Instrumental:
Epik High - Over
Lyrics:
can't sleep, gotta write this
typo, I gotta type this
the kite is my mind, the instrumental the wind
white lies on the beat are my gentlest sin
I write rhymes and if asked why I reply
because I'm standing in line waiting to die
what else would I do if not this
rather be trapped in the studio than in a coffin
often I am lost in a room
trying to express what I'm able to get across in a tune
it's easier for me to write the right words
than say the wrong ones because I know they might hurt
I guess that's the catch, we all want to be real
but still avoid the consequence of expressing how we feel
so we mask and we cover and we make up
excuses press snooze and never wake up
useless
but that's life, I know, I live it every day
bite my tongue on the words I never say
never play, used to never stay because I didn't know how
but never wish I knew then what I know now
cause now I know the mistakes were key
thought I was breaking down, but I was remaking me
these days I'm focused on work it's
the only way that I can prove that I deserve this
this life is a blessing underneath all the stress
the naked body hides under the dress
under the glasses, under the powder
the skeletons buried under the foundation rattle louder
I can hear them, when you speak
see the missed opportunities and lost sleep
count the lost sheep, little bo peep
sometimes I'm stuck so deep
solo so alone in this world then I sleep
like a wrinkle in time a new crease
in the fabric
me and my girl we've got something magic
magic used to be a hobby
but I was as good at sleight of hand as I was at karate
not much, I lost touch
isn't it funny how we refer to kids as brought up
as if childhood was a molehill we made into a mountain
lost like the coins we prayed into a fountain
made wishes, gave kisses
I don't say I'm different, but hey listen
I'm different
I changed, I changed
I couldn't stay the same, I was weak
I blame, I blame
myself for it taking this long I was asleep
couldn't see the scars I left in those around me
woke up and the damage was astounding
I was sleepkilling the dreams of those who loved me
but I never lied, I told them don't trust me
but deep down, I just wanted them to trust me
wanted to believe that I was better than what I had seen
myself in the mirror I was living a lie
saying I could do better but unwilling to try
that's the contradiction between faith and penicillin
you can work for the change or wait for wish fulfillment
I didn't wait, I acted
wrote some sad songs you heard me rap it
then I wrapped it up, cut ties and set sail
couldn't live, couldn't sleep with myself, rest failed
and I thought I would never be the same and I wasn't
grew up in a second with no second thoughts or discussion
