歌词
My life started slow
我的生命
In a town of idle minds
缓慢地开始于一个懒散的城镇里
Where daydreams filled the space
这地方简单的日常之间的空隙
Between our simple dramas
全部被白日梦所填满
And my mom was strange
我妈妈看起来很奇怪
But she'd always liked to sew
但她一直很喜欢缝纫
And my clothes smelled like
而我所有的衣服闻起来
The room I was born in
都很像我出生的那间屋子
And my dad calm
我爸爸很冷静
Never used two words when one'd do
能说一个字绝不说两个字
And my brother's hands were mischief bent
我哥哥的双手破损扭曲
With no will to stop 'em
但没人能阻止这破损发生
And on the whole
总体上说
We lived simply and day-to-day
我们日复一日地，简单地，生活着
Our fears were trivial
我们的恐惧微不足道
They always died with every sunset
它们总是随着日落逝去
我十二岁的时候
When I was twelve
我的恶疾终于被暴露于阳光之下
My affliction came to light
我被告知，我听到的一些声音
And I was told that some things I heard
其实只存在于我的脑子里
Were only there in my head
但我分辨不出
But I couldn't tell
什么是真实，什么又是虚假
Which were real and which were now
而且有一个问题在我所做的每一件事中持续迫近着我
And the question loomed over all I did
那就是，我到底该相信什么
Whether I could trust it
我猜，随着时间流逝
And I guess over time
我已经在这恶疾的重压下崩溃了
It became too much
所以我就被送走了
And I was sent away
这是出自我妈妈的命令
At my mom's behest
因为她逐渐地开始害怕我啦
Cause she'd grown to fear me
现在我住在北边
住在为破碎的头脑修建的房子里（译注：破碎的头脑即有精神异常的人）
Now I live up north
而我的爸爸会来看我
In the house for the broken heads
只要他负担得起
And my father comes and visits me
夜里的有些时候
Whenever he can afford it
那些声音安静了下来的时候
Sometimes at night
我发现我希望我还是被想念的
When the voices quiet down
而且希望他们还没有忘记我
I find I hope that I am missed
And that they haven't forgot me
