Mer Girl

I ran from my house
我從我的房子中跑出來
That cannot contain me
我無法容身
From the man that I cannot keep
從那個我無法留住的人
From my mother who haunts me
從鬼魂般縈繞著我的母親
Even though she's gone
即使她已經永遠的走了
From my daughter that never sleeps
從我那不願睡去的女兒身邊
I ran from the noise and the silence
從喧鬧與寂靜中逃離
From the traffic on the streets
遠離街上的擁堵
I ran to the treetops
我跑向樹梢
I ran to the sky
跑向天空
out to the lake
跑向湖面
into the rain
跑進雨中
that matted my hair
它們纏結了我的頭髮
And soaked my shoes and skin
浸透了我的鞋與皮膚
Hid my tears, hid my fears
藏起我的眼淚，我的恐懼
I ran to the forest
我跑向森林
I ran to the trees
跑向大樹
I ran and ran
我跑啊跑
I was looking for me
尋找自己
I ran past the churches
跑過教堂
And the crooked old mailbox
跑過扭曲的舊郵箱
Past the apple orchards
跑過蘋果園
And the lady that never talks
還有那個總是沉默的女人
Up into the hills
到達山頂
I ran to the cemetery
我跑向墓地
And held my breath
屏住呼吸
And thought about your death
想到你的死亡
I ran to the lake
跑向湖面
Up into the hills
到達山頂
I ran and I ran
我跑啊跑
I'm looking there still
一直在四處張望
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
我看到破敗的墓碑
The forgotten names
那些被遺忘的名字
I tasted the rain
我品嚐雨水
I tasted my tears
品嚐我的眼淚
I cursed the angels
我詛咒天使
I tasted my fears
我體會我的恐懼
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
而大地給予我腳下的路
And the earth took me in her arms
地球將我擁入懷抱
Leaves covered my face
樹葉掩埋我的臉
Ants marched across my back
螞蟻的隊伍爬過我的脊梁
The black sky opened up
黑色的天空張開
Blinding me
使我失去眼睛
I ran to the forest
我跑向森林
I ran to the trees
我跑向大樹
I ran and I ran
我跑啊跑
I was looking for me
尋找自己
I ran to the lakes
跑向湖面
And up to the hill
到達山頂
I ran and I ran
我跑啊跑
I'm looking there still
一直在四處張望
And I smelt her burning flesh
我嗅到了她的肉在燃燒
Her rotting bones
她腐爛的骨頭
Her decay
她的腐爛
I ran and I ran
我跑啊跑
I'm still running today
直到今天
