歌词
I was a ghost
我是游魂
sleeping in the walls
眠于墙角一隅
hiding behind bedposts
藏匿在床柱边
lost in vapid halls
消失于冷寂的厅堂
cold and pale
心灰意冷 面露苍白
trying to keep sane
努力镇定自若
learning to prevail
我学着
against my own brain
与内在的自我抗争
I never fully appeared
我从未完全抛头露面
[01:48.36][02:03.81][03:20.11]cause all the kids thought I was weird
因为所有孩童都把我视为怪物
so i polished off the clocks
所以我把时钟擦亮
and set them all to chime
让它们能滴答作响
and waited at the docks
我在码头等候着
while they sang at the same time
那时人们齐声唱着哀歌
so I made all of the beds
我铺好所有床铺
and dusted all the chairs
掸走每把椅子上的灰尘
I got it in my head
我心里想着
that maybe someone would care
或许有人会察觉我的存在
[01:55.59]But I never fully appeared
我从未完全抛头露面
held my breath in corners
因为所有孩童都把我视为怪物
trying to be brave
我从未完全抛头露面
watching while they mourned her
因为所有孩童都把我视为怪物
a girl that could be saved
角落一隅 我屏住呼吸
kissing all her pictures
努力变得勇敢无畏
wishing she'd survived
我看着人们悼念她的一幕
reading lines from scripture
那个本该得以救赎的女孩
like they did when she was alive
我亲吻她的所有遗照
and i never shed a tear
只愿她能活下来
cause death was all I had feared
读着圣经上的条文
no I never fully appeared
就像当她还活在世上时人们为她所做的一样
