I am held together by clothes pins and tension, 我对衣服的针脚和张力一起举行，

a wealth of odds and ends 丰富的零星

I'm dazzling like the neon street sign 我喜欢炫目的霓虹灯路牌

hiccuping off and on again all night long 打嗝，然后再打开一整夜

I've got magazine friends 我有朋友杂志

and enough jealousy to lose them all 够嫉妒失去他们所有的

But I know this has all been said before 但我知道这之前，所有有人说

I shed what escape my fiction provided 我流下了逃避我的小说提供

I lived a lifetime inside of my shelter 我住了一辈子我的住所内

and thought it about time to see outside 并认为这约时间见外

And I believed it was easy, 我认为这很容易，

stupidly thought I could just get up and walk away 愚蠢的以为我可以站起来走开

I've got illness hugging me like skin 我有生病拥抱我，就像皮肤

and I'll shed it clean until I can taste the oxygen. 我会脱落干净，直到我可以品尝到氧气。
