beautifully worthless beings - give me a day كلمات الأغنية

(part 1)

“dust was my heart
i’m the betrayed
_hating and cheating ‘til nothing remains
but i see to yonder
o’ i see in you!
you’ve got it all backwards
and i’ll show you proof

but i’ll have to be your soul…
_d_mned beyond belief

so here we go
already underway to let me in
i’ll show you what it feels like
_pain

i want to be your soul
you’re d_mned beyond belief
this darkness you’ve been on about
i won’t let it test you

let me be your soul!
i’ll teach you what to believe
all your woes soon falling out of line…
then nothing can bеst you
disorder and death—i’m bettеr than that
i’m gonna’ open your head
and see what’s in it
all your sorrow and debt—i’m better than that
i’m gonna’ open your head
and see what’s in it
let me in!

dawn…
it always starts exactly the same as the dusk

filth was my heart
i’m the betrayed
_hating and cheating ‘til nothing remains

but is there a difference?
and is it in you?
you’ve got it all backwards
and i’ll show you proof

when you’re falling apart, i’m nearer
but i was already there…

no one’s coming
no one heard you
disappointed?
call my bluff!
cause it’s hurting
and you want me to stop
that automatic condemnation
is the only thing that keeps you sane
it’s so tragic!
does it make you feel stronger?
i’d like to be your soul
imagine what we’d see!
all these things you fear have nothing on me…

treason’s just a penny for the poor
to put ‘em up when they’re unsure
‘cause when you’re failing in pairs
it makes you feel less alone
at least you’re still a part of something

[scatting]
[instrumental]

i’ll tell you my story if you give me a day

from the start, i had no heart
born a servant to serpents
i was a slave
_kept their rattles and polished their fangs
some would say i was brave…

but i knew one day they would devour me
i knew one day we’d all be consumed
i’d be packed up and fed to their young
life was nothing but cruel to me
and just like you, one day someone came to me
and he said
“let me be your soul
i can set you free
you’ve had no choice ‘til now
just give me a dream”

i didn’t regret
t’was better than dead
they would’ve bit off my head
i saw it coming!
i’d be a pile of sh_t—i’m better than that
i made the deal with the djinn

i let him come in
i let him in!”

(part 2)
“you consider my offer
i’ll give you some more
after days
i was spoiled and dead on the floor
it’s important you see this was part of his plan
_make them think i was no longer fit for consumption
we had chemistry
he had set me free
through the sewer, i swam
o’ i swam to the shoreline!
this would be my new start
then it all fell apart…

it was not what it seemed

you see
i had forgotten something very, very important
yes, in my own excitement
i began plotting out crusades
for riches and glory and power
what did i know of freedom?
i was an ignorant peon
who was born into a life of servitude
obliging diamond_encrusted monsters
that would swallow up my kind on a whim
this was the only thing a man in my position could dream of
and caught up the moment
i had suddenly realized i had been played!

i slept for a whole day
and i wept, for i knew what was coming
i’d not be the same anymore…
my time had ended
so i begged for a whole night
and i cried as i held onto nothing
i’d not be me anymore!
he wanted his dream…

and then the djinn took form
_the shape of an eel
_careened back with his mouth open wide
and though i knew
there was no talking down his malevolence
i mustered the courage to ask him
to spare me my tongue

i’d have drained my blood!
i’d have drained my blood!
what’s the worth of your life if you’re not someone?
but he showed compassion
he didn’t take my tongue…
_stuffed my body full of wickedness
i’m kicked out

o’ i’ve forgotten what i means to be alive!
and oh, it’s so tragic
‘cause there’s no one home inside
i’m nothingness incarnate
i’m a throne without a king
the masterpiece!
the masterpiece!
i saw it within me!

i watched him become my soul!
and i didn’t want to believe!
and as my body was wrenched out from my clutch
i could finally see!

how the hole in the plot’s so clear!
for the start and the stop look the same
and it’s easy enough
to pick and pick and pick and pick
when you’re already there

no one’s coming
no one heard you
disappointed?
call my bluff!
cause it’s hurting
and you want me to stop
that automatic affirmation
do you understand how it made me this way?
that’s my story
now, you’ll give me that day…

you been’ cheated, just like me
so come on out
we’ve spent too much time on this
know i been’ searching
there ain’t no other way…
so i been’ planning that whole “gimmie’ a day” thing

now i get to be your soul
ain’t no other way
and i get to watch you fall
and i get to feel your pain

i never count my blessings enough
i got’ too many
it’d take too long
and i lost a couple on the way up
i been through fire
i sit that low

o’ i been’ searching for your face!
you danced a bad dance
and that’s okay
your heart’s been’ thumping in that cage…
it knows i’m coming
it beats for me

don’t even try to b_tter me up
_won’t get you nowhere
you’re good as gone
and the peace of mind is worth it enough
i’m finally someone
i can’t go wrong!

o’ i been searching for your face!
you danced a bad dance
and that’s okay
i’m feeling stronger
i’m feeling free
no one can stop me
no one can stop me now!

and then i too took form
_the shape of crow
_careened back with my beak open wide
and though i knew
there was no talking down my malevolence
i mustered the mercy
to tell him i’d be sparing his tongue

and my last thoughts
before i inhabit this new sp_ce:
it’s curious—the separation
between the body and the soul
do you see?
a body doesn’t remember
but a soul never forgets!
and it’s curious…
_curious to know
that somewhere out there
my body is gone and dead and buried and rot
but here i am—remembering!
and here you too will be
you too will wander the stars searching
_searching for a suitable host
_searching for how and why a beautifully worthless being
came plunging down from the heavens
only to deceive you into giving up your only sh_ll
a trick!
a happy little trick, it was
and now there you go
there you go!
look at you go!
i remember!
i remember that feeling well
_that feeling of being so… lost

o’ here we go!
we’re finally underway
i made it in
n0body’s gonna’ judge you
_fade

i will be your soul”
