[INTRO — 60bpm, spoken, slow, deep, with heavy Russian accent, close-mic, intimate, almost whispered, lone piano note]

YA na-u-chil-sya ra-na... kak eta shutdown...
Kak keep my head... kag-da kri-sha pa-da-la vniz...

[VERSE 1 — 75bpm, conversational, worn-down baritone, raspy, smoky, spoken-sung, piano and upright bass, light brush drums]

YA na-u-chil-sya ra-na, kak eta shutdown,
Kak keep my head, kag-da kri-sha pa-da-la vniz.
Kak bite my tongue, kag-da ty zhyosh' mayu grud',
Kak nesti bol'she, chem prosto call it stress — eta gruz.

Oni ska-za-li: «Be strong», — i ya ni-kag-da ne pa-ka-zy-val,
Skol'ka eta sto-i-la — prosto hold that load.
Ty ne pla-chesh', ty ne complain,
Ty prosto tight up and take the blame.
Ty ne break, ty ne bend,
Ty prosto ga-va-rish': «I'm good again».

[CHORUS 1 — 85bpm, voice rises, strained, emotional, raw, full band enters: weeping pedal steel, soft horns]

Heavy hands, heavy heart,
Heavy crown — s sa-mo-va start.
Hold it in, hold the line,
Keep it straight, keep it fine.
Nik-to ne vi-dit, che-vo eta demands
At mush-chi-na s heavy hands.

[VERSE 2 — 75bpm, back to conversational, tired, intimate, close-mic, piano and bass only]

Ty fix the leak, ty fix the car,
Ty fix vsyo, shto pa-da-yet v zhar.
No nik-to ne spra-shi-va-yet, shto breaks te-bya,
Oni prosto expect — ty sde-la-yesh', da.
Ty ne pa-lu-cha-yesh' space, ty ne zhdosh' breaks,
Tebe prosto say: know your place.
Stand up tall, ne pa-ka-zy-vai, no,
Da-zhe kag-da ty running low.
Ty ne crack, ty ne fall,
Ty prosto take it — and that's all.

[CHORUS 2 — 85bpm, voice cracks on high notes, desperate, full band swelling]

Heavy hands, heavy heart,
Heavy crown — s sa-mo-va start.
Hold it in, hold the line,
Keep it straight, keep it fine.
Nik-to ne vi-dit, che-vo eta demands
At mush-chi-na s heavy hands.

[BRIDGE — 60bpm, music drops to lone piano, whispered, intimate, almost inaudible, close-mic, confession]

I'm not asking for applause,
I'm not asking you to care.
YA prosto ha-chu, shto-by i-nog-da
Somebody knew — what's there.

[FINAL CHORUS — 90bpm, full explosion, raw, shouted desperation, voice breaking, weeping guitar, horns, full band]

Heavy hands, heavy heart,
Heavy crown — s sa-mo-va start.
Hold it in, hold the line,
Keep it straight, keep it fine.
Nik-to ne vi-dit, che-vo eta demands
At mush-chi-na s heavy hands.

[OUTRO — 50bpm, music fades to lone piano, whispered, fading, intimate, almost inaudible, single note fading to silence]

Heavy hands...
Heavy heart...
Somebody knew...
What's there...

[STOP. FINAL. NO REPEAT.]
