（耳疾究竟是從什麼時候開始的？
他試著搜尋關於這個病最早的印象，卻沒有任何收獲。城市陰鬱的天氣、玻璃帷幕上的倒影以及醫院灰白的長廊，早已層層圍困了記憶，迫使他相信那便是世界的一切。
隨著藥效在腦中蔓延，他漸漸放開對身體的依賴。弔詭的是當不再惦念這些知覺後，他才再度體認到自身意識的存在。
不久後，夢境中鮮明的畫面如電影般兀自在眼前放映起來。）

你記得嗎？
我們一起溯過的溪流
當時夏天熱炎披掛身後
那樣的日子裡
我們套上大得不合腳的鞋
趁著午後時光尚未枯黃起跳
在學會閱讀暗潮之前
點過一顆顆溪石
——而今年歲與戒慎一同增長
我們躊躇在永恆之流的源頭
蒼老的葉子自身旁流過
注入青澀海洋的夢中
那些是山與谷的兒女
我們則是過客
拒絕離開
現在我已看清
萬物皆同、沒有姓名
沒有心機
風雨終要降臨
將我們解放
我會因愛得救
此刻
已是時候離去

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
