I was just a little boy when that rock came down.
It hit both my parents when it neared the ground.
I didn't care much, for I thought my luck would improve.
Although with no one around, I'd have nothing to prove.

In Middle School I was kidnapped, I felt rather unlucky.
But that soon changed, for nobody would pay the ransom fee.
The cops came around and then they set me free.
That was the start of my insanity.

High School was Despair for me. She taught us all to kill.
We went around and attacked people until we had our fill.
Once she died they took us away to some islands in the sea.
But the Despair wasn't over, at least not for me.

When I was there I fell in love with a boy just my age.
But when he found out what I did all that he felt was rage.
That Trial was the thing that I regretted most of all.
Surely what I had said would not cause my downfall?

That's what I thought, but then I found that I had got that wrong.
They planned to leave, and two tied me up so I could not come along.
"The Komaeda kid is dangerous," they told the others, so they evaded me.
And so that wall was all that I could ever see.

They let me out eventually, around Trial Number Four.
And around that time was when my love went out the door.
The kid I liked was talentless, so he meant nothing to me.
If he was no good at things, he was no good for me.

I became oh so arrogant, I mocked him, it was true.
But things like that were common here, the others would do it too.
And so things went on just like that, 'til Execution Five.
And now the one who pulled this stunt is no longer alive.

Somehow someone had tricked her, made her seem a fool.
She took a pole and then she went and speared me right on through.
Sure, they managed to save me and I never really died.
But if I had said it was worth it, then I would have lied.

I have always been worthless, other lives mean more than mine.
If I hadn't revealed my plans the two of us would be fine.
But then I went and spoke up, and I ruined my chance.
I guess I never was lucky enough to experience romance.
