Translation
Bilingual
Fifteen years sweating, and living hell for a false charge
(sorrow bringer)
Fifteen years dreaming I might come home to a wife and child
Well, I can't say the years have been particularly kind to you, Mr. Barker
No, not Barker
That man is dead
It's Todd now, Sweeney Todd
So welcome back to fleet street, baby
This is where it started, and before you lay blame
It was the people right here who had raised me
And another nail inside my coffin won't faze me
All of these conclusions you have reached still amaze me
If you really think I'm capable of what I've been accused of
Tell me, baby, why the fuck do you not hate me?
But I could see it in her face, she thinks I'm crazy
Frankly, I'm just tryna make some ends meet
Regardless of how lucrative the job they've sent me
I'll take the pay, if any
In times of darkness, I could stretch a single note to pennies
I'll teach you how to struggle proper, how to run on empty
Sometimes I wonder why God had chosen a lowlife like me for the gifts I take for granted
(For fun, I would imagine)
I used 'em once and heaven frowned as I had painted damage
I know the void awaits my presence, I could hear it laughing
So watch the pole spin still
This red and white light wrapped the caulking underneath of the barbershop stills and cut through dusk
And cut through us
I'm still on clock, job's not done
And maybe you could trust me when I'm locked away at last
And I could only touch the shape of you against the plexiglass
To show my love, to show my lust
As your life moves on, mine collects dust (you see, there's been complaints)
So welcome back to fleet street, baby
This is where it started, and before you lay blame
It was the people right here who had raised me
And another nail inside my coffin won't faze me
All of these conclusions you have reached still amaze me
If you really think I'm capable of what I've been accused of
Tell me, baby, why the fuck do you not hate me?
But I could see it in her face, she thinks I'm crazy
Broken and scarred, baby, it's so hard
And I just wanna be alone
Everything hurts one time
And I
Loving me feels like the world starts shifting, but I gotta let you go
Every single time that you come down
And I
