Luv(sic) Part 5 (feat. Shing02) (Original)

[02:27.O5]On our lives we nourished

Till death do us apart, and it did

Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun

My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead

On our lives we nourished

And the days we cherished as kids

We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

In your last breath you told me, that you had to go

Cause it pained you so

Oh I loved you so much so

Was I selfish to hold on

And cling on to your body that hosts a soul

That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage

And you became eagerly what I wanted to be

You the person to leave, I the person

To see off another best friend to land's end

I watched grown men moan, and women weep

As you quietly descended six feet deep

But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes

A gift from god, returned to sender

Though I like to pretend that this never happened

I can turn around and see you laughing

But the fact is you could never practice

Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield

Endless field of shards of glass

This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast

First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes

And then a mountain of prayers unheard

'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below

Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith

I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet

Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed

Or alone on the road with nobody to hold

When the pouring rain is too much to bear

It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care

Till death do us apart and it did

Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun

My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead

And the days we cherished as kids

We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

Now I hit this stage in honor of you

How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view

No more stress for rent, or to make ends

Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy

I can hide behind lens that block the UV

Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky

The toll for the bridge is rising

Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning

Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off

On the runway, scoping out the window

The moisture covers the sight though

Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist

Trying to paint a dream you woke from

Chasing the departed

We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest

What I thought was a stream is now an ocean

No such thing as an extreme to show devotion

To your craft, which I didn't know the half

Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft

And a whiplash, all in reverse

Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone

And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun

By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up

Well I second that and I reckon that you tried

So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth

And the first flight out of town, into the mist

Till death do us apart and it did

Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun

Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead

On our lives we nourished

And the days we cherished as kids

We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind

Your smile is the only thing that shines

Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries

Or a random hand picks it instantly

Life is art, a miracle for all to see

I must tell you that you lived beautifully
