Crooks
Eternal Cold: Unveiling the Shadows in James Ghareeb's 'Crooks'
Lyrics
I'll be damned, it's you again
I am surprised to see you again.
I been runnin', to see you on the end
I have been running to meet you at the end.
If being cold was a crime
If being emotionally distant or unresponsive were a crime.
They'd write your name in the books
Your name would be recorded as a perpetrator in the records.
Tell your story to the crooks
Share your experiences with dishonest individuals.
And how you shook the looks on everybody's faces
Describe how you defied expectations and judgments on people's faces.
Stuck on graces, for tonight
Fixated on virtues, at least for tonight.
See the night, it comes again
The night has arrived again.
I been trying
I have been making an effort.
I been shaking my way
I have been dealing with challenges in my own way.
Through the nightmares
Navigating through difficult situations or experiences.
Oh I hate it
Expressing a strong dislike for something.
There's a man under this skin, he said
A representation of an inner self claiming existence.
There's a soul to be reckoned in command
Acknowledging a soul with authority and influence.
Oh there's volumes to speak
There is a lot to say or express.
About the man in the streets
Highlighting the significance of common people.
There's a son under this man he said
A reference to a son within this individual.
If being cold was a crime
If emotional distance or unresponsiveness were a crime (repeated).
They'd write your name in the books
Your name would be recorded as a perpetrator (repeated).
Tell your story to the crooks
Share your experiences with dishonest individuals (repeated).
And how you shook the looks on everybody's faces
Describe how you defied expectations (repeated).
Stuck on graces, stuck on graces, stuck on graces
Emphasizing being fixated on virtues (repeated).
If being cold was a crime
If being emotionally distant or unresponsive were a crime (repeated).
They'd write your name in the books
Your name would be recorded as a perpetrator (repeated).
Tell your story to the crooks
Share your experiences with dishonest individuals (repeated).
And how you shook the looks on everybody's faces
Describe how you defied expectations (repeated).
Stuck on graces, stuck on graces
Emphasizing being fixated on virtues (repeated).
