（耳疾究竟是从什么时候开始的？
他试著搜寻关于这个病最早的印象，却没有任何收获。城市阴郁的天气、玻璃帷幕上的倒影以及医院灰白的长廊，早已层层围困了记忆，迫使他相信那便是世界的一切。
随著药效在脑中蔓延，他渐渐放开对身体的依赖。吊诡的是当不再惦念这些知觉后，他才再度体认到自身意识的存在。
不久后，梦境中鲜明的画面如电影般兀自在眼前放映起来。）

你记得吗？
我们一起溯过的溪流
当时夏天热炎披挂身后
那样的日子里
我们套上大得不合脚的鞋
趁著午后时光尚未枯黄起跳
在学会阅读暗潮之前
点过一颗颗溪石
——而今年岁与戒慎一同增长
我们踌躇在永恒之流的源头
苍老的叶子自身旁流过
注入青涩海洋的梦中
那些是山与谷的儿女
我们则是过客
拒绝离开
现在我已看清
万物皆同、没有姓名
没有心机
风雨终要降临
将我们解放
我会因爱得救
此刻
已是时候离去

06. Dream, Pt.1: Mindscape
("When did this ear disease even start?"
He searched for his earliest memories, but in vain. The city's gloomy weather, the reflections on curtain walls and the grey corridors in the hospital had besieged his remembrance, convincing him that those are everything in his world.
While the blurry trails of the drug spread out in his head, he cut loose of his reliance on his body. Strangely, it was after he stopped grasping for those senses that he rejoined the awareness of his own consciousness.
Presently, the lively visions of the dreams unroll before him like successive cinema scenes.)
Do you remember
The stream we used to trek
When the heats of summer
Still clung to our backs
In those times
When our shoes were oversized
We leaped nonetheless
Before the afternoon dies
We bounced over stones before knowing the flow
We grew more cautious once we grew old
We dwelled in the basin
Of this never ending creek
Old leaves bypassed us
Ran into a young ocean’s dream
They are the daughters
Of mountains and valleys
We are but visitors
Who refused to leave

Now I’ve seen it through
We are all the same
There is no name
There is no game
The storm will come
To set us free
And my love will save me
It’s now the time
For us to leave
