask starts to slip, The real Dazai's just a bottomless pit... **(Final Chorus - slower, softer then building)** I'm No Longer Human... or maybe I am, Just a man who got tired of playing pretend. If death won't take me, then life is the cage, I'll flirt with the end on this crumbling stage. So here's to the void, and the friends I annoy, To the pain that I hide in a mischievous boy. One last smile as the curtain falls— See you on the other side... after all. *(Outro - spoken softly over fading music)* "Odazai... signing off. Don't cry for me. Find a prettier way to go."
