The Synaptik [English Translation] - Ritalin

★ Refrain ★
Eyes shut, confused on the inside, how and why, I don't know
Enlightened but unjust
We’re too much but we keep losing
We're lost but we've found a reason to never mature
Eyes shut but we can see a light at the end of the road

★ First verse: The Synaptik ★
Listen, I can’t see you so tell me what you want
You're still nothing to me even when I fill in the blanks
I don't have the answer, must have lost it in the amp
But don't you dare say it, say it, say it, say it
I miss how you take the pain
Don't mind how people look at us
They don't understand how much I need
You to take me away from the cold and shivering
And the night won't pass
Even if I beseech Ali
Even if I call upon Yeshua
With receipts poking at my palms
Only she is mine
Consoling me in my corner
My killer, my medicine
My pen, my narrator

★ Second verse: Mehrak ★
This music of ours
Details of that house that I can't forget
Here’s an emptiness, a racial ugliness that is determined by nationality
Here’s a time spent zoned out, not a thought in mind
My notebook, my pen, things I've thrown away
When a Shilok (tribesman) put a gun to my head and went through my parts and had his way (?)
Oh when Mehrak improvised he wasn’t playing
Sleep has become foreign to me
And pain is dormant in me
I've been through situations but don't wanna recall these disgusting/disappointing memories
Trying to repress and talk normally. Life's alright, alright!
Ultimately my tongue will be my demise, when that nears, I’ll stick
To my silence, better than
Putting my family in danger
But
Dad, Hamoodi, and my aunt taught me that too good of a heart can be a problem
If you know you know
And if you don't
Move
At the time my brother was getting beat up by a prick whose hand didn't learn restraint
I'll f*ck your honour
And tell me what, do you think I'm being illogical?
Hasn't death always been our squatting neighbour?
I know our people the most, although this prick is delusional
Everyone who knows him told him “you bring us shame, fuck off”
And tell me what, do you think I'm being illogical?
Hasn't death always been our squatting neighbour?
I know our people the most, although this prick is delusional
Everyone who knows him told him “you bring us shame, fuck off”

★ Outro: The Synaptik ★
A rifle between Rita and my eyes
Every day that passes…
A rifle between Rita and my eyes
Every day that passes…
