No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week
没米下肚，所有的钱早在上星期就已花光
I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats
我还不能离开，只能睡在地下室，做着说唱的节拍
Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep
热茶一杯，已到了凌晨四点，我仍然无法安睡
It's all on repeat, so bad I can taste it while it eats me
一切正在周而复始，在它吞噬我之时，我得以一尝苦涩

How can I sleep if I don't have dreams?
尽失虚梦，焉能往赴周公之宴？
I just have nightmares
萦缠不去者，恐唯梦魇矣
How can it be?
此般恶景邪象，又萌以何法？
I still believe something is out there
顾望环物，终觉异象···

Some part of me feels a little bit naked and empty
我身体的某处开始感觉赤裸而空虚
I'm stuck underneath a few dirty old blankets to comfort me
身裹数层旧毯子，只求聊以慰己

And there's a light, and I can see why I'm still alive
曙光柔芒几缕，许己以一窥存活之由
Mommy won't lie, cause if she did, I would've died
母上信口几句，葬己以所言非虚之名
All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down
闲碌交接几载，判己以一倒不起之势
Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time
惫倦度夜几回，问己以辗转无眠之因···
