Ten Million Reasons

[Intro] [Explosive punk drums, building guitar] [Spoken] "No... no no no... fuck..." [Scream] "NOT AGAIN!" [Verse 1 - Too Late] [Furious punk, 180 bpm, raw emotion] Got the call from Birdie's phone Barely breathing, all alone Racing through the London streets To where our histories meet Kick the door and there they are Kelly, Birdie, gone too far Blood spreading like their broken dreams Nothing's ever what it seems [Verse 2 - The Dying Words] [Intense, emotional but driving] Kelly's fading, grabs my hand "Emma... you... need to understand" Birdie whispers through the blood "Birthday backwards" through the flood Of her dying, choking breath I'm watching them embrace their death Two girls who destroyed my life Now I'm holding their last strife [Pre-Chorus - The Realization] [Building intensity] Metal case beside them gleaming Ten million pounds, are you dreaming? They died for this, they killed for this They ruined everything for this! [Chorus - The Decision] [Explosive anthem, screaming] TWO BIRDS DIED SO ONE COULD FLY TEN MILLION REASONS TO SAY GOODBYE They made me famous, made me fight Now I'm taking flight tonight THEY CHOSE THEIR ENDING, I CHOOSE MINE CROSSING EVERY FUCKING LINE Ten million pounds for all my pain I'LL NEVER BE EMMA WILSON AGAIN! [Verse 3 - Taking It] [Aggressive, determined] Kelly's gone, I close her eyes Birdie's still, no more lies Birthday backwards, punch the code Taking this whole fucking load They put me through hell and back Made me someone who could attack Now their war becomes my peace My unwanted fame finally ceased [Bridge - The Justification] [Half-time, heavy and deliberate] They made me a hero (I never wanted that) They made me a fighter (I never wanted that) They made me famous (I never wanted that) Now I'm taking payment for all of that! Every punch I threw, every sleepless night Every camera in my face, every fight This money's mine by fucking right! [Verse 4 - The Escape] [Building back to full speed] Burn my flat, destroy my phone Emma Wilson's gone, unknown New passport, new fucking name No more part in this sick game The Handler thinks they got the case But I'm vanishing without a trace The shop girl who became a legend Dies tonight, her story ended [Final Chorus - Liberation] [Maximum intensity, triumph through tragedy] TWO BIRDS DIED SO ONE COULD FLY TEN MILLION REASONS TO SAY GOODBYE The thief, the snitch, they played their part I'm taking my brand new start THEY CHOSE CRIME, I CHOOSE FREEDOM FUCK THIS CITY, I DON'T NEED THEM Ten million pounds to disappear I'M GONE, I'M GONE, I'M FUCKING CLEAR! [Verse 5 - The Plane] [Quieter but still punk energy] Sitting on this plane to nowhere Different hair, no longer care Looking down at London burning My old life, there's no returning Kelly wanted to escape her fate Birdie wanted to be great Me? I just wanted to be free And now that's all I'll ever be [Epic Outro - The End] [Building to massive finale] Three women broken by one night Only one survived the fight Not through strength or being brave But by missing every grave They dug for themselves and each other I'm nobody's sister, nobody's mother Nobody's hero, nobody's friend This is how our story ends (Screaming) EMMA WILSON'S DEAD AND GONE! NEW LIFE STARTING WITH THE DAWN! TEN MILLION REASONS TO FORGET! NO REMORSE AND NO REGRET! (Quieter, over fading instruments) Two birds died so one could fly Kelly, Birdie, this is goodbye Your war is over, mine is won The tiny clerk's redemption done [Final words, spoken over last chord] "Thanks for the money, cunts" [End] [Jet engine roar fading to silence]
