Luv(sic) part 5

(Jumpster remix)

Till death do us part
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 part
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

Listen

Now I hit the stage in honour of you
How’s the other side? I bet it’s a splendid view
No more stress for rent or to make ends [meet]
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 part
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

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
