I Need No Limelight

Kuroko :

"I stay in faded light                                                             
darkness is my sole property
I hold the center of the backdrop                                                     
the motion is my accord

but still...need no limelight

the props I hold are worth your act                                                      
without it, the stage - abrupt and calm                                       
hold the strings of every puppet                                                           
or else it's cold and dead

but still...need no limelight"
