Lyrics from Animelyrics.com
Like constellations, nebulae, planets
Scattered here and there, diffuse, sprinkled
Like eternal cells
Scattered here and there, diffuse, sprinkled
Just like a pointillist painting
Like the painting technique of spattering[1]

Or possibly you could think of it like this:
I am that which exists in accordance with an imaginary book
I am the one who exists in accordance with an illusory publication[2]
I continue to change in accordance with the Book of Imaginary Beings[3]
I am the one who transforms in your dreams[4]

[1] The word at the beginning of this line in the kanji lyrics, "gahou" ("painting technique") is not sung--it's evidently just there to disambiguate what sense "spattering" is meant in.

[2] Japanese has two verbs for "to be," "aru" for inanimate objects and "iru" for animate objects. (This is an oversimplification, but it's good enough for the purposes of this footnote.) The speaker refers to themselves using "aru" in the second line of this stanza, as if they were an inanimate object, while in the third line they use "iru." The shift from "I am that which..." to "I am the one who..." is intended to reflect this distinction. On a side note, the second line may be a bit of a call-back to Watashi Kuusou Seimeitai.

[3] The words "genjuu jiten" used in this line are the Japanese title of Jorge Luis Borges's book Manual de zoología fantástica (1957), translated into English as the Book of Imaginary Beings in 1969.

[4] Literally, "I am the one who becomes in your dreams," and if the grammar of that sounds off to you, it's because the original Japanese is grammatically weird as well, using a particle that doesn't typically go along with the verb for "to become."
