Waking up begins with saying 「am」 and 「now」
从梦魇中惊醒

For the past 8 months, waking up has actually hurt
过去这八个月里 醒来是一件痛苦的事

The cold realization that I’m still here slowly sets in
我还活着 这个冷冰冰的现实渗入脑海

I was never terribly fond of waking up
我从来就不喜欢醒来

I was never one to jump out of bed and greet the day with a smile like Jim was
我从来不会像Jim那样笑眯眯地跳下床 迎接新的一天

I used to want to punch him sometimes in the morning he was so happy
看他每天早上开心成那样 我有时甚至想给他来一拳

I always used to tell him that only fools greet the day with a smile
我经常说 只有傻瓜才会像他一样

That only fools could possibly escape the simple truth
也只有傻瓜会逃避这样一个简单的真相

That now isn’t simply now
现在不仅仅是现在

It’s a cold reminder
这是一个冰冷的提示

One day later than yesterday
日复一日

One year later than last year
年复一年

And that sooner or later, it will come
这一刻总会到来

He used to laugh at me and then give me kiss on the cheek
他会笑话我 然后在我颊边印下一个吻

It takes time in the morning for me to become George
每天早晨 我都花时间扮演那个正常的自己

The time to adjust to what is expected of George and how he is to behave
假装我的言行举止与往日并无不同

By the time I have dressed and put the final layer of polish
穿好西装 擦亮皮鞋

On the nows lightly stiff but quite perfect George
眼前这个有点僵硬的我 其实已经相当完美了

I know fully what part I supposed to play
我总是知道自己应该扮演怎样的角色

Looking in the mirror staring back at me
看着镜子里的自己

It isn’t so much as a face, as the expression of a predicament
面无表情 却涌出浓重的悲伤

Just get through the ** day
撑过这**的一天就好

A bit melodramatic, I guess
这有点太矫情了

But then again.
但再一次

My heart has been broken.
我的心碎了

I feel as if I am sinking, drowning, can’t breathe.
我感觉我在不断下沉 在水中沉溺 直到无法呼吸
