Billions explores the hidden worlds that make life possible—from microscopic cells to entire systems that sustain our bodies and societies. This album is both a scientific journey and an emotional landscape, translating data, numbers, and natural rhythms into music that resonates physically and emotionally.
At its core, Billions is a meditation on scale:
The music blends electric piano, organ, guitar, synth, bass, and percussion to create layers that mirror the interconnectedness of life itself. From subsonic rumbles to soaring melodies, each track invites the listener to experience scale in a visceral, immersive way.
Billions is both a scientific homage and a sonic exploration—an album for those who want to feel the pulse of life, understand the mechanics of existence, and reflect on the interconnectedness of everything from cells to societies.
[Intro]
Minions (turn to millions) Millions
(turn to billions)
[Verse 1]
Count the coins, count the crowns
Gold goes up as hope goes down
Hands in pockets, hands in chains
Private profits, public pains
Screens glow bright with numbers tall
From the tower they watch it fall
Markets cheer the rising tide
But the streets know what’s inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Stacks grow higher, hearts grow cold
Every story already sold
[Chorus]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
As they reign rain
(Pour on the poor)
[Verse 2]
Build the towers, scrape the sky
Sell tomorrow, buy the lie
Every empire loves the game
Different faces, same old name
Credit rivers flood the land
Paper power, sleight of hand
Balance sheets and broken towns
Golden thrones on borrowed crowns
[Pre-Chorus]
Count it once, count it twice
Someone always pays the price
[Chorus]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
As they reign rain
(Pour on the poor)
[Bridge – Collapse Pulse]
Billions building brittle walls
Every tower someday falls
Billions betting on the throne
But gravity collects its own
[Final Chorus – Full Band Explosion]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Billions…
(Turn to dust)
[Outro]
Billions…
Billions…
Billions…
[Intro]
Millions?
Billions…
(turn to millions)
Millions…
(turn to minions)
[Verse 1]
Down below the marble halls
Under shadows of the walls
People counting what remains
Dust of promises and chains
Neon signs and empty streets
Paper dreams and unpaid sheets
Every tower casting shade
Over every deal they made
[Pre-Chorus]
Numbers climbing in the sky
While the ground runs dry
[Chorus]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
[Verse 2]
Ledger lines and silent towns
Empty shelves and falling crowns
Every empire sells the same
Different script, familiar game
Watch the towers flashing gold
While the winters grow more cold
Every number on the screen
Hides the cost of what has been
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the losses, count the lies
Truth beneath the rise
[Chorus]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
[Bridge – Fracture]
When the walls begin to crack
All the numbers spiral back
When the towers start to lean
Every ledger turns unseen
[Spoken Vocal — echoing]
The higher the wealth…
The deeper the debt.
[Final Chorus – Full Band]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Millions…
(turn to voices)
[Outro]
Millions…
Millions…
[Soft Vocal]
Not forever minions.
[Intro]
Minions…
(they said)
Minions…
(they called us)
[Verse 1]
Morning bells and factory light
Paper shifts and endless night
Names erased on numbered lines
Lives reduced to bottom lines
Hands that build the shining towers
Trade their days for borrowed hours
Every promise carved in stone
Every worker stands alone
[Pre-Chorus]
They count the gold
They write the rules
They crown the kings
They forge the tools
[Chorus]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(in their way)
Minions
(in their eyes)
Minions
(in disguise)
[Verse 2]
[Beat heavier — driving snare]
Cities humming, engines loud
Numbers floating in a cloud
Every tower made of hands
Every throne on shifting sands
Screens declare the rising gain
But the streets remember pain
Every ledger hides the cost
Every victory someone lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the wealth
Count the lies
Count the silence
In their eyes
[Chorus]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(in their way)
Minions
(in their eyes)
Minions
(in disguise)
[Bridge – Awakening]
But minions learn
And minions see
And minions speak
Eventually
Every whisper grows a sound
Every step shakes the ground
[Bridge – Turning]
[Full band drops to half tempo]
Minions build the roads and rails
Minions write forgotten tales
Minions hold the hidden keys
Minions move the histories
[Spoken Vocal — rising]
Without the minions…
there are no millions.
Without the millions…
there are no billions.
[Final Chorus – Full Band Explosion]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(not today)
Minions
(standing tall)
Minions
(after all)
[Outro]
Minions…
turn to millions.
Millions…
turn to billions.
Billions…
fall to dust.
[Intro]
Has the ending just begun…
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Verse 1]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
Better get out of the way
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 1]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
Better get out of the way
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Verse 2]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
No, that ain’t O.K.
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Outro]
So…
Do you know
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
Is that the show
(Oh, no, no)
Whatever happened to freedom?
(Blown to kingdom come)
ABOUT THE SONG: “More Winning?” Trump’s Record Baby Bombing
The US has been spending a billion dollars a day bombing babies for days and days.
The 2026 escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has produced an unprecedented spike in civilian casualties, particularly among children. Modern conflicts involving the United States have not seen child casualty figures of this magnitude in such a short timeframe.
Child Casualties in the Middle East
According to recent UNICEF reports, over 1,100 children have been killed or injured in the Middle East since the start of the Iran conflict on February 28, 2026.
This figure represents a concentrated 10-day spike, which is unprecedented in modern U.S. military engagements. While U.S. forces have historically been involved in conflicts with high cumulative child casualties, the speed and intensity of this recent spike are unmatched.
[Intro]
Did you hear that cry…
(From the other side of the sky)
Smoke in the sun
(What have we done)
[Verse 1]
Sirens in the morning light
(Broken classroom floor)
Little shoes in scattered lines
(They won’t run no more)
Paper dreams and chalkboard dust
(Falling with the roof)
Someone said it must be war
(But where is the proof)
[Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Who gave the command
(To bury the sand)
Hide the shame
(And change the name)
Collateral damage
(That’s what they say)
[Verse 2]
Newsprint stains the evening air
(Statistics on a page)
But numbers never show the face
(Or measure up the rage)
Someone’s daughter
(Someone’s friend)
Someone’s story
(At the end)
[Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Bridge – Spoken Breakdown]
Tell me now
(What was won)
When the smoke
(Hides the sun)
Freedom falling
(From the sky)
[Final Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Outro]
Did you hear that cry…
(From the other side of the sky)
Whatever happened to freedom?
(We still ask why)
[Intro]
Geee!
Is it a “Double Lifetime Guarantee”?
[Verse 1]
You sold it shiny new
(Factory sealed)
Promises wrapped in blue
(A crooked deal)
Said it would last forever
(No need to fear)
But forever keeps getting shorter
(Year by year)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t got that many lifetimes
(To count your mistakes)
Corruption, vice, and crimes
(Until man’s will awakes)
[Bridge]
Or everything breaks
[Chorus]
A billion seconds
(Work twice my life)
For your record reckons
(The fate of hate and strife)
A billion seconds gone
(Just like that)
Your crooked ledger drawn
(In the aftermath)
[Breakdown]
Now we know…
(This sh, sh, sha… it) show
(Has ga, gotta…) Go!
Truth leaks out slow
(Through every crack)
The longer you run it
(The harder the smack)
[Verse 2]
You stamped it “guaranteed”
(For life and more)
But whose life you mean
(Is the hidden score)
Double the promise
(Double the lie)
Stacked to the heavens
(High in the sky)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t got that many lifetimes
(To watch the decay)
Counting your headlines
(Day after day)
[Chorus]
A billion seconds
(Work twice my life)
For your record reckons
(The fate of hate and strife)
A billion seconds burn
(Into the night)
Every page we turn
(Reveals the fight)
[Final Breakdown]
Lifetime promise
(Printed in gold)
But the truth behind it
(Is already sold)
Double lifetime guarantee?
(We’ll see…)
[Outro]
Tick… tick… tick…
(Time keeps score)
You can promise forever
(But never more)
End of the endeavor
ABOUT THE SONG
If you spent 40 hours a week counting at an average rate of one number per second, it would take approximately 133.5 years to reach one billion.
Realistic speech rates: Some estimates suggest that because large numbers take several seconds to pronounce, the actual time spent counting (even non-stop) could exceed 100 to 200 years.
The Million vs. Billion difference: At one number per second, you can count to a million in just 11.5 days.
[Intro – Spoken / Chant]
Hear the billions!
(Counting our lives!)
Stacked in towers!
(Where power thrives!)
[Verse 1]
They sit on golden thrones
(High in the sky)
We sweat and we toil
(While they decide)
Every second measured
(Each breath we give)
Every fortune built
(On the life we live)
[Pre-Chorus 1 – Chantable]
A billion seconds sold!
(Billion, billion, billion!)
Corruption in plain sight!
(We see it all!)

Crowd: For what is right!
[Verse 2 – Spoken / Chant]
Every ledger open!
(Expose their greed!)
Every rule they bend!
(To crush our need!)
Money talks louder!
(But we’ve got fire!)
Billions of hearts!
(Burning with desire!)
[Breakdown – Mass Chant]
Now we rise!
(Now we rise!)
This sh… it dies!
(Sh… it dies!)
From the street!
(To the crowd!)
Hear the people shout it loud!
(Shout it loud!)
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Chant]
A billion seconds spent…
(Under their rule!)
We won’t be silenced!
(By their tool!)
[Chorus – Reprise / Mass]
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: We will stand tall!
Leader: Against the lies!
Crowd: That bind us all!
Leader: A billion hearts!
Crowd: Joining in the fight!
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: For what is right!
All Together:
Rise! Rise! Rise!
(Against the crown!)
Fight! Fight! Fight!
(We take it down!)
[Final Breakdown – Spoken / Chant]
Every promise printed in gold…
(Can’t hide the truth!)
Time is ours now…
(Count every breath!)
We won’t bow down…
(We choose life over death!)
[Outro – Extended Instrumental / Chant Fade]
Tick… tick… tick…
(We take the score!)
Billions counted!
(And still we rise!)
Against the crown!
(We claim the skies!)
The crown…
(… is going down!)
[Intro – Extended Cosmic Jam]
Moving at the speed of light…
(Everything stands still)
Billions of photons passing by…

Ancient signals
(Never tire)
Every glimmer
(From afar)
Every photon
(From a star)

Billions of stories
(Travel the skies)
Billions of moments

Across the cosmos
(Finding home)
Ancient fire
(Still alive)
In every ray
(That survives)

(You never will)
Stars beyond measure…
(Standing still)
Speed of light…
(Through endless night)
[Chorus – Reprise]
Billions of photons
(Flash by my eyes)
Billions of questions
(Under the skies)
Billions of lifetimes
(Too short to know)
Where all that starlight
(Wants to go)
[Breakdown – Quiet Reflection]
[Percussion fades]
[Organ Pad]
Did you see it?
(The light of the past)
Did you feel it?
(How long it can last)
[Final Chorus – Expansive]
Billions of photons
(Filling the night)
Billions of journeys
(Riding on light)
Billions of answers
(Hidden in flame)
Every bright star
(Calling your name)
[Outro – Long Instrumental Fade]
A billion seconds…
(A billion lights)
Still just a moment…
(In cosmic nights)
[Intro]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)

Every heartbeat counts
(Every breath)
Every thought amounts
(From birth to death)
Trillions in motion
(See the flow)
Building devotion
(To what we know)
[Bridge]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)
[Chorus]
Thirty-seven billion
(Cells)
Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)
[Verse 2]
Skin to sinew,
(Bone to blood)
Every tissue,
(Moving like a flood)
Microscopic armies
(Marching on)
Holding memories,
(Each one strong)

Do you see them move?
(Cellular groove)
All in rhythm,
(Alive, alive)
Count the cells
(37 billion drive)

Thirty-seven billion
(Cells)
Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)
[Outro – Instrumental Jam]
Whispers of life
(Cells, cells…)
Echo in the body
(37 billion…)
ABOUT THE SONG
The average adult human body contains approximately 30,000 to 37,200 billion cells. Recent comprehensive studies have refined these numbers based on gender and age:
* Adult Males: Roughly 36 trillion cells (based on a reference 70 kg male).
* Adult Females: Roughly 28 trillion cells (based on a reference 60 kg female).
* Children: Roughly 17 trillion cells (for an average 10-year-old).

Life’s equation
[Verse 1]
Heart pumps steady
(Blood on the run)
Lungs expand ready
(Air for everyone)
Liver livin’,
(Thinking of you)
Brain givin’,
(Thoughts come through)
[Bridge 1] – Breakdown
Organs moving, working
(Cells converging)
Life is a symphony
(All emerging)
Living in harmony

Muscle, nerve, and bone
(All comes alive)
Every organ shown

(Brain’s still reeling)
Shiver up the spine,

(Organs in tandem)
Working in rhythm

Life sustains
(37 billion cells alive…)
Life resounds,
(Life is found)
Echoing through the sound,
(A living symphony…)
Life in harmony
ABOUT THE SONG
Organs dives deep into the systems that sustain life, following the trillions of cells explored in its companion track Cells. From heartbeats to lung expansion, liver filtration to neural signals, this track brings the body’s inner machinery to life through music. Layered with electric piano, organ, synth, bass, and percussion, Organs transforms biological rhythms into a rich sonic journey—inviting listeners to feel the pulse, motion, and harmony of the human body from the inside out.

(Stack after stack)
One billion dollars…
(And that’s just the start)
How high will it go…
(Before it falls apart?)
[Instrumental Fade]
ABOUT THE SONG
A stack of one billion $1 bills would reach 67.9 miles high, extending well into the Earth’s atmosphere and technically reaching space.
[Intro]
Ching, ching
(Ding. Ding.)
Billions paid…
(Every year)
But when it comes back…
(What appears?)
Nothing… just lack.
[Verse 1]
April comes calling
(Time to pay)
Working all year
(Just to send it away)
Promises printed
(Shiny and new)
But the change that returns
(Is a nickel or two)
[Chorus]
Short changed
(Every time)
Billions taken
(Not a dime)
Short changed
(Year by year)
Billions vanish
(Disappear)
[Verse 2]
Schools need fixing

Hospitals waiting
(Day after day)
Money goes flying
(Out of the gate)
But the bill comes back
(To the working state)
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the billions
(Stacked so tall)
But when they spend it
(We get small)
[Chorus]
Short changed
(That’s the deal)
Paper fortunes
(Never real)
Short changed
(Stack the pay)
Billions gone
(Every day)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Check the ledger…
(Check it twice)
We pay the price…
(We pay the price)
Still short changed…
(Every time)

Short changed!
(Every time!)
Billions paid!
(Not a dime!)
Short changed!
(Every year!)
Where’d it go?
(Disappeared!)
[Outro]
Billions of dollars…
(Stacked to the sky)
But the change we get back…
(Is barely a dime)
Still short changed…
(Every time)
Feeling robbed…
(Here I sob)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
Raise a toast
(To the most)
Ten to the ninth
(Then ten to the tenth…)
Push it higher
(No consequence…)
[Chorus – Extended]
1 with 9 zeros
(Nowhere near equal)
A billion is power
(Devours the people)
Multiply, divide
(Split and control)
Add to the top
(Subtract from the whole)
[Collapse Section]
Count it up…
(Watch it fall…)
Too big to fail…
(Too big for all…)
[Final Chorus – Dark Reprise]
1 with 9 zeros
(Endless cathedral)
A billion is silence
(Erase the people)
Stack it again
(Until it breaks)
Numbers ascend
(That’s what it takes)
[Outro – Dissolution]
There’s one for you
(And two for me)
… let’s see…
(Where we’re we?)
… oh yeah…
There’s one for you
(And two for me)
Ten to the ninth…
(Still counting…)
[Intro]
Would ya look at what we’ve got
(That’s a lot)
[Verse 1]
Counting every zero
(From one to a hero)
Numbers rise and swell
(Stories they tell)
From grains to billions
(Endless trillions)
Stack it all high
(Looking at the sky)
[Verse 2]
Paper and digits
(Mountains of it)
Lives in the balance
(Split and transmit)
From hands to machines
(Calculating means)
Everything’s measured
(But what really counts?)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Could be much, much worse
(… in the back of a hearse)
Watch it multiply
(While we sigh)
Count it all again
(Where does it end?)
[Chorus]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Stack it high
(Reaching the sky)
Can’t believe all we’ve got
(That’s a lot, a lot…)
[Verse 3]
Every extra billion
(Changes the feeling)
From homes to oceans
(Can’t see the ceiling)
Numbers in motion
(Pulling devotion)
It’s overwhelming
(Lost in the notion)
[Final Chorus – Extended]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Bigger than we dreamed
(Or even thought)
Everything together
(That’s a lot, a lot, a lot…)
[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
That’s a lot…
(Yeah… that’s a lot…)
[Intro]
Choo… choo….
(There goes the gravy train)
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
After everything’s claimed…
(Leftovers…)
Discover
(The gravy stains)
[Verse 1]
Scraps on the table
(After the feast)
Numbers unstable
(At least… at least…)
Plenty above
(Nothing below)
Where does it go?
(We already know)
[Verse 2]
Overflow towers
(Empty hands)
Counted in powers
(Shifted demands)
Digits keep climbing
(Lives stay the same)
Winners keep winning
(That’s the game)
[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t divide it
(Without the loss)
What’s left behind
(Pays the cost)
[Chorus]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Scrape the remains
(From the pot)
After the billions
(Leftovers… that’s a lot…)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Could be much, much worse…
(Still getting worse…)
Count what is left…
(After the first…)
[Chorus – Expanded]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Take from the whole
(Add to the top)
What trickles down
(Leftovers don’t stop…)
[Final Chorus – Dark Reprise]
Leftovers…
(After the plot)
All that remains
(That’s a lot…)
Count it again
(Take another shot)
After the billions…
(Leftovers… that’s all we got…)
[Outro – Dissolution]
[Low Piano, Sub Bass Fading, Static Crackle]
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
… and gravy stains
[Intro]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
Opportunities
(From see to shining sees)
[Verse 1 – Soft Build]
Step into the light
(Feel the day ignite)
Paths before your eyes
(Choices to realize)
[Chorus – Full Band]
It’s up to you
(What you choose to do)
Making up your mind
(To be oh so kind)
Opportunities
(From see to shining sees)
Open up your heart
(Let your spirit breathe)
[Bridge 2 – Textural Shift]
Opportunity
(Is calling out to me)
Opportunity
(It’s the song we all can sing)
[Verse 2 – Rising Intensity]
Every step you take
(Every choice you make)
Shapes the world you see
(Becomes reality)
Hearts and minds collide
(Feel the change inside)
Moments passing by
(Let your courage fly)
[Outro – Fade]
Opportunities…
(From see to shining sees)
Opportunity…
(For both you and me)
[Intro – Ambient Fade In]
Billions of decisions
(Opportunities’ provisions)
Consequences…
(Whispers in the dark)
After every spark
(Comes the mark)
[Verse 1 – Sparse, Haunting]
You took the road
(You felt was right)
But every turn
(Carries a price)
Echoes remain
(They never leave)
Truth in the shadows
(Beneath belief)
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension]
What did you gain?
(What did you lose?)
Lines in the sand
(You didn’t choose)
[Chorus – Full but Heavy]
Every opportunity
(Casts a shadow you can’t see)
Every choice you make
(Is a line you can’t erase)
From sea to shining seas
(There’s no such thing as free)
Consequences…
(For you and me)
[Verse 2 – More Intense]
The higher you climb
(The further you fall)
The louder the silence
(After it all)
Promises fade
(But scars remain)
Nothing is lost
(Without a stain)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Opportunity…
(You took your shot)
Opportunity…
(Now count the cost)
[Chorus – Bigger, Darker]
Every opportunity
(Casts a shadow you can’t see)
Every choice you make
(Is a line you can’t erase)
From sea to shining seas
(It follows endlessly)
Consequences…
(For you and me)
[Bridge 2 – Climactic Spiral]
No rewind
(No return)
Every lesson
(Left to burn)
Opportunity…
(Becomes memory)
Memory…
(Becomes gravity)
[Outro – Dissolve]
Billions of decisions
(Opportunities’ provisions)
Consequences…
(From see to shining sees)
Opportunity…
(Fades into what will be)
[Portamento Glide]
[Intro – Ambient Fade In]
Billions of decisions

[Intro]
One bajillion
(Budget vaudevillian)
[Verse 1 – Grooving Build]
Numbers climb
(Out of line)
Credit dreams
(Split the seams)
Spend it fast
(Make it last)
Future’s sold
(Bought the past)
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension]
Count it up
(Count it down)
Lost control
(Watch it drown)
[Chorus – Full Hit]
How much can I spend
(How much can you lend)
One bajillion
(Budget vaudevillian)
Round and round we go
(More than we can show)
One bajillion
(Budget vaudevillian)
[Verse 2 – Sharper, More Satirical]
Print it out
(Bail it out)
Magic trick
(Double quick)
Debt parade
(Numbers fade)
Curtain call
(Won’t get paid)
[Bridge – Reprise / Breakdown]
Cash to blow
(Oh, I don’t know)
Unsustainable
(Unattainable)
Over-indulge
(Bulk and bulge)
[Spoken – Distorted Vocal]
“Step right up… infinite returns… guaranteed illusions…”
[Chorus – Big, Almost Anthemic]
How much can I spend
(How much can you lend)
One bajillion
(Budget vaudevillian)
Line it up again
(Break it, never mend)
One bajillion
(Budget vaudevillian)
[Bridge 2 – Collapse Feel]
Stack it high
(Watch it fall)
Nothing left
(After all)
Paper crowns
(Tumble down)
Silent stage
(Empty sound)
[Outro – Dissolving]
One bajillion…
(Budget vaudevillian)
How much can I spend…
(…nothing left to lend)
[Intro – Glitch Bloom]
Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion…
(Beyond a billion)
No ceiling
(No feeling)
’cause ill ilion
[Verse 1 – Mechanical Groove]
Count it twice
(Still not right)
Add a zero
(Overnight)
Digits blur
(What’s it worth?)
Paper gods
(Rule the earth)
[Pre-Chorus – Rising Pressure]
Spin the wheel
(Sign the deal)
Nothing real
(Just the feel)
[Chorus – Big, Unstable]
How much is enough?
(It’s never enough)
Kazillion
(We call it a bluff)
Stack it to the sky
(Watch the numbers lie)
Kazillion
(Too big to deny)
[Bridge]
Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion…
(Beyond a billion)
No ceiling
(No feeling)
’cause ill ilion
(Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion)
[Verse 2 – Escalation]
Leverage high
(Touch the sky)
Borrowed time
(By design)
Margin calls
(Start to crawl)
Hear the cracks
(Through the walls)
[Bridge]
Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion…
(Beyond a billion)
No ceiling
(No feeling)
’cause ill ilion
(Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Kazillion…
(It multiplies)
Kazillion…
(It never dies)
“Unlimited… exponential… guaranteed…”
[Chorus – Overdriven]
How much is enough?

Kazillion
(We call it a bluff)
Build it again
(Break it again)
Kazillion
(Infinite pretend)
[Bridge 2 – Collapse Spiral]
Up we go
(Down we crash)
Flash of wealth
(Turns to ash)
Zeroed out
(No way back)
All that weight
(Start to crack)
[Outro – Hollow Aftermath]
Kazillion…
(What did it mean?)
Kazillion…
(Just a machine)
Nothing left
(But the sound)
Of it all

(Ka, ka, ka, Kazillion)
[Final Whisper]
“Still ka, ka, counting…”
[Intro]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
[Verse 1]
Seems that cash
(Is a thing of the past)
Plastic and code
(Where did it go?)
Numbers on screens
(Not what it seems)
Stackin’ it high
(But nothing to show)
Digits replace
(The weight and the space)
No smell of ink
(No coins that clink)
Try to compare
(It isn’t there)
A pile of air
(Do you dare?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Swipe it, tap it
(Watch it vanish)
Count it, track it
(Can’t quite grasp it)
[Bridge]
Virtual (digital)
Sooo… how do you know
What you hold
(When there’s nothing to show… oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
Stack it up high
(Reach for the sky)
But all that you’ve got
(Is numbers that lie)
Ya know…
(It’s kinda strange)
What once had weight
(Now slips through change)
[Verse 2]
Fortunes rise
(In data disguise)
Up in the cloud
(Lost in the crowd)
Flash of a trade
(Gains that just fade)
Blink and it’s gone
(Just like a con)
Wealth without form
(The new kind of norm)
Built on a screen
(Not what it’s been)
Try to withdraw
(Find the flaw)
Nothing to hold
(Nothing at all)
[Bridge 2 – Breakdown]
I dunno…
(Where did it go?)
Used to be stacks
(Now just a flow)
Invisible lines
(Define the design)
Trust in the code
(Along for the ride)
[Chorus – Bigger, Fuller]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
How can you show
(A pile of money)
Count it all day
(Watch it decay)
Something so big
(Can just float away)
Ya know…
(It’s kinda wild)
All of this wealth
(Feels like a file)
[Outro – Dissolve]
Ya know…
(It’s kinda funny)
Tried to build up
(A pile of money)
[Soft Spoken]
“Balance: zero point zero…”
[Intro]
Hey there!
(Are you a billionaire)
Woe, I regret
(Not yet)
[Verse 1]
Got to keep up with the Jones
(Everything they own)
Bigger house, longer drive
(Just to feel alive)
Shiny things, diamond rings
(Pulled by puppet strings)
Chasing dreams that never land
(Slipping through your hands)
Climb the ladder, rung by rung
(Still feel outdone)
Every win just ups the bet
(Deeper into debt)
Numbers rise, pressure too
(What’s enough for you?)
Mirror says you’re falling short
(In this endless sport)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey there!
(Are you a billionaire)
Woe, I regret
(Not yet)
[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire
(Float above without a care)
Stack it high into the air
(Prove to everyone I’m there)
Count it up, compare and stare
(Life reduced to what you share)
I wanna be a billionaire
(Do you dare?)
[Verse 2]
Private jets and quiet deals
(That’s how power feels)
Hidden rooms and coded trades
(Fortunes quietly made)
Zeroes stacked in silent lines
(Digital designs)
What you see is just the show
(Not the undertow)
Build it fast, build it tall
(Watch it start to fall)
Markets turn, tides reverse
(Blessing into curse)
All that glitters fades to gray
(Drifts and slips away)
What you hold can disappear
(Faster than you fear)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey there!
(Are you a billionaire)
Woe, I regret
(Not yet)
[Chorus – Bigger, Layered Vocals]
I wanna be a billionaire
(Float above without a care)
Stack it high into the air
(Prove to everyone I’m there)
Count it up, compare and stare
(Life reduced to what you share)
I wanna be a billionaire
(Is it fair?)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Hey there…
(What’s it worth?)
All that gold
(Leaves the earth)
You got more
(Still want more)
Endless climb
(What’s the score?)
[Bridge 2 – Dark Turn]
[Half-Time Groove, Distorted Bass]
Billion here
(Billion there)
Still not peace
(Still not care)
All that gain
(All that strain)
Echoes hollow
(Just the same)
[Final Chorus – Stripped Then Full]
I wanna be a billionaire
(Why do I even care?)
Stack it high into the air
(Nothing really there)
Count it up, compare and stare
(Chasing something rare)
I wanted to be a billionaire
(Now I’m aware)
[Outro]
Hey there…
(Are you a billionaire)
Woe, I regret
(Not yet… not yet…)
[Intro – Eerie Atmosphere]
The say all’s fair
(Billion-air)
Air so thin
(Where did it go?)
All those dreams
(Floating slow)
Hey there…
(Billion-air)
[Verse 1 – Descent]
Numbers fall
(Wind through the hall)
Empty halls, hollow walls
(All that wealth now small)
Luxury turns to dust
(Friends betray your trust)
Whispers, deals, and hidden scores
(Sliding through closed doors)
Clocks tick loud
(Shadows crowd)
Echoes of a past parade
(Gone, decayed)
Chasing power, chasing fame
(Sparks a fire, fans the flame)
All you touched slips like sand
(Out of your hand)
[Pre-Chorus – Isolation]
Hey there…
(All alone)
Billion-air…
(Nothing’s grown)
Woe, regret…
(Forgotten tone)
[Chorus – Collapse]
Billion-air
(Drifting, fleeting)
All your wealth
(Disappearing)
Chasing clouds
(Out of reach)
Nothing left
(Just a breach)
Falling fast
(From your throne)
Empty crown
(All alone)
Billion-air
(Fade to gone)
[Bridge – Haunting Breakdown]
The parties end
(Only echoes)
The towers fall
(Empty meadows)
Friends and foes
(Blurs and tears)
Billion-air
(Disappears)
[Verse 2 – Reflection]
Mirror cracks
(Who you were)
Shadows laugh
(Obscured)
All that you built
(Slipped away)
Nothing to hold
(Nothing to say)
No applause
(No more laws)
Just the wind
(Without a cause)
Every zero, every deal
(Never touched, never real)
[Pre-Chorus – Isolation 2]
Hey there…
(All alone)
Billion-air…
(Nothing’s grown)
Woe, regret…
(Forgotten tone)
[Chorus – Dissolution]
Billion-air
(Drifting, fleeting)
All your wealth
(Disappeating)
Chasing clouds
(Out of reach)
Nothing left
(Just a breach)
Falling fast
(From your throne)
Empty crown
(All alone)
Billion-air
(Fade to gone)
[Outro – Dissipating Into Thin Air]
Air so thin
(Where did it go?)
All that gold
(Slipped below)
Echo fades
(Into the sky)
Billion-air (Where?)
(Let it fly)
[Intro]
To you… and you… and you
(Thank you)
… oh, and you two, too
(Thank you)
[Verse 1]
Every note
(Every sound)
Every ear
(That we found)
Every step along the way
(Night to day)
Every line
(Every rhyme)
Every moment
(Frozen time)
All the ones who tuned in close
(Means the most)
[Pre-Chorus]
Countless faces
(Countless names)
Different paths
(Same old flames)
If we tried to count them all
(We’d still fall short)
[Chorus]
A billion thank you’s
(From me to you)
For every second
(You saw it through)
Across the noise
(Through all the years)
You were the signal
(We could hear)
A billion thank you’s
(Loud and clear)
For every moment
(You were here)
[Verse 2]
Some came once
(Some stayed long)
Some just drifted
(Through a song)
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been
(You fit in)
From the start
(To the end)
Stranger, listener, family, friend
Every voice within the sea
(Carried me)
[Pre-Chorus]
All the echoes
(All the ties)
In between
(Hellos, goodbyes)
Every spark that lit the dark
(Left a mark)
[Chorus – Full]
A billion thank you’s
(From me to you)
For every second
(You saw it through)
Through every rise
(Through every fall)
You were the reason
(For it all)
A billion thank you’s
(Far and wide)
A billion hearts
(Beat inside)
[Bridge – Minimal / Intimate]
If this is it…
(Or just the start)
Every end
(Leaves a mark)
Numbers fade
(But not the feel)
What was shared
(Was always real)
[Outro – Slow Dissolve]
A billion thank you’s!
(And a billion good-bye’s)
