the heart is old

그녀는 예고도 없이 방을 가로질러 왔지
눈물도 피조차도 벽 속에 봉인되었네
한 걸음, 두 걸음, 세 걸음
차츰 그녀의 몸짓은 춤을 닮아갔고
그녀는 말했어
이곳이야말로 내가 평화를 누릴 곳이야

그러나 지쳐버린 심장, 예고된 고통
그것을 간과해선 안 돼
뭉개진 턱, 잘라내어진 조각, 결국 그녀가 왜곡시킬 형태들

온갖 마약을 복용해도 결국
그토록 찾아헤매던 평화를 그녀는 얻지 못했지
지쳐버린 심장, 예고된 고통
그것을 간과해선 안 되는 거였는데
뭉개진 턱, 잘라내어진 조각, 결국 그녀가 왜곡시킬 형태들 역시

무엇이었나
그 밤 지붕 위에서 그녀가 본 것은
그녀의 얼굴을 일그러뜨린 것은, 그 밤, 지붕 위에서
그녀가 본 것은-
모든 빛을 그러모아 아래로, 저 아래로 묻어버린 바로 그것은





she came across the room without notice, the tears and the blood locked in the walls
she took one step, two steps, three steps, soon she was dancing
she said here is where i will find peace
but the heart is old and the pain must grow, it's the one thing you can't skip
it's the broken jaw, it's the cut from the saw, it's the shape from which she must bend
she took tuinal and seconol but still she couldn't find it
the peace that she needed so bad
but the heart is old and the pain must grow, it's the one thing you can't skip
it's the broken jaw, it's the cut from the saw, it's the shape from which she must bend
what was it she saw on the roof that night
what reshaped her face
on the roof that night, what was it she saw
what stole all that light and put it deep down under and beneath
