Song is by: Seablove
Originally sung by: Namine Ritsu
English lyrics by: LinMeringue (me)

So I kept the chorus (yomitai yo mitai) in Japanese because of the word play. I couldn't replicate it in English, and I feel like it holds a lot of value in the song so I kept it.
LYRICS (PLEASE CREDIT IF YOU USE THEM!)
Cutting away,
Tearing out the page
Til her mind decays
The girl just-
People have hidden their lies
on wooden shelves.
Those tales that lay in darkness inside
the belly of the beast.
A girl happened upon
an appalling murder scene,
and at that scene a black cat
told her to listen well.
Already caught in the hold
of the written word.
Determined
to hunt down all of the Stomach Books.
So she went
killing people with a certain mark,
and read the pages in her deranged haze.
Cutting away,
Tearing out the page.
Till her mind decays.
The girl just wanted to read.
Neurons light up
With lust for knowledge.
An Intense desire
for what has yet to be revealed.
Yomitai yo mitai yomitai yo mitai tatata
Yomitai yo mitai yomitai yo mitai
“If the words written inside
my books could kill
how amusing that would be,
the thought gives me chills.”
Spoke the boy responsible
for these gruesome fantasies.
The bestselling author shot her
a mysterious grin.
“I’ve grown weary of books becoming commonplace.”
He said as,
a look of sadness flashed across his face.
“In order
For you to read my novels I would
not frown upon a few human lives in sacrifice.
I desire the finest reader in the world”
Manipulated,
And fascinated.
For the sake of turning the pages
She cut them all into pieces
Her hands are bloodstained
From the lives she’s taken
Still pursuing the printed word
until the very end.
“Have you not noticed it yet
The last book you haven’t read
Resides inside of your very own body my dear.”
Sweat starts pouring down her neck
as she grips tightly onto the blade-
And then
A sudden sharp pain.
As she trembles on the floor
And her vision is fading
A stomach book of her very own
Is brought into the light
She opens the page
Catching sight of words
A mere two lines of text met her eyes
And this is what she read:
“Congratulations for you are truly the finest reader.
The true conclusion to the saga lies
in my body.”
The boy opened up his arms wide
Standing, standing, standing,
And smiling.
Yomitai yo mitai yomitai yo mitai ta ta ta
Yomenai mienai yomenai mienai
