Cement

Cages and cases
Of starving birds and dead things
No longer look anything like they did
When they'd been living

The things you love you put into cement
In order to keep them they have to be dead
You think that he's yours but
It's only in your head
His coffin is not your arms
His grave is not your bed

Lockets and caskets
Full of garbage and ashes
Nothing but collections of nothing
You've been protecting

The things you love you put into cement
In order to keep them they have to be dead
You think that he's yours but
It's only in your head
His coffin is not your arms
His grave is not your bed

Taking baths in concrete
Harbor a love for things that don't exist
Try to set them into stone
But you can't, he's made of bones and flesh

The things you love you put into cement
In order to keep them they have to be dead
You think that he's yours but
It's only in your head
His coffin is not your arms
His grave is not your bed

[第一节]
笼子和箱子里
是饥饿的鸟儿 与死物
看着怎么也不像
它们还活着的时候

[副歌]
你把你爱的东西封进水泥里
它们唯有死去才能被留住
你以为他属于你 但那只是你的幻想
他的棺材不是你的手臂 他的坟墓不是你的床

[第二节]
锁盒和匣子里
装满杂碎 与灰烬
空无一物
除了你还在保护的 无意义的收藏品

[副歌]
你把你爱的东西封进水泥里
它们唯有死去才能被留住
你以为他属于你 但那只是你的幻想
他的棺材不是你的手臂 他的坟墓不是你的床

[第三节]
在混凝土中沐浴
对不存在的事物心怀爱意
试着把它们安置于石头里
但是你不能 他也是血肉之躯

[副歌]
你把你爱的东西封进水泥里
它们唯有死去才能被留住
你以为他属于你 但那只是你的幻想
他的棺材不是你的手臂 他的坟墓不是你的床
