Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Ridiculed and laughed at
被嘲笑愚弄
Wearing clown shoes
穿着小丑鞋
Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Furious and reckless
不顾后果的怒不可遏
Sick with booze
早已厌倦借酒浇愁
How did I live
我该如何活着
I taste every wasted minute
我珍惜每分每秒
Every time I turned away
每一次我都逃离
From the things that might have healed me
逃避或许能将我治愈的一切
How long have I been sleeping
我到底沉睡了多久?
Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Frightened like a child
如孩子般惊恐不已
Lazy and numb
慵懒而麻木
Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Pretending and preposterous
做作而又是那么可笑
And dumb
麻木不觉
How did I live
我该如何活着
Was I kind enough and good enough
是否我足够善良 足够好?
Did I love enough

Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky
是否我曾抬头仰望天际的日月星辰?
Oh why have I been sleeping
为何我这般沉睡不醒?
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
人们都说直到坠入爱河的那一刻我们才会苏醒
We are children of dust and ashes
我们不过是尘埃之身
But when we fall in love we wake up
坠入爱河的那一刻我们才会醒来
And we are a god and angels weep
我们是上帝 天使在抽泣
But if I die here tonight
而今夜在我离世之前
I die in my sleep
我在梦中死去
All of my life I spent searching
这一生我都在探寻
The words of poets and saints and prophets and kings
诗人圣人先知和国王的言论
Now at the end all I know
直到最后 我才知道
That I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing
我才明白 我才领悟 我一无所知
So easy to close off
太容易自我隔绝
Place the blame outside
却将罪责推给世人
Hiding in my room at night
黑夜里躲在自己的房间
So terrified
如此惊恐
All the things I could've been
我本该实现的梦
But I never had the nerve
而我却没有勇气
Life and love I don't deserve
本不属于我的生活与爱
So alright
就罢了
Alright

I've had my time
我的时代已经远去
Close my eyes

Let the death bells chime
就让丧钟敲响吧
Bury me in burgundy
将我葬于勃艮第
I just don't care
只是我完全不在乎
Nothing's left
一无所有
I looked everywhere
我看整个世界
Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Was there ever any other way my life could be
我的人生还有另外一种可能吗
Is this how I die
这该是我的宿命吗
Such a slough of feelings inside of me
我像是在泥沼里挣扎
But then why am I screaming
而为何我依然怒吼?
Why am I shaking
为何我战栗不已?
Oh god was there something that I missed
神就在那 我错过了什么
Did I squander my divinity
我是否挥霍了我的神圣本质
Was happiness within me the whole time
