Lyrics:
Both our eyes are red
but you're high and I'm crying
You're trying to forget
but it hits me everytime
You pray next to me
right hand holds your left sleeve
turning our heads gently
because when it ends we fight


and in that warm winter
I withered
I just want to get better
I'll be what you like
And every letter of fire
you read me when im tired
makes me want to cry

Whose lord are you naming?
When you start to break things?
its my only life you hold
and when you left me waiting
I thought
Did you do it in the name of God?
Did you do it in the name of God?

I wake up in the evening, when the days already done
and i walk to the nearest store
just to see someone

And everything is black
your hands and my past
If i dont wake tomorrow
promise me you'll laugh

and in that warm winter
I withered
I just want to get better
I'll be what you like
And every letter of fire
you read me when I’m tired
is replaying as a choir

Whose lord are you naming?
When you start to break things?
its my only life you hold
And when you left me waiting
I thought
Did you do it in the name of God?
Did you do it in the name of God?

In the name of God
In the name of God

[Mustafa] will you put on henna today?
[Cousin Mahmoud] God willing
[Mustafa] Mahmoud, the boss.
[Cousin Mahmoud] ..I'm not a boss, Hamza is the boss.
[Mustafa] And what about you?
[Cousin Mahmoud] Me?
[Mustafa] Yes.
[Cousin Mahmoud] I'm nothing.
[Mustafa] You're nothing? Allah is perfect.
[Cousin Mahmoud] I'm just a human and a Muslim, a human and a Muslim.
[Mustafa] a Human and a Muslim.
