How Not To Drown

I’m writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
写一本书，告诉你溺水之中如何保持清醒
And if the words float up to the surface
若一字一句都浮上水面
I’ll keep them down
我会将它们压在水下
This is the first time I know
这是我第一次懂得
I don’t want the crown
自己并不需要皇冠
You can take it now
你拿去吧
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
你答应了全世界，把它挂在绳子上带给我
Stuck in my mouth, into my throat
卡在我的口中，塞入我的喉中
Told me to sing
逼迫我去唱歌
That was the first time I knew
这是我第一次
You can’t kill the king
你不可能杀死国王
And those who kiss the ring
那些亲吻戒指的人

告诉我
Tell me how
如何更好地面对无边的黑暗
It’s better when the sun goes down
我们永远不会逃离这小镇
We will never escape this town
当他抓住了我也不会害怕
I wasn’t scared when he caught me
看他让我懂得了什么道理
Look what it taught me
告诉我
Tell me how
在沉默之后如何一鸣惊人
It’s better if I make no sound
我永远不会逃避这些质疑
I will never escape these doubts
他们找到我时，我已奄奄一息
I wasn’t dead when they found me
只能眼睁睁地看着他们把我拉下
Watch as they pull me down
写一章节，告诉你被掩埋之后如何破土而出

当你日渐厌恶你旧时所爱，该如何寻回自己
I’m writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
这是我第一次醒悟
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
他们不会善罢甘休
That was the first time I knew
他们会夺走你的勇气与胆量
They were out for blood
告诉我
And they would have your guts
如何更好地面对无边的黑暗

我们永远不会逃离这小镇
Tell me how
当他抓住了我也不会害怕
It’s better when the sun goes down
看他让我懂得了什么道理
We will never escape this town
