Yaneura no Shoujo

Within a dimly lit room is a girl in the attic, bound by chains
The world she sees through the window is a fantasy twisted in azure...

Within a dimly lit room is a girl in the attic, kept by a madman
The moonlight that filters in guides her small fingertips...

The only toys given to the girl
Were a white canvas and paint in three colors

The girl painted day after day
Because everything is within the white canvas
The girl painted day after day
As long as she had paint in three colors, she could draw everything...

The girl was only given
The minimal amount of food required to keep her in the attic
A white canvas and paint in three colors
The girl’s heart was within the white canvas...

The white canvas is the girl’s world
She could go anywhere, she could attain anything
Innocent desires buried the canvas...

“I...want friends...”

The clock tells of midnight
The closed world of the girl eventually
Harbored god in left hand...the devil in right hand....

The madman who noticed a change
Tightened his grip on the girl’s neck as if his life depended upon it

“You’re making such a sad face...what’s wrong, papa?
I know...I’ll paint your happiness for you, papa.”

Within a dimly lit room, in a dust-covered attic is...

...a red canvas and empty paint tubes...
