So slowly I'm losing
慢慢地我逝去了
who I've sworn to be.
曾誓言要成为的自己
a promise in pencil
铅笔写下的承诺
that years have made so hard to read.
多年后已看不太清
I've spent my life building walls
一生筑起许多墙壁
brick by brick and bruise by bruise...
一砖一瓦一痕一伤
a birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep.
鸟笼子里的信仰轻声哄我入眠
but time is spinning silk
然而时间纺着丝
that coils ruthlessly;
无情地绕圈
with the devil's patience,
如恶魔般耐心
it binds my hands so quietly
悄悄缠住我双手
that soon it becomes a part of me.
很快陷进身体
so soften these edges and straighten out my tie.
磨光我的棱角捋清我的结
and help me remember
让我慢慢想起
the hope that i have compromised.
曾妥协的希冀
please be a broken record for me.
请变成一张旧唱片在我耳边萦绕
