無眠—— The Neighbourhood

No food to eat, all the money's been wasted from last week
沒米下肚，所有的錢早在上星期就已花光
I can't even leave, so I sleep in the basement, making up rap beats
我還不能離開，只能睡在地下室，做著說唱的節拍
Hot cup of tea, it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and I can't sleep
熱茶一杯，已到了凌晨四點，我仍然無法安睡
It's all on repeat, so bad I can taste it while it eats me
一切正在周而復始，在它吞噬我之時，我得以一嚐苦澀

How can I sleep if I don't have dreams ?
盡失虛夢，焉能往赴周公之宴？
I just have nightmares
縈纏不去者，恐唯夢魘矣
How can it be?
此般惡景邪象，又萌以何法？
I still believe something is out there
顧望環物，終覺異象···

Some part of me feels a little bit naked and empty
我身體的某處開始感覺赤裸而空虛
I'm stuck underneath a few dirty old blankets to comfort me
身裹數層舊毯子，只求聊以慰己

And there's a light, and I can see why I'm still alive
曙光柔芒幾縷，許己以一窺存活之由
Mommy won't lie, cause if she did, I would've died
母上信口幾句，葬己以所言非虛之名
All the time I sit and try, you think I'd be down
閒碌交接幾載，判己以一倒不起之勢
Every night, I'm sick and why, oh, I'm staying up this time
憊倦度夜幾回，問己以輾轉無眠之因···
