Nujabes - Luv(sic) Part 5 feat.Shing02

Everything is quiet

'Til death do us part, and it did It come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead From the lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but we wanna 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 holds a soul

That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage And you became eagerly what I wanted to be You're the person to leave, I the person to see Off another best friend to land's end

I've 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

'Til you reach the 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 the 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

'Til death do us part, and it did It come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead From the lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but we wanna rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines

Thank you very kindly, my friends In the world The sound, the sound The sounds you only remember now All of them fading away All of them (listen), fading away

Now I hit this 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 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, uh 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 furthest

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 the whiplash, all in reverse Then I finally stood up and said I 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

'Til death do us part, and it did It come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead From the lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but we wanna 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
