《A Gap In the Night》歌词

[00:18:29] (In Darkest Dreams Part II)

[00:18:29] For Neal who found what he searched,

[00:18:29] From one who searched and found something entirely different

[00:18:29] I. Ante-Room

[00:18:29] And in the REM movement, reality restores,

[00:18:29] A harsh-edged ambiance moves in,

[00:18:29] Kicks me out the bedroom door

[00:18:29] Adventuring in the real world,

[00:18:29] Of substance, time and change

[00:18:29] Turn off the gap!

[00:18:29] Forget the gap!

[00:18:29] II. Time For You

[00:18:29]

[00:18:29] III. Troubled Awakenings

[00:18:29] Where is this place that I see here?

[00:18:29] What is is this place? From whence this fear?

[00:18:29] This is not my world

[00:18:29] Whose is this room that I sit in?

[00:18:29] Whose is the light that shines so dim?

[00:18:29] This is not my world

[00:18:29] What am I doing here at all?

[00:18:29] If I look down will I fall?

[00:18:29] These thoughts cross my mind as…

[00:18:29] I burn the midnight lamp

[00:18:29] As I sit in my tiny room

[00:18:29] IV. The Inanimate Object Conspiracy

[00:18:29] Something's wrong with the inanimate!

[00:18:29] The furniture is crowding in…

[00:18:29] The ceiling swins on a pendulum,

[00:18:29] Opens up onto a world that lies within

[00:18:29] Buildings that rise up and claw at the sky,

[00:18:29] Shatter the blue and cry out in the night

[00:18:29] Sucking me upwards into the fright and hell of this dream

[00:18:29] The labyrinth is oh, so personal,

[00:18:29] I'm caught up in my own esteem,

[00:18:29] Questioning the real environment,

[00:18:29] As though I were the only object in its beam

[00:18:29] Falling through space in a gap in the night

[00:18:29] My body is torn through a sleep in the heights

[00:18:29] Of oblivion and intrigue,

[00:18:29] And a consuming passion to know who I am

[00:18:29] V. The Street Light Watershed

[00:18:29] Here in the half light the orange streetbulbs cast,

[00:18:29] Through the curtains of my room,

[00:18:29] I wait for the morning,

[00:18:29] As if somehow that will change all my negative thoughts

[00:18:29] But this is not me, this is not who I am

[00:18:29] It's just an echo of my former self,

[00:18:29] Escaping through the log-jam

[00:18:29] Caught by the upsurge,

[00:18:29] I feel self-pity crawl my body like a fever,

[00:18:29] I'm stuck here at square one,

[00:18:29] The all-time-loser who never fills the coupon in

[00:18:29] This is not me

[00:18:29] This is not how I am

[00:18:29] It's just an echo of my former self

[00:18:29] Escaping through the log-jam

[00:18:29] When I feel the power,

[00:18:29] I know that it's time to start

[00:18:29] The pen runs before me

[00:18:29] Leads me deep to the heart

[00:18:29] VI. This Is Not The End Of The World

[00:18:29] (But You Can See It From Here)

[00:18:29] If I wait for an eternity will I ever find the truth?

[00:18:29] If I search a hundred years or more

[00:18:29] Will I ever solve the questions of my youth?

[00:18:29] Won't someone believe me?

[00:18:29] Won't somebody take away the pain from this frame?

[00:18:29] It's no game, you can see the end of the world on a clear day

[00:18:29] VII. The Gap Yawns, The Orchestra Goes Doo-Lally

[00:18:29]

[00:18:29] VIII. The Ante-Room (Part II)

[00:18:29] And in the REM movement, reality restores,

[00:18:29] A harsh-edged ambiance moves in,

[00:18:29] Kicks me out the bedroom door

[00:18:29] Adventuring in the real world,

[00:18:29] Of substance, time and change

[00:18:29] Turn off the gap!

[00:18:29] Forget the gap!

[00:18:29] I am fugitive in the waking world

[00:18:29] A nomad caught under ice,

[00:18:29] With all the buzzing lines around me,

[00:18:29] Where each second has its price,

[00:18:29] And the seconds turn to hours

[00:18:29] The hours turn to lives

[00:18:29] And I live through a thousand each night

[00:18:29] Before the daylight finally arrives

[00:18:29] And I know that the daytime is just a gap in the night

[00:18:29] I'm tired and not ready for the fight

[00:18:29] Turn off the gap!

[00:18:29] And nobody says who I'm living, or

[00:18:29] Whose eyes I'm seeing through,

[00:18:29] The actions so unforgiving and

[00:18:29] I can't crawl back to you

[00:18:29] I'm tired of fighting an unrelenting force

[00:18:29] I'm tired and searching for a course to steer,

[00:18:29] In my flimsy boat of reeds

[00:18:29] Trying in vain to cross a surging, stormy sea,

[00:18:29] Of self-conscious analysis
