[Verse 1: B.g. Bene]
Nothing lasts forever, and when it rains it pours
Just know that when I knock on heaven’s doors
It’ll be forever - what am I writing you these letters for?
They only color my pain, while my gain is just blank
A sheet of paper - what do you see in people’s eyes?
When I see that they ain’t really got no true, true disguise
They keep holding the world accountable for their own failures
But there’s a lesson that I learned when you can’t cope with the mirror
Am I just speaking to myself?
Am I just a shell of my former self?
The way I see it, we don’t see eye to eye
On the brink of losing hope - naw homie, this ain’t no joke
‘till it’s too late - yeah, you just sealed your fate
Dark clouds keep on turning up, overshadow your path
The longer the lines, the stronger the deprivation
Naw homie, this ain’t no invocation
[Verse 2: Silas]
Nothing lasts forever and when it rains it pours
Just know that when I knock, on heavens doors
It’ll be forever, what am I writing you these letters for
They only show you my soul but you don’t even care, huh
I can see it in your eyes, I can see right through your lies
I can see that your whole identity’s just a disguise
I can tell even though you never really thought I could
And you done stopped caring even though I never thought you would
So I keep, keep going ‘till my legs give in
And you keep, keep, keep showing who you’ve really been
All this time, never saw it coming never thought that it would happen
Otherwise I’d sent you packing, now I’m trapped in
This maze I built myself, insecure and helpless
With no way out, no escape plan, dark clouds mark the days end
All the voices in my head - today I think they win
Always here with me, so I guess I’ll have to be patient
