[Verse 1]

Only had a one for two with my head in the water

Caught a round, I put it to bed, did as a drummer but out of my head

I moved on, life was mine

But what am I thinking? Where am I going? Hell, I’m almost out of time

This freedom was lonely, I took a drink just to throw it up

I wiped my tears on my sleeve but now I roll ‘em up

To page one, open my book and I see these empty pages

Empty faces, takes me ages, figure how I’m gonna play this

Well I know this much — I’ve been down lately

And I’ve been feeling like you’re gonna come around to face me

And that’s not gonna happen so I’ve made my peace with that

And now I pick up my pen and I try to let go of the fact

These mysteries and dreams are my speciality

We’re rapping so I write these words for me and you, now let me take you back three years, it was a disgrace

Same conversations contracted of a greater trace of what I said and what I meant, it all started to waste

Like mains from an air vent, I just misplaced the race that I made in the first place, waiting for you to embrace

Because you showed me a menu and all I got was a taste

This first girl, she caught my heart and taught me nothing

Said that I would never feel a part of something as strong as it was I’m feeling

I’m losing my game in that false meaning

Getting to a point that after that could [?] place dreaming

My productivity, it hit the roof and [?], helped me think, finding the link

I started washing these ideas down the time sink so let your [?]

And always keep the other two in sync at the right brink

An elaboration of collaboration to dispute or dilute our destination

Minds are wasting, times are wasting

Getting comfortable [?], I hear a beat in a lone world

Then I met you and for me it was the proof I needed

Proof that I could still feel those butterflies, proof that I wasn’t just as cold as ice

And it was proof I couldn’t tell lies if it meant bringing one single tear to those beautiful eyes so

The march begins across paths we [?] paths

They amplify the motions, send me down the wrong path

And I was happy, damn I was happy

No one could touch me, no one, you made me invincible, but I lost [?]

[Chorus]

These empty pages

State that we’re broken at the seams

So I close my eyes

Take me to the land of the dreams

[Verse 2]

Okay, so maybe I already covered the topic

But it isn’t the end, in fact it’s fucking far from it

So learn from it until I run out of words, I won’t stop it

‘cause she’s going through my mind

I’m gonna have to make it rain, no

Not because affections still exist, [?] of politics

Concerning whether or not I got the right to diss this other guy who’s making her laugh and smile

I’m over her, don’t worry, I’m not in denial

But a wise man recognizes time is short lived

And if something’s on your mind, you’ve got to export it

So one way of doing that is to come here and expose it

Goes to show that even if you say you’re sorry and it was a mistake to kiss me, it wasn’t ‘cause it convinced me that even if you and I must go our separate ways, I hope you understand to me it was my sanity you saved

You didn’t keep me enslaved for any amount of time

You didn’t tell lies or try to step on my pride

And for that I show gratitude, what a hell of an attitude

Yeah honestly, from real deep down within

I hope you notice the line separating us is paper thin

Because I’m happy for you and yes I’m jealous of him but that doesn’t matter, this page of our story’s ripped up and bent

Now I’ve got to remember if it was worth it in the end, was it?

Takes two to tango, but someone has to start it

And I know that sounds a little bit of what [?] to let her tell

This girl that I’m a quitter, get this shit on Twitter and [?] already express this side

Course it didn’t [?] of an invested mind

So let me wrap this up [?] mental grave bullshit

[?] onlookers and truly sharper [?] in the toolshed

A private message going out to you and everyone else

The people who think they know me when I don’t know myself

I have bordered the shells and so I’m pinking on stage

I’m declaring my love lost from the cover to the first page

This book was empty to everyone’s eyes but mine

A shame the thing that was growing inside me was a beat and a bit more time

And all I ever wanted to do was just hear your laughter

You’re just a page this time, it’s funny, you could’ve been a chapter

But truthfully the only reason I even wrote this was to explore and note this emotional reaction but know this

You’re a real class lass so although we split fast, life is a race and you’re not last

And maybe we should have stopped it in December

But from what I remember, you’re more than appetite and temper
