[Verse 1: Beit Nun]
Unknowingly, I signed myself up for a life committed to writing lyrics
Started a story only I can finish
Some chapters I can't quite distinguish
Because my thoughts have been surprisingly consistent since I've been in this
I can't remember what it's like not to write
And feel the need to document what's on my mind before it's lost in time
My obligation to create is a hell of a weight of baggage
But never I failed to manage
Working hard, late finish, early start
The most valuable lesson learnt so far is we're worlds apart
Whatever I've done is never enough to earn your respect
So why on Earth d'you expect a sudden turn of events?
An open book with a cover you chose to judge
And a last chapter manufactured to dispel a plot that you conveniently overlooked
Served cold enough for soaking up
I won't be budged once you broke my trust
I don't owe a bean and my nose is clean
I'm simply aware I can fix and repair it all but my broken dreams
Then set myself up for a headfuck, but it felt good
Like: "That's what you deserve for accepting you'll never be successful"
Too defeatist to ever contend as a true elitist
If only I knew my strength like I knew my weakness
My best attributes are akin to my worst
So I'm sorry if you were hurt when you unwittingly wandered into my world
[Chorus: Beit Nun]
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You learn a lot from shedding your skin
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You don't learn without spreading your wings
[Verse 2: Dan Bull]
It takes balls of a considerable size
To sit and describe all your miserable times
My self-esteem drifts up and down, out and in with the tides
From inwardly despising myself to ignorant pride
It's in the pigments of the pixels I type
The ink when I write, the pictures my mind's eye depicts to the rhymes
When written, the lines vibrate, prisms that shift in the light
Late at night, space slips into time
Eyelids heavy, sink an energy drink and I'm wired
Ready to preside over this little kingdom of mine
Not every day's a Brandy Night, sometimes it's whiskey to wine
Putting aside a bit of time to sit and think is simply divine
Daydreaming into the night
Still riffing the same scheme, should switch up the rhyme
But old habits die begrudgingly and under duress
I'll hand it back to Ben and Noz, let them do the rest, yes
[Chorus: Beit Nun]
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You learn a lot from shedding your skin
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You don't learn without spreading your wings
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You learn a lot from shedding your skin
I've learned a lot of chapters in my book
Kept scribing no matter what it took
I never looked back at what I've done and regretted a thing
You don't learn without spreading your wings
