Backroads and Barstools

[Verse] در کنار ساحل مرگ، صدای دریا میاد غم و قصه‌های کهنه، توی خوابم میاد تنهایی و شب سرد، یار دیرینه من دل مثل اون غریبه، خسته از شهر و وطن [Verse 2] خاطراتم با تو، در بادها گمشده دل خوشی‌های دیروز، گویی همه رفته جاده‌هایی پر پیچ، حالا تنها رمم چشم هایی دیده غمگین، به دنبال عطر تو [Chorus] دریای غم، چرا مرا تنها گذاشتی؟ چرا قلبم دلشکسته، با همان دردهای آشنا؟ دریای غم، بگو کجاست ساحنت آرامش؟ من به دنبال رویا، توی خواب‌هایم شب‌زنده‌دارم [Verse 3] نسیم هر شب بوزد، به یادت زنده من غم چون خوابی سنگین، برف زده بر دل من رویاهایی در شب، در آن کوچه‌های باریک عشق رفته، رفته و من، با دل دیوانه [Bridge] در غروب غربت، مرا به کجا رساندی؟ آی نسیم مهربان، خاطراتم را بخواندی؟ به آن چشم‌های خسته، هجوم رؤیاها آسمان تاریک شده، دلم باز تنها [Chorus] دریای غم، چرا مرا تنها گذاشتی؟ چرا قلبم دلشکسته، با همان دردهای آشنا؟ دریای غم، بگو کجاست ساحنت آرامش؟ من به دنبال رویا، توی خواب‌هایم شب‌زنده‌دارم

[Verse] Dil se maafi mangti hoon Jab tune kaha tha sun loon Meri zidd ne roka mujhe Ab samajh mein aaya kyun [Verse 2] Tere bina khali hai sans Mere ehsaas bhi ro rahe hain Dil toot gaya hai ab samjha Mere gunaah maaf kar de [Chorus] Kaise kahoon mujhe afsos hai Tere aansu ka dard mujhse na seh jaaye Mujhse galti hui hai maan gayi Tere bina jeena mushkil hai bhai [Verse 3] Aankhon mein aansu hain tere Mere dil mein pachtawa bhaari Jis raah pe tune mujhe bulaya Usi raah pe laut aayi [Bridge] Meri awaz sun le phir se Sath bitaye pal yaad hai tujhe Har pal socha kash maani hoti Tu mujhe maaf kar de bas yahi dua hai [Chorus] Kaise kahoon mujhe afsos hai Tere aansu ka dard mujhse na seh jaaye Mujhse galti hui hai maan gayi Tere bina jeena mushkil hai bhai

[Verse] Sunrise slow as we begin Chasing dreams where we have been Shadows fade and light pours in Brighter days we can't rescind [Verse 2] Cold nights askin' where we go Echoes whisper what we know Through the rain and through the snow Holdin' hands don't let them go [Chorus] It's okay tears will fall Together we'll stand tall Hearts will mend with every call In your arms I give my all [Verse 3] Wonder speaks in silent prose Secrets hidden in our clothes Eyes they meet the truth it shows Love is wild like a rose [Bridge] Broken roads they lead us here Fear is gone when you are near In this world so crystal clear No more pain or any fear [Chorus] It's okay tears will fall Together we'll stand tall Hearts will mend with every call In your arms I give my all

[Verse] Books and bags and morning haze Running late on coffee craze Dorm room talks that last till dawn It's a life that keeps me drawn [Verse 2] Campus paths we wander through Finding friends in something new Classes start and knowledge flows In this place where our heart grows [Chorus] Welcome friend to this new ride Hold on tight it's wild inside Every laugh and every tear Shapes the path we hold so dear [Verse 3] Midnight snacks and late-night chat Under stars we tip our hats Chasing dreams and sharing fears In this space we lose our years [Bridge] Lecture halls and library dens Strangers turning into friends Games and clubs and weekend plans We just let the good life span [Chorus] Welcome friend to this new ride Hold on tight it's wild inside Every laugh and every tear Shapes the path we hold so dear

[Verse] The evening sun sets behind the pine, I'm left here feeling barely fine, With nicotine stains on my fingertips, And whiskey burning on my lips. [Verse 2] The porch swing creaks to an empty tune, Friday nights pass way too soon, Stars blink out in the midnight sky, While I just sit here wondering why. [Chorus] Whiskey in my hand, miles of broken dreams, Nicotine tries to cover up my screams, Depression, like a shadow, follows me around, Another night in this old lonesome town. [Verse 3] The radio plays that old sad song, A lonesome melody that plays too long, Each verse feels like an old wound torn, Another night I wish I'd never been born. [Verse 4] Neighbors wave as they drive by slow, Eyes full of pity, but they don't know, That half a pack and a bottle's end, Are my only comfort, my last two friends. [Chorus] Whiskey in my hand, miles of broken dreams, Nicotine tries to cover up my screams, Depression, like a shadow, follows me around, Another night in this old lonesome town.

[Verse] Wake up now it's time to go Got to face the world you know Courage grown in morning light Rise and shine and win the fight [Verse] Steps you take will forge your way Every hurdle don't delay Heartbeats drumming in your chest Determination never rests [Chorus] Fear won't rule you no not here Strength in you it's always near With self-discipline you fly Reach the stars and touch the sky [Verse] Bumpy roads can wear you down Push right through don't wear a frown Every stumble makes you strong Keep on fighting all day long [Chorus] Fear won't rule you no not here Strength in you it's always near With self-discipline you fly Reach the stars and touch the sky [Bridge] Hold your head up high my friend Every storm it’s just pretend With your heart you’ll pave the way Bright tomorrows start today

[Verse] There's an old oak bar where I sit alone, Nursing a heart that's turned to stone, The jukebox plays our favorite tunes, But all it brings are endless blues. [Verse 2] I pour another shot to numb the pain, This whiskey's all that's keepin' me sane, Memories of you drift through the haze, Like shadows lost in a cloudy maze. [Chorus] Whiskey tears fall in the night, Drowning sorrow, a bitter fight, In this glass, I see your face, But it's the only comfort in this lonely place. [Verse 3] Your photograph still lies by my bed, Full of broken dreams and words unsaid, The more I drink, the more I find, You're always haunting my troubled mind. [Chorus] Whiskey tears fall in the night, Drowning sorrow, a bitter fight, In this glass, I see your face, But it's the only comfort in this lonely place. [Verse 4] The sun will rise and I'll still be here, With nothing left but this empty cheer, Heartbreak and whiskey, hand in hand, Lost in a love I can't understand.

[Acoustic Verse 1] That's life, that's life, that's what they all say, Riding high in April, but May blows you away. But I’m steady, I’m ready, I’ll flip the script soon, Back on my throne, back on top by June. [Acoustic Pre-Chorus] I’ve been a dreamer, a fighter, a lost soul, a schemer, A beggar, a leader, chasing highs, chasing fever. But every time I fall, I rise, I face the sun, ‘Cause life’s a battle, and I’ve only just begun. [Chorus] That’s life, that’s life, I can’t deny it, Thought about quitting, but my soul won’t let me hide it. If I didn’t believe it was worth one more try, I’d spread my wings, take flight, and touch the sky. [Rap Verse] Yo, I’ve been low, I’ve been high, I’ve been lost in the grind, Felt the weight of the world, like I’m running out of time. Puppet on strings, yeah, they tried to control, But I cut the ties, now I’m steering my own soul. From a pauper to a king, I’ve worn every crown, Built myself up when they tried to tear me down. Life’s a chessboard, I’m the pawn turned queen, Every setback’s just a setup for a bigger dream. I’ve been up, down, over, out, but I’m still in the game, Every scar on my heart’s a badge with my name. So when I’m flat on my face, I just laugh at the pain, ‘Cause I know the sun’s gonna shine through the rain. [Acoustic Verse 2] I’ve been a poet, a pirate, a shadow, a light, A wanderer searching for the meaning of life. But through the chaos, I’ve learned to embrace, Every stumble, every fall, every twist of fate. [Chorus] That’s life, that’s life, I can’t deny it, Thought about quitting, but my soul won’t let me hide it. If I didn’t believe it was worth one more try, I’d spread my wings, take flight, and touch the sky. [Outro – Acoustic & Rap Fusion] That’s life, that’s life, it’s a rollercoaster ride, But I’m holding on tight, no fear, no pride. From the bottom to the top, I’ve seen it all, But I’ll keep climbing, ‘cause I’m answering the call. So if you’re feeling low, just know you’re not alone, We’re all just trying to find our way back home. That’s life, that’s life, let the rhythm guide, We’re all just dancing through the chaos, side by side.

[Verse] Down at the card shop every Friday night, The duelists gather 'neath the fluorescent light, Stack of cards in hand, they're ready to fight, But oh the smell, something ain't right. [Verse 2] Across the table, they lay down their decks, Stars and dragons, hoping for respect, But when you get close for that intense next check, The odor hits you like a train wreck. [Chorus] Yu-Gotta Air Out, this place is a funk, Before you come 'round, take a pause and dunk, Soap and water ain't that hard to find, Yu-Gotta Air Out to keep peace of mind. [Verse 3] Down in the basement where the battles are strong, You can smell the stench from blocks along, Trading cards and words, there's nothing wrong, But it takes more than wins to keep 'em strong. [Bridge] Candles and sprays fill the summer air, But their force ain't enough to play fair, So boys and girls, take some daily care, Yu-Gotta Air Out and show you’re aware. [Chorus] Yu-Gotta Air Out, this place is a funk, Before you come 'round, take a pause and dunk, Soap and water ain't that hard to find, Yu-Gotta Air Out to keep peace of mind.

[Verse] Steve's got a twitch, his fingers are quick, TV's glowing by the wall. His patience thin, he tightens his grin, Another level, he might fall. [Chorus] Oh, Steve's got the game rage blues, Controller flying 'cross the room. Screaming loud at every lose, His blood pressure’s set to boom. [Verse] Thumbs ache with every match, Enemies he tries to slay. Eyes glued to the flashing batch, But the wins just fade away. [Chorus] Oh, Steve's got the game rage blues, Controller flying 'cross the room. Screaming loud at every lose, His blood pressure’s set to boom. [Verse] His screen flickers red, then dark, Another life, another start. Shouts echo through the trailer park, This game tears his heart apart. [Bridge] Neighbors laugh, say, "He’ll be back, Just can't leave that game alone." But between each bitter smack, He just groans and moans and moans.

[Verse] Ain't it strange how the leaves will fall, Under a maple shade, standing tall, They promise gold but give us gray, Under their rule, we’ve lost our way. [Verse 2] Their speeches sweet, like the syrup flows, But out here we feel the winter's blows, Policies written in city lights, While rural hearts lose sleep at nights. [Chorus] Oh Canada, where did we go wrong? A land so rich, yet the road's so long, Voices unheard beyond the town, Under the weight of a broken crown. [Verse 3] Our farmland cries, and the rivers flood, Sons and daughters covered in mud, Quarterly dreams in tightened hands, With each maple falling, who understands? [Bridge] Promises that melt like snow, In our rural hearts, the fire's grown cold, They talk of change, but nothing’s new, Lost in the colors of red and blue. [Chorus] Oh Canada, where did we go wrong? A land so rich, yet the road's so long, Voices unheard beyond the town, Under the weight of a broken crown.

[Verse] In the land where the maple leaves fall, Where the winters are bitter and cold, From the Rockies to the Great Lakes' tall, A tale of a nation once bold. [Verse 2] They say the cities are shadows now, Empty and echoing clear, Prairies whisper of broken vows, A land once held so dear. [Chorus] Oh, Canada, what went wrong? In the silence, I hear your song, A lament for the days so strong, When the north stood together, lifelong. [Verse 3] The Yukon rivers run lonely, As empty towns crumble and fade, Where once we were brothers only, Now divided by choices we've made. [Verse 4] From coast to coastline, tears fall, Eyes dimmed by the promise now lost, Through the night, I can hear the call, Of a future now shrouded in frost. [Chorus] Oh, Canada, what went wrong? In the silence, I hear your song, A lament for the days so strong, When the north stood together, lifelong.
