Talk to Her

It all comes and goes in waves
一切都隨浪潮漲起落去
Everything looks the same
一切都一成不變
The cornfields, the cows, the flies, the coughing
麥田奶牛飛蟲咳嗽聲
The musky air that fills our rows and permeates
麝香味的空氣中瀰漫著你我的誓言
Even through the ash-infested vents from the fires
即便大火過後通風口中滋生著灰燼
Eating away at barks of trees like this moment
就像此刻樹木的表層被一點點侵蝕著
Eating away at the last dose of happiness lingering on the dust of our bones
吞噬了我們骨肉中殘留的最後一縷幸福

The other night, wrapped in crispy motel sheets
另一夜蜷縮在旅館輕柔的被單中
I clenched my body and pretended I was an embryo in my mothers womb
縮成一團彷彿我還是母親子宮中的胚胎
It was the only source of warmth and comfort that could sing me to sleep
那是我唯一能尋覓的溫暖和慰藉如歌聲使我入眠

But now, I see the sheep out the window, on green pastures
現在我注視著窗外翠綠牧場上的羊群
I hope they have water
希望它們有充足的水源
I sometimes imagine myself being reincarnated as one
有時我幻想著自己也轉世成為它們的一員
And jumping over these low wired fences to freedom
然後越過低矮的柵欄奔向自由
I wonder how far I could make it without a human catching me
我遐思著若沒有人類的追趕我可以逃離多遠
Taming me, bringing me back to their living painting
將我馴服帶回他們的牧場
A life to look at as they wash the dishes
一成不變的注視人類洗盤子
Smeared with my mothers milk that they stole from me
玷污它們從我這偷走的來自母親的乳汁

Its raining, finally
甘霖終於降臨
And the van is slowly drifting into the other lane
貨車緩緩駛入另一條岔道
Eddie is driving
艾迪開著車
Everyone else is asleep, sometimes coming up for air
所有人都陷入夢鄉偶爾到窗外透氣
Their heads poking up like groundhogs before sinking back into their holes
他們像將要回到洞穴中的土撥鼠探出頭來

But its not all dark and grim
但也色並非只有黑暗和陰鬱
There are moments of hope
也不乏充滿希望的時分
They come to me when its quiet
當夜深人靜他們到我身邊來
They come to me when everyone is synced in their levels of happy
當他人忙於自己的快樂時他們來到我身邊
Which doesnt happen so often
這事不常發生
But when it does, its nice
但這感覺不錯

I wonder if well look back and think that these miles of cornfields
我想我們是否會回首注視那一望無垠的麥田
These anguished breaths, these forced smiles, these moments when were gone
當我們離開時苦悶的氣息強裝的笑容
The momentary calms
暫時獲得的冷靜
And the thousands of little bugs pressed against our windshield
無數的飛蟲刻印在了車玻璃前
Were all worth it
這便是我們的值得擁有的一切

I dont know exactly where Im supposed to be
不知我到底該身在何處
Its a hollow thought that takes control of me
空洞的想法將我佔據

Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
Dont stop (Giving up)
不要停止
