My Headphone by Yuu Ikeda
From my headphone, only discord is resounding
I cannot take it off because listening to the rusty sound
is my duty, my punishment
From my headphone,
your sugary voice
doesn't resound
But I cannot take it off
because I expect that someday the voice comes back
Listening to discord, I'm waiting for your voice
to dominate my headphone
