How Not To Drown

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
寫一本書，告訴你溺水之中如何保持清醒
And if the words float up to the surface
若一字一句都浮上水面
I'll keep them down
我會將它們壓在水下
This is the first time I know
這是我第一次懂得
I don't want the crown
自己並不需要皇冠
You can take it now
你拿去吧
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
你答應了全世界，把它掛在繩子上帶給我
Stuck in my mouth, into my throat
卡在我的口中，塞入我的喉中
Told me to sing
逼迫我去唱歌
That was the first time I knew
這是我第一次
You can't kill the king
你不可能殺死國王
And those who kiss the ring
那些親吻戒指的人

告訴我
Tell me how
如何更好地面對無邊的黑暗
It's better when the sun goes down
我們永遠不會逃離這小鎮
We will never escape this town
當他抓住了我也不會害怕
I wasn't scared when he caught me
看他讓我懂得了什麼道理
Look what it taught me
告訴我
Tell me how
在沉默之後如何一鳴驚人
It's better if I make no sound
我永遠不會逃避這些質疑
I will never escape these doubts
他們找到我時，我已奄奄一息
I wasn't dead when they found me
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
Watch as they pull me down
寫一章節，告訴你被掩埋之後如何破土而出

當你日漸厭惡你舊時所愛，該如何尋回自己
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
這是我第一次醒悟
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
他們不會善罷甘休
That was the first time I knew
他們會奪走你的勇氣與膽量
They were out for blood
告訴我
And they would have your guts
如何更好地面對無邊的黑暗

我們永遠不會逃離這小鎮
Tell me how
當他抓住了我也不會害怕
It's better when the sun goes down
看他讓我懂得了什麼道理
We will never escape this town
告訴我
I wasn't scared when he caught me
在沉默之後如何一鳴驚人
Look what it taught me
我永遠不會逃避這些質疑
Tell me how
他們找到我時，我已奄奄一息
It's better if I make no sound
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
I will never escape these doubts
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
I wasn't dead when they found me
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
Watch as they pull me down
把我拉下來

他們找到我時，氣數已盡
Watch as they pull me down
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
Watch as they pull me down
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
Pulling me down
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下
Dead when they found me
把我拉下來
Watch as they pull me down
他們找到我時，氣數已盡
Watch as they pull me down
只能眼睜睜地看著他們把我拉下

You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now
