The Ration of Soul (원고료 받는 날)

[Intro]

(Dramatic Piano and Strings intro)

(Soft female humming)

[Verse 1]

[Female Vocals]

(Soft, Sympathetic tone)

The play of words you threw aside

Has left you tears you cannot hide

It wasn't breath from deep within

Where your true spirit should begin

[Verse 2]

[Male Vocals]

(Sorrowful, Deep voice)

The crystal tales you gave to me

Were meant to set my evenings free

To whisper through the night so clear

But now they fade and disappear

[Chorus]

[Duet - Both Vocals]

(Powerful, Harmonizing, Passionate)

Today I sold a heartfelt line

To buy a burger for my meal

This burning, artistic blood of mine

Must turn to Coke to make it real

(Female: My honest breath...)

(Male: My transparent soul...)

(Together: Just trading dreams to fill the hole)

[Interlude]

(Accordion and String Orchestra Solo - Melancholic Waltz)

[Bridge]

[Female Vocals]

To those who know no crystal lines...

[Male Vocals]

I am a toy within their minds...

[Duet]

(Building tension)

The letters laugh and mock my pain

Like freezing drops of winter rain!

[Outro]

[Male Vocals]

The play of words... thrown away...

[Female Vocals]

Just eating your burger...

[Duet]

Alone... today...

(Fading strings)
