“Zenless Zone Zero” Astra Yao. Original Me (English Cover)

[Verse 1]
Stars fade out in neon nights
All I see are twisted lies
Artificial life—
Input simple, output dry
Thoughts decline, time’s split apart
Like shattered glass across the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything I crave
Feels most dear right as it slips away
Joy and ache replay
Then desire drags me down again

[Chorus]
No more letting vows decay
No more hearts that drift astray
This life’s unscripted, unrehearsed
But every move—I choose it first
Let my flaws be seen and stay
Let true beauty find its way
The self I know so well
Still waits to be unveiled

No more kindness cast aside
No more noise to cloud my mind
This life's unscripted, unrehearsed
But every choice—I make it first
I won’t hide mistakes or bend—
The real me stands before you, friend
The self I’ve come to know
Is waiting to be shown

[Verse 2]
Words fall flat and lost in air
Emptied phrases, no soul there
Just a line or two
That might be honest, might be true
My muse breaks down, no place to go
Drowned in pride and shallow show

[Pre-Chorus]
All I’ve lost before—
Did I ever see it slip through the door?
Gone, erased, and torn
Maybe I was never thankful more

[Chorus]
No more letting vows decay
No more hearts that drift astray
This life’s unscripted, unrehearsed
But every move—I choose it first
Let my flaws be seen and stay
Let true beauty find its way
The self I know so well
Still waits to be unveiled

No more kindness cast aside
No more noise to cloud my mind
This life's unscripted, unrehearsed
But every choice—I make it first
I won’t hide mistakes or bend—
The real me stands before you, friend
The self I’ve come to know
Is waiting to be shown

[Bridge – Instrumental]

[Final Chorus]
No more smearing what is kind
No more hope that breaks with time
The future’s wild and undefined
But every step—I make it mine
Let my flaws be seen and stay
Let true beauty find its way
The self I know so well
Still waits to be unveiled

No more kindness cast aside
No more noise to cloud my mind
This life's unscripted, unrehearsed
But every choice—I make it first
I won’t hide mistakes or bend—
The real me stands before you, friend
A voice inside still speaks
It longs for change, believes—
The self I’ve come to know
Will someday be received
