1.I passed the days lining up excuses
2.For my emotions that burst like bubbles3.
4.The lights in this city know nothing of conflict
5.I lied, saying you were the only one6.
7.I dance, still not wanting to believe it
8.I keep lining up the words in an attempt to show it9.
10.Can you not see me? Can you not hear this voice of mine?
11.Dancer in the dark
12.I’m sure even my silhouette is transparent, its form misshapen
13.But
14.At least I can scream until my voice gives out
15.Even as I cling to it desperately, it will be my proof
16.See? I’m just like a ghost17.
18.All this time I’ve resented the brightness
19.While my shadow kept growing, as if trying to tell me something20.
21.Then a single phrase you made in passing
22.Made me want to cry23.
24.The things I wish to hold dear are spilling out
25.Words I wish I could write down just as they appear26.
27.Can you not see me? Can you not hear this voice of mine?
28.Dancer in the dark
29.I’m sure even my silhouette is transparent, its form misshapen, but
30.That’s why I’ll keep screaming and struggling
31.Running barefoot all the way. So notice me already!
32.Give me your answer!33.
34.Don’t make a fool of this heart…35.
36.The gray city laughs scornfully
37.My steps grow heavier
38.I strain my voice
39.Screaming, struggling
40.Running barefoot, on and on
41.To keep from changing, to keep from giving up
42.Simply writing down word after word43.
44.Can you not see me? Can you not hear this voice of mine?
45.Dancer in the dark
46.I’m sure even my silhouette is transparent, its form misshapen
47.But
48.At least I can scream until my voice gives out
49.Even as I cling to it desperately, it will be my proof
50.See? I’m just like a ghost
