歌词
Death is real
死亡真的存在
Someone's there and then they're not
有的人原本还在 但一会就消失了
And it's not for singing about
这不值得歌唱
It's not for making into art
也不值得被创作进艺术
When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb
当真正的死亡闯入屋内 一切的诗句都变得愚蠢
When I walk into the room where you were
当我走进你曾在的房间
And look into the emptiness instead
看着取而代之的空虚
All fails
所有都没有作用了
My knees fail
我的膝盖
My brain fails
我的大脑
Words fail
连言语也是
Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw
用泪水包裹自己 紧张得发痛
I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail
我走下楼 到房外 还有你的信
A week after you died a package with your name on it came
你去后一周 一个写着你名字的包裹到达
And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret
里面装着给我们女儿的礼物 是你秘密买的
And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed
我倒下了 在恸哭的前一步
A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now
几年前她背去学校的背包
You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known
那时你瞻望你即将到来不得不知的未来
Deep down would not include you
深渊不会包括有你
Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down
即使认为自己正抓着将要落下的悬崖
Being swallowed into a silence that is bottomless and real
忍受着这寂静 如此无尽 如此真实
It's dumb
如此愚蠢
And I don't want to learn anything from this
我不能希望从中学到什么
I love you
我爱你如初
