1.Make me tremble
2.It comes
3.Drives me mad
4.Then throws me away
5.Into hardship6.
7.Wings
8.Let them flap
9.They’re torn
10.Plucked
11.All so beautifully12.
13.Bells
14.Resound through the city
15.Once again, cruelly
16.Like a ritual cleansing
17.Like washing away sin18.
19.If this is a dream, it’s about time to wake
20.I’ve grown used to loneliness
21.Ah… I lied again
22.So no one would notice
23.So my voice wouldn’t slip out
24.Saying “hold me”25.
26.In a whirlpool of scattered thoughts
27.As I’m about to be swallowed—
28.Please love me until the end
29.Even if I can’t become a perfectly framed painting
30.I want you to paint me
31.In colors only I possess
32.At least paint
33.For me alone34.
35.Trembling
36.It comes
37.Drives me mad
38.Then throws away
39.The page40.
41.Flowers
42.Without ever blooming
43.They scatter
44.So femininely45.
46.So no one will notice
47.Make me sad
48.Then make me happy49.
50.In a sea of shattered ideals
51.As if I’m drowning—
52.Please toss me away until the end
53.The lens that shows me in vivid color
54.Also reveals all the scratches
55.But I want you to cling to me
56.For reasons only I hold
57.At least sing for me alone58.
59.If I could just
60.Blame someone else
61.And live on like that
62.Wouldn’t that be easier?63.
64.Swallowed by the pain of being unusual, and by depression—
65.I want you to walk
66.Along my personal shore
67.Through days too disgraceful
68.To show anyone—today, tomorrow
69.I want you to paint them
70.In colors only I possess
71.At least hang that painting
72.In your room73.
74.Emptiness lingers
75.Swims through my veins
76.I dance in a loop of anxiety
77.Please forgive me78.
79.The bell rings again
80.In a cold room
81.My shadow remains
82.Will you come looking for it?83.
84.I want you to paint me in colors only I possess
