Two Bills

[Intro] یه روزی یه روزِ برفی یه روز از روزای غم‌گین منو دِلو جا گذاشتی پشتِ دیوارای سنگین [Chorus] یه روزی یه روزِ برفی یه روز از روزای غم‌گین منو دلو جا گذاشتی پشتِ دیوارای سنگین [Verse 1] پشتِ پنجره نگاهم جای پاتو دوره میکرد دستای سرد و غمینم دستاتو بهونه میکرد تو که رفتیو نموندی ببینی این بغضِ غریبم بعد تو اینو می‌دونم تا ابد تنها ترین مَردِ زمینم [Bridge] بی تو وُ دستای خوبت بهارِ دلم خزون شد آرزوی تو، جدایی هر چی تو خواستی، همون شد حالا بی حضورِ گرمت توی این شبِ زمستون یکی چش بِرات نشسته خسته و تنها و لرزون [Guitar solo] [Verse 2] اون منم که توی شبها یه مسافرِ غریبم از شبو غربتِ جاده باز سراغتو می گیرم تو که رفتی و نموندی ببینی این بغض غریبم بعد تو اینو میدونم تا ابد تنهاترین مردِ زمینم [Chorus] یه روزی یه روزِ برفی یه روز از روزای غم‌گین منو دلو جا گذاشتی پشتِ دیواری سنگین [Outro] بعد تو اینو می‌دونم تا ابد، تنهاترین مردِ زمینم

(Verse 1) I saw your shadow fade in the golden light, The echoes linger, but the sound's not right. You were the rhythm, the beat of my soul, Now there's silence where the music used to roll. (Pre-Chorus) The world keeps spinning, but I’ve come undone, Half of my heart is chasing the sun. (Chorus) When you walked away, you took a piece of me, Like the tide steals the shore, endlessly. I’m standing here, but I’m not whole, You were the thread that stitched my soul. Losing you feels like losing me, A part of myself that’ll never be free. (Verse 2) Every corner holds a trace of your smile, I’ve been lost in the haze for a while. Tried to hold on, but the cracks gave way, Now I’m just chasing shadows of yesterday. (Pre-Chorus) The stars still shine, but they don’t burn as bright, I’m searching for you in the quiet night. (Chorus) When you walked away, you took a piece of me, Like the tide steals the shore, endlessly. I’m standing here, but I’m not whole, You were the thread that stitched my soul. Losing you feels like losing me, A part of myself that’ll never be free. (Bridge) If I could turn back time, Hold your hand and rewrite the lines. But the pages are torn, the story’s through, And I’m left here, breaking in two. (Outro) I carry the weight of your memory, A fragile echo of who I used to be. Though you’re gone, you’re still a part of me, Forever lost, yet never free.

You stand and stare at me. It’s like you’ve never seen me before. My eyes, they always bleed. It’s like I’ve forgotten what fighting’s for. But nothing is over. We’ll just let them bleed ‘til I remember what fighting’s for. We will just let them breathe ‘til I feel triumphant at my core ‘cause, nothing is over. No thing is ov’r . . . My eyes; they slowly bleed. My heart; I must conceal it. I hide behind my dream. But I cannot achieve it. But what’s taking over? I don’t care. A lie, you won’t believe it. I won’t scare. My life, you cannot steal it . . . I wipe away my tears. You boast until I fear it. Just give me back my dreams. Release. You’re so conceited. This quarrel is over. I still care. Move on and be completed. I was scared. No ‘scuse to have conceded . . . Old scars no longer weep. I’m done be-ing mistreated. I am worth fighting for. Triumph! I prom- ‘ise freedom ‘cause when it’s all over I’m still here. I’ll never be defeated.

[Instrumental]

(Verse 1) Two bills, flying in the air One's in the sky, one’s sitting there The one in the sky, it’s made of gold While the one on the ground is just trying to hold Money in the pockets, power in the hands They dine on the riches, we work in the sand American dream, they say it’s for all But it’s hard to believe when the few stand tall (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Verse 2) There’s a mansion on the hill and a suit on the street With a pocket full of secrets and a life so sweet The suits make the rules, they pass the checks While we fight for the crumbs, stuck in the specs American aristocracy, it's made of glass They raise their champagne while we burn our cash They say we’re equal, but it's all a lie Just a perfect little show, a well-crafted disguise (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Bridge) We watch from below, eyes on the sky But they only look down with a casual sigh They don’t see us, we're out of their view Just the ones who work hard, but never break through (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Outro) Two bills, flying in the air One’s a golden dream, the other’s just a prayer Money’s the wind, and life’s the cage The rich turn the page, we’re stuck in the rage.

[Verse 1] Though I never thought it'd come down to this, why do we go through so much pain just to exist? I'm making a list, no one caring what it is The mirror showing a stranger, someone I don't know How it came down to this, no one knows [Verse 2] Every tick-tock from the clock whispers my name, telling me that I should be in so much shame All of my plans deteriorating Life's become so disorientating Truths and lies, nothing's pure black and white [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book [Verse 3] "Oh, fuck it..." You're the same as me Baby, can't you see Sharing the same motivation and thoughts as me You think it's outrageous? Just you wait Give it a couple years and we'll share the same fate [muffled, like on a radio] They make you in their image Never caring to set you free So, take your own freedom, dancing on the burnt remains of bridges never meant to be [normal] Hahahaaha Go on, take your own freedom my child Those bridges were already burned Sitting by the large bonfire of their misconceptions of you "Yes, of you" Isn't life just great with all its twists and turns [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book [Bridge] Yeah, together we'll be those insufferable villains in your book Depicting your story as one of grace while we fall into ruin to save your face Steering the story to have a good ending That's the villain's job, is it not? "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here" That so much is true Take a good look around you with eyes full of fear But it's way easier to give blame than take it yourself So we'll play the villains, you play the hero Let's see how this story ends [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book

Strofa 1 I find myself in a night Writing with a frantic obsession, Like a madman chasing a dog. I forget myself, humiliated by memories, People talk, but I don’t listen. A cigarette in my hands, Vibrating on the keyboard of a cell phone. I don’t know if there is strength or weakness in this. Ritornello Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Strofa 2 I wish I could shout to the world that I won, But I don’t know the meaning of victory. The future supports my every thought, As if it were the last. We live in a state where thought is free, But reality is a cage. Nothing will better translate, What I’m telling you now. Ritornello Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Bridge (Parlato o Cantato) Creativity is possessive, The assimilation phase is paranoia. My work is the truest part of me. My mask. My real life. Finale (Ritornello + Ad Lib) Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Like a madman chasing a dream.

[Verse] Steel ghosts haunting Streets are hollow Cold lights flicker No dreams to follow Concrete jungle claws at my soul City's grip tight Losing control [Verse 2] Brick and mortar Chains that bind Empty faces Nothing to find Grinding gears Drowning in noise Lifeless grey Losing my voice [Chorus] Breaking free Fields calling my name Leaving shadows Shedding this shame Countryside whispers Sweet embrace Sunrise kisses Life's warm face [Verse 3] Dust pathways Winds are speaking Silent hills My heart seeking Golden wheat sways Open wide Freedom found Nowhere to hide [Bridge] Skies stretch endless Feel the ease Breathing clean Every breeze Stars at night Clear as a bell Hell behind Now farewell [Chorus] Breaking free Fields calling my name Leaving shadows Shedding this shame Countryside whispers Sweet embrace Sunrise kisses Life's warm face

[Verse] Sympathy cuts like a blade Sharp words leave me betrayed In the shadows where we played Truth was lost and never stayed [Verse 2] Cold eyes A distant stare Promises fade They don't care In the dark We laid it bare Fleeting moments Rare as air [Chorus] Sympathy is a knife Dull and slight Cutting deep in the dead of night In the silence Wrong feels right Hurts the heart No end in sight [Verse 3] Mirrored lies Reflections torn In the whispers Love was worn Blazing trails where dreams are born Left alone To mourn and scorn [Bridge] Bleeding under false pretense Every wound A new defense In this game There's no suspense Sympathy makes no sense [Chorus] Sympathy is a knife Dull and slight Cutting deep in the dead of night In the silence Wrong feels right Hurts the heart No end in sight

POKENRO: WE are SURROUNDED BY LIARS AND PEOPLE THAT CHEAT JUSTICE WILL NOW BE SERVED TO YOU ON THE STREET Verse 1: I'm the one they point their fingers at The one they blame for all their careless acts From the Black Sheep to the scapegoat, I've been accused Of every mistake, without any excuse Verse 2: Do you think I'm crazy, you think my mind is weak You think I've been silent because i lack the courage to speak You don't have a clue about the storm you created, this is not a game Only when I strike back , you realize real pain Chorus: For so long I've allowed them the power to abuse Im at the point where my temper is all I have left to loose You were the problem, a solution was found Time for me to take you down down down Verse 3: When I spoke up,, my warning was ignored You threatened me, it was you that started THIS war You ARE A hypocrite, coward, JUST A arrogant shit stain YOU CALLED ME blacksheep, played scapegoat, now I am now the cause of your pain REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO: The truth SET ME FREE and justice will be mine You refuse to fix yourself, instead TRY TO PICK APART how i live my life You ARE THE problem , you will never see peace LOST my humanity, YOU WILL NOT my kindness as WEAK DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN down down down down

I was a wreck when you walked through that door,Heart in pieces scattered on the floor. She left me cold, filled me with doubt, Made me believe love was just a way out. Trust was a ghost, hope was a game, Thought I’d never feel real love again. Then you came along with a different light, One look from you, and the world felt right You’re healing me, breaking down the walls, Turning the silence into something that calls. Where she left scars, you’re planting grace, In your arms, I’ve found a safe place. Piece by piece, you’re making me whole, Turning my cracks into something gold. You’re healing me, lifting the weight, Showing me love isn’t tied to hate. I’d buried my trust deep in the ground,She stole every piece that I’d once found.But you’ve been patient, steady and true,Mending the heart I’d given up to. With every word, every touch that you give,I’m learning again what it means to live.Where there was fear, now there’s belief,You’re proving love doesn’t come with grief. You’re healing me, breaking down the walls, Turning the silence into something that calls. Where she left scars, you’re planting grace, In your arms, I’ve found a safe place. Piece by piece, you’re making me whole, Turning my cracks into something gold. You’re healing me, lifting the weight, Showing me love isn’t tied to hate. You’ve got a way of making me see, Love doesn’t have to mean misery. You’re the strength that’s been missing so long, A safe place where my heart belongs. You’re healing me, breaking down the walls, Turning the silence into something that calls .Where she left scars, you’re planting grace, In your arms, I’ve found a safe place. Piece by piece, you’re making me whole, Turning my cracks into something gold. You’re healing me, lifting the weight, Showing me love isn’t tied to hate. In you, I’m finding my peace again, Not just a lover, you’re my best friend. I’m breathing free, learning to trust, Building a love that’s more than just us
